WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT... PEARLY POLISH

WHEN it comes to nail trends, forget the colour, it’s all about the finish. Mother-of-pearl glazes were all over the catwalk and this month sees the arrival of a host of new formulas.

Barry M’s Under the Sea Nail Paint has 12 shades with a formula that subtly catches the light (€5.99 each, littlewoods ireland.ie). Other polishes that tick the box include Essie’s Press Pause, from the Serene Slate collection, which is a calming light grey with a cloudy blue sheen (€9.99, boots.ie), and the Reflectors range from Nails Inc (€18, brownthomas.com.)
