GOOD LOOKS
Nail polish
This time of year calls for a fabulous but budget-friendly lift to the sprits. Step up, the humble nail polish. There may not be any real evidence to back up our theory that a colourful mani equals instant happiness, but who can fail to be cheered by seeing a pop of bright polish on their nails? What’s more, head-to-toe bold hues were among fashion’s biggest spring trends, so accessorising with one of our chic choices will give you an instant style update without costing a fortune. If the high-voltage tones are too much of a departure from your usual colour palette, then try manicurist Deborah Lippman’s tip and use a mattifying top coat to dial down the colour.
