BEAUTY Spotlight

a CND citrus spa manicure to energise and revive, and a CND marine mineral spa pedicure to deeply nurture and restore. All I can do is lie back and float away on a blissful cloud as not only my hands and feet but also wrists, forearms, ankles, and calves are smoothed and soothed. A pearly illuminating masque is activated beneath warm towels before any tension I had left dissolves under a deep and luxurious massage. With my skin soft and glowing, it’s time for the fun part. A shrine to the art of nails, Nails and BD Salwa boasts a dazzling palette in every finish and variation of the colours of the rainbow – and then some. Expert nail artists stand ready to add intricate micro-painting and embellishment for those who want to take their talons to the next level. I toy with a deep opalescent blue, but it feels too ‘wintry’ a way to step into a new year. And though I’m tempted by a white powder dip with gold detailing, I think I’ll save that one for warmer days to come. In the end, I fall for a rosegold metallic Shellac gel, warm and blushing peachy, with just enough sparkle to catch the eye. It glides on like a dream.

As for my newly nourished hair? Section by section, BD Stylist Leah gently dries and styles, subtly framing my face and revealing that her magic has worked. My hair is fuller and glowing with health, my natural colour seems deeper and more vibrant. Is that really me in the mirror? It’s certainly not the old me. My hair bouncing around my shoulders and my nails subtly shimmering, I feel lighter in body, mind, and spirit. As I step into the light of a hopefully brighter new year, I’m ready for whatever the future holds. And should I ever feel my shine start to fade, I know where to come.
