Bryony’s Nail Expert Tip

Did you know that using a glitter base nail varnish, topcoat or glittery nail gel can last longer and your nails are harder when it is on? The glitter forms a foundation on the nail creating strength. It can be harder to remove so use a good quality remover like Bio Sculpture which gets it off in no time! Stocking filler: “Please Shake My Bits Before You Spritz!” - £18 (100ml) The Elim Rejuvenating Gold Spritz will complete your skincare regime with a glamorous and shimmery look!
