This month I'm going to look at nail colour trends for Autumn/Winter 2018/19:
Length - before we leap into colours, just a tiny bit about length. The trend seems to have moved to either shorter squarer or medium length oval shaped. So no agonising if you can't grow your nails super long!
It’s important to keep your mind and body hydrated all year round. Check out my tips to make it easier:
Water - yep - I know I said last time, but really this cannot be said enough! Please make sure you drink enough - in the heat, you should be drinking at least 3 litres per day. I know it's a tall order, but your brain and your body will thank you.
Of course, it's important to look after yourself all year round. But, in the Summer, we often forget things like moisturising, because we are not so conscious of the drying effects, usually associated with wind and central heating.

So what's on trend for Spring/Summer 2018 in the world of nails?
Length - as usual there is an element of anything goes - short but nicely shaped is still a classic and works, but I do see a lot of longer nails now - both the always on trend oval, and the more "Fifty Shades" pointed stiletto nails.

This month, I'm going to look at the latest nail fashions and how to adopt them:
For what's on trend, usually the beauty editors take a look at what the catwalk models are wearing during the popular fashion weeks. So, what did they see for Winter 2017/18?

But you do need to relax, so, here are some tips I hope you'll find helpful:
Firstly, what do we mean by mature skin? If you speak to most of the skincare companies and cosmetic houses, they will tell you 35-40. Yes, I know that seems way too young to me too, but you can't start too early when it comes to looking after your skin.
So, here are my top tips for looking after your skin...
Eyes really do need tender loving care. The eye itself is very delicate, but so is the skin surrounding it. It is very thin, so only needs the lightest touch - no dragging.
