Summer Nails

As we step into Summer make sure your talons and tootsies are worthy of the exposure...

Luanne McLean





I have fell in love with this summery pale peach, 318 Peach Melba Nail Paint, £2.99 from Barry M it looked great on fingernails with two coats it lasted over 2 days before chipping, great especially on tanned skin




For a bold new look try W7 Limited Crackle in Black, £4.95 available from New Look stores or www.faithcosmetics.co.uk , slicked over an old favourite nail colour the cracked effect gives a unique appearance to every nail  and with two coats of colour and one of crackle polish on day 3 still no chips!

Just before the birth of baby Belle earlier this Summer we pinned down the presenter turned fashion designer for a chinwag about her style secrets…
Luanne Mclean

What are you doing right now?
Here in London  enjoying some Jammy Dodger biscuits whilst promoting my new summer fashion collection for www.very.co.uk
What are you wearing?
As I’m heavily pregnant I am addicted to leggings and I’ve teamed them with a Vintage smock.
What’s your make up bag essential?
Has to be mascara – I love Estee Lauder, I also love eyeliner and Laura Mercier concealer- excellent for covering blemishes.
Favourite skincare brand?
Murad- I use their Day and night creams and of course make-up wipes. I have very little time and don’t know what I did before these were around.
How do you pamper yourself?
I rarely get time to myself so when I do I love to take a bath with a magazine and light some candles and just have a moment to myself.
Favourite High Street store?
I don’t really shop on the high street, again it’s a time thing. I love online shopping especially now Fearne Cotton and I have our ranges for very.co.uk , I also love the range Denise Van Outen does on there too.
Last thing you bought?
Well being pregnant I had to buy new bigger knickers !
Favourite designer?
Diane Von Furstenberg and Vivienne Westwood as they both design well for women with curves.
Biggest fashion faux pas?
When I first  started working on TV on Saturday morning show Ministry of Mayhem I  experimented a lot and it didn’t always work. I now stick to classic shapes not follow trends- something like harem trousers may be fashionable now but wouldn’t suit me.
Favourite hair salon?
I love Nevilles in Belgravia.
