Beauty Insider: The Brit Awards 2010 And Revlon
Revlon and nail technician Andrea Fullerton were backstage at the Brit Awards 2010 to deal with all the famous fingernails. We got some gossip fresh from the technician’s mouth!
“Florence Welch chose Revlon’s new Gray Suede (watch out for this hot almost nude grey-beige shade). I think she changed her mind from her original choice of Revlon Red as she wanted to set off her custom-made gold microphone! Gray Suede will be out in June so get your name down now – it’s the perfect suits-all shade to make nails look effortlessly groomed and bang on-trend. JLS also had a manicure with a tidy and buff before they hit the stage. Lady Gaga sent her team for a Revlon white on white, too. It has a fantastic full coverage for really impactful, statement nails.” Ga-ga-gorgeous! SB

Sex & The City Nail Colours: Which Nubar Shade Are You?
With the Sex And The City 2 release fast approaching, you can feel the excitement buzzing in the LOOK office. We aren’t afraid to admit that we are a little bit obsessed with anything SATC related and when we heard that Nubar were creating their very own Sex And The City nail colour collection, we couldn’t wait to get our mitts on the varnishes. Each group contains four colours, all relating to the girls' different characters. We’ve picked our faves from each – a funky orange for experimental Carrie Bradshaw, a sassy hot pink for sex-kitten Samantha, a muted mushroom for classic Miranda and a butter-wouldn’t-melt pink for innocent Charlotte. Which one will you choose? Nubar Sex & The City Nail Colour Collection, £8 each.

Call us crazy, but we feel a new nail trend coming on – acid yellow nails have never looked so hot. Team banana tips with your new sundress and sunnies. Think highlighter hues like Katy Perry and AnnaLynne McCord – any less bright and you’ll risk stepping into nail-staining territory. It’s certainly made our gloomy day feel sunny! KS

And at a quarter of the price, what’s not to love? Nothing, that’s what! Thanks for the season-appropriate tip-off, Paloma, we’ll be sporting our own Nail Rock Gold Lace nails tomorrow.
