Niche beauty brand Champneys presents it's exciting new line of twenty shades of covetable nail varnishes, varying from a pearlescent pink to fiery red, electric blue and on trend truly glossy black. I found that when applied on my nails the varnish remained for 4-5 days without chipping!

Champneys,  a name associated with luxurious beauty, is in fact surprisingly affordable. The nail varnishes retail at £5.00 for a 10ml bottle. Do use them in conjunction with 'Base & Top Coat', which is truly a liquid nail wrap in a bottle!

I would also recommend the Manicure Miracle Scrub (£5.00) which exfoliates whilst being extremely gentle on the skin. Whilst Vitamiracle Rejeuvenating Hand & Nail Cream (£8.00), made friends comment on the shininess and suppleness of my previously tired looking skin.

For those who want the personal Champneys treatment you will have to venture as far as St Albans, as they are currently scouting for suitable London locations. You can however purchase the varnishes & associated scrubs and creams at www.champneys.com They will make super thoughtful Christmas presents!
