Today, I had a manicure with a choice of new season shades from Nubar. I chose Toga Purple, £8 which incidentally so did Sophie so it definitely has the ELLE Team seal of approval.

While my nails were being preened, I was introduced to Nubar’s newest addition: scented candles, £9.25 each. There are 10 scents to choose from, with beautiful blends from Pomegranate & Mint, Lemongrass and Black Tea & Cracked Pepper; but it was the Blackcurrant & Licquorice that really caught my attention. I’m not a big fan of either scent but they come together to create an aroma that I can’t seem to resist. I’ve been sitting at my desk absent-mindedly sniffing it all afternoon, I can’t wait to get home and light it.
