I love this combination of ornate gold and deep sexy purple for my nails. And the latest couture manicure finish gives my nails an edge I love.

An old timer for me, this serum does the job of adding shine, sculpting and weightlessly holding in place. A hair product that allows movement. Kerastase Nutritive Lumiere Nutri Sculpt , £17.90 at HQhair.com

Purple is the season hottest colour and this vibrant hue makes me smile.
