Best of 2009: Green Nail Varnish
Green nail polish isn't just for Halloween and the Wicked Witch of the West anymore! It has become a mainstream colour that's taken off to the point of no return — and it's no wonder why. Back in September, Chanel first introduced Jade, a minty green varnish that created outrageous buzz from the moment it was seen on the Paris catwalk.
Trend Alert: Grey Nail Varnish
I first remember reading about grey nail polish about a year ago and I never thought it would actually catch on. At the time, silver was big on the scene, and the multitude of metallic variations were making their splash. However, it looks like lately, grey is the polish of the posh.

Halloween How To: Cat
Dressing up for Halloween is lots of fun, but let's face it, most of us don't want to look unattractive or scary for a night out. A witch's cat is a failsafe costume choice for flirty sex kittens and if you don't want to go all out like Heidi Klum did last year, then you can just create feline-like makeup and wear black leggings and boots.
If you're looking for something really easy to achieve, all you need to do is buy a cat mask and wear with dark purple-red lipstick.
Trend Alert: Going Orange
There's no getting away from the fact that orange is this season's hottest makeup shade. It's also the quickest, and quirkiest, way to inject some colour into your Summer beauty routine.
The orange trend all started with MAC's now cult lipstick, in Morange, (£11), Summer's most covetable shade.
Trend Alert: All That Glitters
At the Dior Spring/Summer Haute Couture show, John Galliano sent out a bevy of brightly dressed, models-as-society-beauties; all with eyes that were loaded with glitter.
Glitter on the eyes is nothing new, but what is different this season is a cabaret meets BoomBox-esque twist, where the glitter is piled on with abandon and spreads out from the eyes, down the cheeks, for a modern take on this starlet classic.
For a big night out, experiment with different coloured glitter – iridescent green and bright gold are hot right now, but bronze is a good starter colour.
Do You Wear Dramatic Make-up?
Dramatic make up often appears in photo shoots but how well does it translate to every day life? Highly pigmented eye make up is now widely available with the likes of Mac, Barry M and Nars all offering bright ranges.
It can look great if well applied and many celebrities try it out including Bat for Lashes and Alison Goldfrapp.
