Product Review: Butter London HRH Nail Polish
Butter London is one of those beauty brands that is fast becoming cult property. Although the company is actually based in Seattle, it offers a thoroughly British experience with quirky names such as Old Blighty and Chimney Sweep. Their creative director, Nonie Creme has worked on numerous A-list nails, including Kate Moss, as well as creating looks on campaigns for Vogue, H&M, and Jimmy Choo.
Trend Alert: Alternative Nails
First it was chipped nail polish, then the dark black shades of Goth Glam, and now alternate shades of nail varnish on fingernails is being tipped (ahem, excuse the pun) to be the latest trend.
Model Jodie Kidd and pop star Christina Milian have both been spotted mixing it up, lately. Christina has been contrasting very dark and pale colours together as well as different shades of brights.
Trend Alert: Goth Glam
This season we're descending to the dark side for inspiration.
Chanel sent out grunge goths with washed-out skin and matted hair, whilst the Yves Saint Laurent models had blood-bitten, black or burgendy stained lips and Viktor & Rolf's girls sported almost cartoonish black ringed eyes.
This is a far cry from the teenage goth looks of yore.

Exclusive! Lancôme and the 2010 Orange BAFTA Awards
This year marks the tenth anniversary between the Orange BAFTA Awards and Lancôme, and this year, I was lucky enough again to be invited to the Dorchester Hotel where they hosted a suite. Inside, I spoke with lead makeup artist Armand Beasley about his trend forecast for the show, I checked out some of the brand's newest launches, learnt a trick or two about applying false lashes, and got a lesson on how to create perfect brows (but more on that later)!
For now, one of the most exciting products available is a Swarovski encrusted BAFTA cheek palette (£45).
