Perfect for any nail-girl is nuBAR’s Vineyard Collection. It’s not just that the product comes in a nice (gift!) kit full of eight great shades, from Corvina and Cabernet to Muscato, I adore that the polish went on cleanly. Dark is hard for DIY’er nail girls, and I appreciate anything about a product’s consistency and brush that helps the application. nuBAR is big on carcinogenic-free nail care products, so each polish in the nuBAR collection is free of formaldehyde, toluene, and phthalate. Don’t make me type that again.

New summer nail polish alert! It’s that time of the year when, apart from getting a great tan, we just want to try out as many nail shades as possible.

Nubar is a range of nail polishes which is brand new in the UK. It has been available stateside for a while and has already attracted quite a gang of celebrity fans - and what’s good enough for the likes of Mischa, Lindsay and Hayden is good enough for us!

Celebrity manicurist to the stars Jenna Hipp created the range to keep her famous client list in the most fashionable and on-trend colours. The range includes an impressive selection of shades (180 to be precise) - L-Lo swears by their Hot Pink, Eva Longoria loves Hot Yellow and the elleuk.com team have been fighting over the Hot Red shade for the last week, which is by the way a favourite of Scarlett, Jessica Alba and Mischa Barton, so we are definitely in fashionable company!

Not only are the shades to-die-for, the nail varnish is non-toxic containing no Formaldehyde, Toluene or Phthalate (DBP) which are not just bad for you, but bad for the environment too, making them perfect for the more eco-concious among you.

Nubar nail lacquer, £8 is exclusive to Selfridges nationwide.
