Body Beautiful – Three New Beauty Buys to Try This Week

Three of our favourite new beauty treats.

Rebecca McKnight

Velvet Texture and Patent Gloss Collections, RRP €8.95, Sally Hansen

Good old Sally, the tantastic best friend of every second Irish woman pre a night on the tiles. She also managed to completely nail it every time there’s a new talon trend.

The latest nail release from Sally Hansen is runway inspired and absolutely fabulous. A special effect polish is one of the simplest ways to turn up the volume on your beauty look, and we’re cracked for these textured finish finds.

First, to the Velvet Texture line. This polish creates a plush velvet look in three stylish shades; Velour, Lavish and Velveteen. There are no extra steps, powder etc required to get the luxe finish – just an innovative formulate that leaves you with attention-grabbing nails.

For a high-shine leather look finish, the Patent Gloss offers a slick finish the smoother lady will love. Available in four shades, it’s your time to shine in Vinyl, Chic, Moto and Slick.

Limited Edition Velvet Texture and Patent Gloss are available from selected pharmacies nationwide at a special price of €6.95, with normal RRP €8.95.
