So glad we connected last week — and thank you for the s/o about Vamp! Another fave alternative is OPI Lincoln Park After Dark.

I am looking forward to reading Elle's book.

💅🏻🙌 (but Vamp!) - love reading about the different memories iconic beauty moments recall. And OPI, of course!! I was reading about that exact shade somewhere else this morning- thank you so much for mentioning it! XX

Rouge Noir forever. Am I the only one who does not think Amal looks old school glam? She used to. Her new look is Kardashian/generic insert-name-here influencer all the way. It is just so normalized that we no longer see it as what it is.

Ps and do let me know when you’ve done your nails! I’m trying to give mine a break, had ruined them with the acrylic experiment and gel, that’s for another post! XO

I’m on a mini nail break too. I was trying to work out the timing for my next vacay & thought a good opportunity to let them breathe. Altho I don’t like it gotta admit. I love ma gels 😆

Ahhhh same 🥹🙌, isn’t Jane wonderful?!! Now I’m looking forward to your Friday post with George & Brad - “faffing in Venice”?! I always slightly hold my breath watching the stars getting out of their water taxis, it’s a skill, while the 📸 pop away! 🫣🙈

I love that midi bob! Those autumn nail polishes are so pretty but don’t look so great on this “light summer” girl 😕 I usually stick to reds or grays for the fall. I hope you’re e

I love that style, too - and berry reds and neutrals for fall! 🙌 😍 (In fact, I can't wear the greys, they look flat on me but I love, love the look on others, so chic!) Thanks so much for sharing, I'll definitely be doing a full, new season nails report soon, with lots of options! XO

You are making me wish I could wear nail polish - but alas it just peals off within a day or two 😭

Oh, SAME!!!! And I'm doing a post about this, soon - my nails are the worst, and I think they do get more fragile post-menopause, too, which makes them more prone to peeling and such. Watch this space (and thank you for reading!! 🥰). XO

Amal Clooney's glow up is INSANE. That hair is the stuff of Vidal Sassoon hair dreams! Ugh. So gorgeous! 💖 Rouge Noir is on constant rotation-it's one of my fave nail colors! Right now, I'm using Sally Hansen's Color Therapy in Wine Therapy. It has a little gold shimmer which is perfect for fall. But the Chanel and Plant Power polishes look sooooo nice!

She's been looking amazing since she colored her hair. It's incredibly flattering on her! I need her image consultant.

Super post Jen! Those gorgeous nail polish shades, so perfect for Autumn - I am so looking forward to buying some. Also love the midi-bob, totally cool and looks easy to maintain and as for Elle Macpherson - iconic.💖🤗

Thank you so much, Fiona, that’s so kind - and I’m with you, finally giving in to the pull of the autumn polish colours (but also still wanting to hold onto summer! 😭 Resistance is futile!). I LOVE the midi-bob, too. 💇🏻‍♀️XO
