Title: Stacey Dooley's Disco Shimmer Nails Are the Perfect Summer Update

Lychee nails, ballet blush nails, rose water nails – the natural manicure has been working overtime this summer, and while they do go with every outfit and any occasion, frankly, I'm over it. One celebrity in agreement? Stacey Dooley, who has curbed the pared-back trend for something with a little more personality. While the rest of Hollywood is embracing barely-there polish, the British presenter has added a little more oomph to her fingertips, debuting what I'm calling her 'disco shimmer nails'.

She's taken the chrome nail trend and made it considerably less futuristic with an easier technique we can all recreate at home. Think old-school silver polish rather than the ultra-reflective, mirror-like chrome effect we've come to know.

Instead, it appears that Stacey's gone back to basics with a metallic silver polish you and I can buy on the high street. Essie, you love to see us coming!

Now, we do understand that varnish doesn't have quite the staying power of gel, so there is risk of chipping after a week or so of wear. But, if you ask us, that's part of the appeal. A silver manicure is a commitment; a silver manicure that can be removed at your pleasure, in the comfort of your own home, is considerably less so. No soaking off, no salon appointment, no three-week relationship with your fingertips. Consider us sold! Stacey, we're coming for your talons.
