Accessorize Illusion Nail Polish £4.
Lauren says: Over black polish, this is amazing. But it was only a day and half before it needed retouching.

Dior Vernis in Czarina Gold £17.
Lauren says: Gorgeous colour and a pleasure to wear once I’d got the intensity right after two coats. Also looks good over black nail polish. Unfortunately, it chipped after three days – for the price I’d expect better.

Bourjois eye shadow #13 £5.99, from boots.com.
Lauren says: Such a beautiful colour – deep plum laced with gold sparkle – and ideal for Christmas parties. I ­really had to lay on the eye primer first – it’s very hard to build up.

Lancôme Hypnose Drama top coat £20.
Lauren says: This is the perfect ­mascara for top coats, and a festive metallic shimmer adds that extra special touch. Lots of product for your money, too.
