Beauty Bible Loves... Leighton Denny Multidimensional Collection

Photos: ยฉ Jo Fairley

Leighton never, ever lets us down with his polishes. (And gosh, we go back a long way โ€“ to his very first salon in Harrods Urban Retreat, where we even hosted a Beauty Bible book launch, back in the day.)

Jo is especially fond of the iridescent, โ€˜fairy nailโ€™ shades from Leighton Denny (see some of our previous reviews here and here). Thereโ€™s actually something incredibly flattering about pearlised polishes: they have an effect akin to wearing pearls near the face โ€“ catching the eye. (In other words, if you have mature, gardenerโ€™s hands, like us, people will notice your lovely nails and not the less-than-smooth skin, or visible veinsโ€ฆ)

These are autumnโ€™s version: a trio of beautiful, refractive shades that would look great on fingers or toes (party season incoming, of course). The shades are GLOW โ€“ a khaki-taupe metallic, with a touch of pink shimmer, while DAZZLE is a luminous bronze โ€˜chromeโ€™ with what Leighton calls a โ€˜soft, molten glowโ€™ (spot-on). But our favourite is BLAZE, a warm metallic terracotta which morphs to an almost emerald green, when you move your fingers. (Or tap those toes.)

Our experience with all of Leightonโ€™s polishes is that they really go the distance.

And note: buying the trio in this way, you get three for less than the price of two polishes if you were buying individually.

Gleam on, we say.
