Berry Hues: Thank Glogg It’s Friday, £11.50, O.P.I
Part of O.P.I’s new season Nordic collection, this wine-red hue is a classic take on the berry trend. And with an O.P.I polish, you’re a long-lasting and chip-resistant set of nails.


Berry Hues: 609, £18, Chanel
This Le Vervins Nail Colour dries quickly (a bonus for busy mums) and lasts, too. It even features a non-spill bottle so disaster will be averted if your baby manages to get hold of it.


Berry Hues: Sensationail Gel Starter Kit In Raspberry, £69.99, Boots
One for the Christmas wish list, this kit is a brilliant way to have salon-quality nails at home – that last for at least two weeks. There are 10 gel polish applications included as well a gel cleanser, primer, top coat and LED lamp.


Jewelled Tones: HRH, £12, Butter London
Super easy to apply, this regal shade was seen all over the catwalks. For the best colour, add two coats and once the colour’s almost dry, run your nails under cold water to help them fully set.


Jewelled Tones: Green Garnet Luxe, £12, Rococo
Part of Rococo’s Christmas 2014 spellbound collection, we love this magical emerald shade. It’s very Wizard of Oz and perfect for the party season. For best childproof results, use after a basecoat and apply two coats of the polish.


Jewelled Tones: Eternity, £7.25, Toma
Rock the jewelled colour trend with this slightly shimmering ocean blue polish. It has a longer-than-usual brush for better coverage and a superior shine finish.


Soft Neutrals: Lili, £18.50, Dior
You can’t go wrong with a natural shade like this one – particularly if you’re planning to keep it on for a while and want it to work with all manner of outfits. This new Dior polish has an ultra-shiny and gel-finish that will look like you’ve just stepped out of the salon – even if you’ve just arrived home from the nursery run.


Soft Neutrals: Classy Nude, £8, House of Holland Nails by Elegant Touch
Including a nail file and glue, we love the ease of this House of Holland stick-on nail set and it’s a mum-friendly way to work the two-tone nail art trend – with no polish (or remover) required!


Soft Neutrals: Pure, £13.50, Nailberry
Resistant and quick-drying, this Nailberry polish glides on effortlessly and has a high pigmentation so you can get that snow-white shade in just one or two layers.
