Okay so this one is definitely a perk of the job…a CHANEL manicure in new colour Jade, which goes on sale on 19th October (I’m told there is already a wait-list). Pics above, with added CC nail charm from nail supremo, Sophy Robson’s own bag of tricks. Although I’ve spent summer trying to recreate the green look with Barry M Mint, now I actually have Jade on my hands, I realise it was no match. This green is milky pistachio and very fresh looking against the residue of a summer tan. The ‘hand accessory’ was borrowed from a display in the room and much as I tried to make it fall off into my handbag, it just wouldn’t.

PS: Noticing my fingers look oddly curved in the picture taken on my phone, can reassure you that in real life, they are straight(ish).
