Meet Marian Newman aka THE Queen of Nails.

No, literally, the nail expert was recently awarded the British Empire Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to the beauty industry during Covid-19, and she knows so much about nails, she even launched an online diploma program last month!

Marian’s nail artistry has graced the tips of everyone from Kate Moss to Lady Gaga – she’s even written tomes showcasing her backstage-worthy, eye-popping manicures, along with technical textbooks on nail anatomy and salon safety.

Today, Marian joins us to chat about the budget hand cream that really works, along with the nail polishes that wear the longest without chipping. Then, find out why she believes that at-home UV gel manicures and those viral “burst” gel-polish removers are a massive “Don’t”.

Plus, Marian breaks down the *brand new*, crack-filling innovation from CND called Plexigel that's legit the biggest thing to hit the nails category since Shellac.
