Lauren Luke's best beauty buys: Vampy nails

Autograph nail polish £6.50, by Marks & Spencer . Lauren says Shiny, vibrant, with a good non-chip finish. ­Applies ­easily, although I had to use two coats. Very affordable, and I love the on-trend colour. ★★★★ Photograph: guardian.co.uk Bloom nail polish in Greta £7.83, superdrug.com. Lauren says Perfect colour of the ­moment, but I needed more than one coat and, once on, it took a long time to dry. Disappointing. ★★ Photograph: guardian.co.uk YSL La Laque in No 34 Black Tulip £15, available nationwide. Lauren says A luxurious-looking bottle. For best results, you need two coats, but don’t let that put you off – it dries super fast and doesn’t chip for ages. ★★★★★ Photograph: guardian.co.uk Ruby & Millie nail color in red 430P £9.50, boots.com. Lauren says Colour looks great in the bottle, but you do need two coats. Took a while to dry, but once set it lasted up to three days ­without chipping. ★★★ Photograph: guardian.co.uk Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Black Out £4.95, 01233 656366. Lauren says A favourite. It lives up to its Xtreme name – only needed one coat and stayed glossy and chip-free for days. ★★★★★ Photograph: guardian.co.uk Paul & Joe nail enamel 16 £9, asos.com . Lauren says Cute ­design, and looks great on the dressing table. Needed only one coat and it dried quickly. Excellent for a night out, though it chipped quite easily. ★★★★ Photograph: guardian.co.uk
