Deal of the day: YSL La Laque nailvarnish

It might be April Fool’s day (at least it was until about an hour ago), but today’s deal of the day is no joke.

While we all love a new dress, sometimes accessories shout loudest, and this bright red nail varnish from Yves Saint Laurent is definitely calling out to us.

Gucci’s spring/summer 2011 show saw models with popping pillar box nails from make up supremo Pat McGrath, and if you want a burst of designer bright, you can echo this look with YSL‘s colourful collection.

We love YSL‘s La Laque for its chip-free varnishes which really go the distance, and we’re feeling inspired to channel a lazy afternoon in London referencing all its iconic reds – this hot spring shade should be worn now for an especially bright summer time lift.

The secret to making this scarlet shade work? Keep nails short and shapely – it’ll transform your talons from trashy to high fashion.
