Yes, it is LFW but I had to take an (early) morning out to support my industry. This is the Nailympics at Olympia where competitors about 25 countries gather to compete with their nail skills, I was judging here from 7! (yes that is a bus there! It's the press office!) Off to Berardi and Richard Nicoll now.

Creating the perfect grey for the show! I've called it L'eau de Gris as it is 'under water' grey.

Sophia Neophitou for Berardi - ready to rock and roll!

Berardi girls loving their nails.

The nail team practicing the newly created colour for Revlon I've called. 'L'eau de Gris'.

Jourdan. What else can I say!

Stylist Natalie and make up artist Petros, nice and calm before the storm.
