Fashion: Art at your fingertips

Cutesy teddy bears at Meadham Kirchhoff, flakes of gold at Alexander McQueen and Egyptian hieroglyphs at Topshop Unique: this year, the spring shows really nailed nail art. So we say pay close attention to your talons and get the look at home with Topshop’s new varnish pens – the fine brush tip makes it easy to add your own details to your usual base colour, and they come in shades from graphic black to more playful silver, pink and blue. Get scribbling. £6.50 each, topshop.com
