We're a nation of nail-bar habitués thanks to recent talon trends – googly eyes, contrasting tips, matte effects and appliqué doo-dads have been all the rage.

But for those who are more lax about their grooming, a reprieve: take inspiration from House of Holland's "punk" manicures , where polish was hasty applied, smeared and chipped. To get the look yourself, paint as sloppily as you can. Or just wait until your fancy manicure wears off and looks a bit grotty.
