The Perfume Shop is offering a great new range of perfumes to keep you smelling sweet this Autumn.

Making a new direction for the brand, the cut glass sensual shaped bottle in warm amber is fashioned on a closed orchid, and the fragrance is fronted by Eva Mendes.

Secret Obsession features top notes of Exotic Plum, Mace and Rose de Damas. Heart notes are Egyptian Jasmine, Orange Flower and Tuberose. And dry down is Sandalwood, Burnt Amber and Cashmere Wood.

Dolce & Gabbana have created the perfect signature scent for the independent woman. This sweet and glamorous fragrance oozes pure luxury and represents charisma and determination. The Perfume Shop also stocks the accompanying shower gel and body lotion, which hydrates the skin to leave it feeling supple as well as scented.

Sweet and juicy top notes of lychee blend beautifully with heart-notes of white Madonna lily, which is a symbol of purity and innocence. Dry ambery notes entwine with milky, warm vanilla to form the base.

Top notes are Lychee. This is followed by heart notes of White Madonna Lily. And base notes are Dry Ambery Notes, and Vanilla.

The heavy glass bottle encapsulates a flowing, golden liquid, representing the image of a powerful woman - strong minded and soft bodied. Crowned with a striking gold cap, it is designed to be adored and celebrated.

Humble Seaside Crab Could Hold the Answer to Split Nails

A New survey shows that 75% of women are unaware of the causes of nail damage. But a  small seaside crab could provide the much-needed antidote to the nation’s damaged nails.

Scientists at the UK nail company Nail-It! have discovered the humble crustacean’s shell has been hiding a secret which is now saving the state of our battered toe and finger nails.

The crab uses a substance called Chitosan to build and repair its shell. Scientists have now synthesised the chemical and it is being used to repair human nails.

The discovery has been made just in time. A new report from Derma UK, the makers of Nail-It!, has found three out of four women are unaware that using acetone-based nail varnish remover can damage their nails.

“We were amazed by the result of the survey,” says Phil Carroll, MD of Nail-It! “We polled our customer base and people making enquiries on our website www.nailit.org and discovered that three quarters of the women we questioned were in the dark about the effects of acetone on their nails.”

The majority of women in the UK buy non-acetone nail varnish remover but this can be up to three times as expensive.

One expert has issued a strong warning to nail varnish wearers: “Nail varnish remover contains harsh chemicals which can damage and split nails and should not be used more than twice a month,” says Debbie Flatt, beauty expert and lecturer at North West Kent College.

“Nails are a form of hair and just like the human skin and hair, they have a pH balance,” explains Debbie. “Acetone removes the natural oils from the keratin-filled nail plate, which can have a drying effect.

“Nails can become flaky and continued use of acetone could even lead to a fungal infection.”

Luckily help is at hand. Nail-It! is a DIY solution which uses Chitosan. Applying a thin film of the lacquer helps strengthen and stabilise nail structure and protect against damage caused by physical, chemical or microbiological agents.

“I’d like to think women were aware of the dangers of acetone nail varnish removers but the fact that they are still on the shelves is proof that they’re not,” adds Debbie. “I think people just buy them because they’re so cheap. But you really do get what you pay for.”

Debbie Flatt recommends applying a thin coat of Nail-It! before putting nail varnish on and then again after removing it to protect nails from the damage caused by acetone.

About Nail-It

Nail-It is a popular paint-on nail product, which helps to strengthen and stabilise the nail structure and protects nails, which have been damaged by physical, chemical or microbiological means including fungal nail infections.

Nail-it! lacquer is based on a product called Chitosan, which bonds to the keratin in the nail to stabilise, protect and level the nail-surface.
