Sunshine and bright colours go together. Jo knows this from painful personal experience, having once bought an entire new wardrobe while on holiday in Australia, but on getting it home, realised that in the gloom of a British winter she was dressed like Coco the Clown. Vibrant nail shades, in the same way, look best when the sun’s out. And they don’t come more hot, hot, hot than this selection of five shades from Models Own: off-the-scale bold and bright, and perfect for off-setting sun-gilded limbs.

Choose from Barrier Reef (a bright, opaque pink), Island Hop (neon pink), Beach Fire (intense amber), Surfs Up (a luminous coral) and Boat Party (a vivid orchid purple) – and to ensure the polish lasts, top with Models Own Hypergel Top Coat.

Will you be wearing these come November? Probably not – but at £4.99 you can absolultely afford to go wild.
