Pierre Hardy For NARS

NARS has collaborated with shoe designer Pierre Hardy on six fresh, summery nail polish duos inspired by his spring/summer 2013 collection.

We all know that clashing fingernails and toenails are far more chic than matching ones, and Hardy's duos comprise hues that offset each other just perfectly for spring. After all, if we are to bare our toes any time soon then they should really be prettily painted. The collection also includes two blush compacts, each overlaid with Hardy's signature cubic print.

And, best of all, each nail polish duo comes in a miniature shoe box with dust bag in a nod to Hardy's footwear packaging - eliciting that very same thrill when you open the box.

NARS Nail Polish Pairs priced at £22, Blush Palettes at £30. Available from May 1 at www.narscosmetics.co.uk.

Marc Jacobs' New Honey

MARC JACOBS is launching a brand new fragrance, Honey, this summer. Joining existing scents Daisy, Dot and Lola, the bottle is a reimagining of Jacobs' Dot design - with striped bee-like butterflies in the place of Dot's spotted ladybirds.

A sweet, floral scent with notes of green pear, mandarin, honeysuckle, peach, vanilla and - of course - honey, the new fragrance was created with perfume house Firmenich. A release from the fragrance's manufacturer Coty describes Honey as "the height of irresistible charm", thanks to its playful design and summery scent.

Honey will be available from this summer as an eau de parfum, shower gel and body lotion. The ad campaign will feature a hero shot of the bottle, rather than a celebrity or model face.
