Denny's diary

There's nothing more ageing and uncomfortable than coarse, rough hands, so tempt clients with reviving winter hand treatments.

For instance, warm aromatherapy oils in a conditioning base-oil blend, massage well into the hands and nails and apply a nourishing hand cream before placing the hands in heated mitts, or warm towels. You could go retro and apply lavender-scented paraffin wax for an old-fashioned, yet super-effective, softening treatment.

Most importantly, advise clients on homecare to prevent the problem reoccurring, highlighting the use of manicure oil before bedtime and cotton gloves for deep conditioning. Remind them to apply a protective hand and nail cream daily - one with a sunscreen to help prevent age spots.

JADE'S JEWELS

I recently worked on a fabulous photoshoot with Jade Jagger for Instyle featuring the wicked Jezebel clothing and jewellery line. Sporting a naked moon with my new shade Daylight Robbery (deep blue grey) for a portrait shot, she was surrounded by all her gorgeous jewellery - stunning.

DOUBLE CELEBRATION

I also had a fantastic invitation to attend Company's 30th birthday party. The super stylish people behind the mag chose to celebrate in style by throwing a huge birthday bash at the uber-cool Proud Galleries in Camden, where I hung out with Big Brother twins Samantha and Amanda. We had a great time together.

IRISH WELCOME

If you visit Dublin, pop in to the gorgeously girly pink Leighton Denny nail bar in the new House of Fraser, Dundrum. Look out for Pamela Laird who is running the show - she's the lovely daughter of my Irish distributor and is now my trainer for Southern Ireland.
