SESSION NAIL TECHNICIAN ANDREA FULERTON DISCOVERS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT

I took part in the Boots-sponsored '30 days of Fashion and Beauty' courtesy of Revlon, who I represent in the UK. Billed as the UK's biggest and most exciting style event, the 30 days saw magazine editors and top names from the world of fashion and beauty team-up with Boots for a dazzling celebration of all things stylish.

During September, the Boots-led collaboration launched a range of competitions, published interviews and carried out makeovers, while magazines packed their pages with insider secrets, top tips and advice.

Boots named me as one of the UK's 30 leading beauty experts, and I was featured in one of its web-based interviews on day 27.

I answered a number of nail-related questions and added some of my own. I also told everyone about my most embarrassing moments, well, some of them at least! I did this as I thought the interview was all me, me, me, so I wanted to add some humour and show that I am human.

LEARNING ON LINE

While demo'ing the fabulous Broadway stick-on nails, I met the beauty editor of OKmagazine.com and had a chat about how I came to be in the nail industry. She wanted to do an online feature - not about the industry in general, but all about little ole me! In true OK style, the finished article opened with a dramatic "celebrity to the stars" tag, followed by "having left school with one GCSE". Ouch! What a way to declare to one-and-all that I don't have much of an education. In fact it's an O-level, but that just shows my age...

Unfortunately, of the three headshots of celebrities the magazine featured, only one is actually in my portfolio - Nigella, but mine actually shows her nails.
