Sali Hughes on beauty: get your feet sandal-ready with a summer makeover
My feet have been in sandals for weeks and were ready to strip by April. I maintain them by filing and moisturising all winter, but a salon appointment is justifiable, especially if you have been inattentive. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. Ask your pedicurist to use an e-file (a fine rotating electrical file) on rough heels, dry and jagged cuticles, and calloused toes. I always do this: the increase in smoothness is significant and can be maintained with DIY filing between appointments. For these intervals, I use the very effective Boots Hard Skin Remover (£3.59) with regular soap in my weekly bath, and Glowxie's Glass Foot File (£16.95; I like its palm-sized design, but any will do) for one session of dry filing between soaks. I never bother with at-home electrical devices. They're nowhere near as effective as either an e-file or a manual file, and are a complete waste of cash and plastic. I trim any dried, rough outer cuticles on either side of my toes (never on the nail bed itself) with Tweezerman Rockhard Cuticle Nipper (£30), and follow with whichever oil is handy – cuticle oil, or even something like kitchen cupboard avocado oil works perfectly. In summer, I still can't get behind pastels in my wardrobe or on my extremities. There's something too bridal and conservative about lilac, beige and mauve, at least for my taste and colouring (pale nails make my digits look like rolled mortadella). Sarah Jessica Parker shares my love of bold lacquer in hot weather. She's been wearing black, burgundy and dark emerald green on her fingers and toes throughout summer 2025, and has looked sensational. Personally, I've opted for navy, blood red and sludgy green, rarely matching hands and feet. Truly, I've never received as many compliments on my nail colour as I did when wearing Bio Sculpture's Thornbird (£15.50), a deep Barbour jacket khaki available in traditional and gel formats. I became so attached to my GI Joe fingers and their fanbase that I went into my next pedicure appointment a month later and got the exact same shade on my toes. To keep everything feeling soft and looking smooth in sandals, flip-flops and Birks, I sleep a few times a week in gel heel socks (£6.99 for three pairs from Amazon). No other product offers such long-lasting efficacy for the price. Apply a little body cream before bed, pull on the socks, and wake to marshmallow-soft feet. Just quell any coital ambitions during treatment.

The LED Mirror with Make-Up Brush Set (£5.99) is another one you won't want to miss, it includes two large kabuki brushes, three precise brushes and a rotatable touch sensor mirror.

Best beauty dupes Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard. *If you click on a link in this boxout we will earn affiliate revenue "A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it's no wonder there's millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok. "While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they're often lacking when it comes to the contents. "In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they're a dead-ringer for - and, trust me, they're the ones you want." REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn't have a mirror in the compact. REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties - although, E.l.f's is so popular it's just as hard to get hold of. REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury's is matte, the L'Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish - which actually makes it more comfortable if you're wearing all day. REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don't look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar - unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder's 60 options.
