£19 Shop
Shoppers are extending the life of their manicures this summer thanks to one long-wear, strengthening nail polish.
The £19 polish is being hailed as the product behind visibly healthier-looking nails, not only preventing them from chipping but also making nails harder and healthier.
Breathable and non-drying, over 100 users have left five-star reviews for the polish, with one writing: 'Has definitely improved my nails which were rather soft and splitting. But no longer! So happy.'
Priced at under £20, the Nailbery Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener is cheaper than a trip to the salon and could leave you with noticeably healthier nails.
If your nails are being put through the wringer and are looking flakey and brittle, then the £19 polish could be what you need ahead of the busy summer social season.
Going further than bog-standard nail strengtheners, the oxygenated polish actually harnesses Hexanal - a patented active that's proven to reduce nail fragility, brittleness and splitting.
As the brand states, you can wear the polish alone or underneath a Nailberry polish and use two coats twice weekly as an intense repair treatment.
'I used this as a base for the first time and it certainly made a difference to the appearance of the finish when I put my polish on,' wrote one impressed Nailberry user. 'And it also added extra life to the polish.'
Another agreed, adding: 'The best ever and I truly noticed a difference how well the nail enamel applies after looked much smoother and brighter. Lasted longer too and nails are in good condition!'.
Users of the Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener have also noted less chips or polish peels since using the polish.
Creating a flexible, breathable film that delivers polish adhesion to nails could be the secret to making your manicures last longer, thereby saving you money in the long run, too.

Novartis' Pluvicto shown to slow prostate cancer in earlier setting
FRANKFURT, June 2 (Reuters) - Novartis (NOVN.S), opens new tab said on Monday that its targeted radiotherapy Pluvicto was shown to slow progression of a certain type of prostate cancer, raising the prospect of treatment in an earlier disease stage for a drug technology that the drugmaker has pioneered. The Swiss drugmaker reported a late-stage trial showed a "clinically meaningful benefit" in progression-free survival with a positive trend in overall survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer that still responds to standard hormone therapy. Almost all of those patients ultimately progress to a form of cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy, a setting where Pluvicto is already approved, the company added. "These data suggest using (Pluvicto) in an earlier disease setting," Novartis said, adding that this could address a significant unmet need. Novartis only provided a brief summary of trial results and said details would be presented at a medical conference and that it would likely request regulatory approval for wider use in the second half of the year. Pluvicto is part of a class of drugs that combines cell-killing radioactive particles with molecules that attach themselves to tumours, where Novartis has a leading position. The drug saw first-quarter revenue gain 20% to $371 million.

'Our honeymoon money paid for my husband's funeral'
Two young widows who lost their husbands to heart conditions have launched a podcast about their Burr, 31, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, and Gabby Evans, 32, from Burnley, have previously campaigned to lower the age of NHS health Burr, whose husband died six months after their wedding, said the weekly podcast would deal with "raw emotions and real lives".She told the first episode: "I literally had to spend the money me and Ed had earmarked for a honeymoon on his funeral." Her husband fell ill on the day after their wedding in April 2024 and was diagnosed shortly afterwards with dilated cardiomyopathy, which inhibits blood died in October at the age of 32 while waiting for a heart Evans' partner Tom Brakewell, who was 34, died suddenly at home in January 2025 with an undiagnosed heart widows, who have never met in person, previously joined forces to launch an online petition to lower the age - currently 40 - at which the NHS starts to invite patients for full health screening. Mrs Burr said: "I fully believe if health checks were mandatory and Edward had gone for a health MOT between 25 and 30 his heart issue would have been flagged and he would still be here."The pair released The Podcast That Shouldn't Exist on the first episode, Mrs Burr told how she walked down the aisle at the wedding and the funeral to the same music, from her husband's favourite film series Lord Of The Evans described her fantasy that her partner would leap up and "jump scare" her at the chapel of rest.

‘People are welcoming' – Goal Diggers FC hold inclusive tournament as FA ban on trans women starts
On Sunday morning more than 100 players gathered in north London to compete in an inclusive women's football tournament to protest against the ban on transgender women in women's football on the day it came into effect. Last month the Football Association announced that trans women would no longer be able to compete in women's football as result of the supreme court's ruling on 16 April that the terms 'women' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refer only to biological women and biological sex. This is believed to affect 28 FA-registered trans women. Before the ban trans women had been able to play in the women's game if they agreed to meet certain criteria, including providing medical records showing their testosterone levels were below a specified level, records of hormone therapy and having a 'match observation' by an FA official, who would have 'ultimate discretion' on whether they could continue to play on a case-by-case basis. The FA said its previous policy was based on its aim of 'making football accessible to as many people as possible, operating within the law and international football policy defined by Uefa and Fifa' and was 'supported by expert legal advice'. It added: 'This is a complex subject and our position has always been that if there was a material change in law, science or the operation of the policy in grassroots football then we would review it and change it if necessary.' Goal Diggers FC, an inclusive London-based football club, brought together players from across London to play in a tournament aimed at showing solidarity with their trans players and protesting against the ban. The club previously acted against the announcement of the ban by organising a 12-mile walk from their training pitches in Haggerston Park to Wembley to deliver a petition to the FA opposing it. 'I'm aware that there are people in the FA that don't agree with the decision,' said Billie Sky, a trans player for Goal Diggers and London Galaxy. 'The FA reviewed its guidance [as late as] 11 April and they decided to keep trans women in. So anyone who's arguing that this is to protect women's safety in sport is misguided; they've done this because they have to politically. That guidance [for the decision on 11 April] was based on research from World Athletics and the IOC [International Olympic Committee] which showed that trans women's muscle mass reduces, among many other physiological factors. 'It would be nice to see the FA say something more substantial and support the people who have been a part of their organisation for a long time. A lot of trans women have stuck by the FA through not always the easiest times, there have been a lot of difficult cases with trans women and cis women being questioned over their gender identity.' Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Having won promotion with London Galaxy, who play in the eighth tier of the pyramid, Sky will no longer be able to play with the team – 'though I was on the bench a lot so that tells you something about how good I am compared to my cis teammates'. Sky added: 'In terms of my own experience as a trans woman, when I first came out I didn't know any of that and I wasn't sure whether I should be playing football but cis women welcomed me in, they're the ones that invited me to play at Goal Diggers and also my other team London Galaxy.' Paula Griffin, a trans goalkeeper for Goal Diggers, said the tournament on Sunday showed 'that the people who play the sport, the women or non-binary people who play football, are welcoming and accepting'. Griffin said: 'As trans women we play together with other women, we play alongside them, they're our teammates, they're our opponents, but more importantly, they're our friends. This tournament shows people that this community exists, is there for them too and will not be divided.' Tackling the argument that there are safety concerns over trans women competing in women's football, Griffin said: 'Football by its very nature is a contact sport. I've had some of my worst injuries, only a couple, against women. Everyone's conscious of injuries. Injuries will happen, and they're not going to stop happening because we banned 28 women from playing. Nothing is going to change on that front.' There are some, however, who have welcomed the ban. Jane Sullivan, from the Women's Rights Network, said: 'We welcome the FA's move to protect women's football, making it safe and fair for females. Women have suffered season-ending injuries, been disciplined for questioning the presence of males on the pitch, seen their places on teams taken by males and suffered horrendous levels of abuse for demanding female-only football. Males playing in women's teams also have access to female changing rooms and toilets, which is unlawful and a safeguarding risk for women and girls.' Fiona McAnena, the director of campaigns at the human rights charity Sex Matters, said: 'For every trans-identifying male player who dislikes this policy, there are dozens of female players who are relieved that they won't have to face them on the pitch any more.'
