It seems March is a very popular month amongst the beauty pack. It nearly broke our hearts narrowing down the top 10, must-have beauty products, so we decided to go to 15! There's a magical Spring 2013 colour collection from Yves Saint Laurent that will blow your mind, some rich and vampy new lipsticks from Tom Ford, a power serum packed full of vitamins from Dermalogica, a natural skincare range from Nivea, and so much more. Phew! Credit cards at the ready...

Australia Day doesn't have to mean Southern Cross tattoos and the Aussie flag worn as a cape — it is possible to style it up right. Enter patriotic nail duos! If you want to keep your love for our sunburnt country a little low-key this week and right through into the weekend, why not go cobalt or navy blue with a red feature nail, or visa versa? Just remember to keep your talons short, neat and chic. Click through to see our favourite, perfect Australia Day nail polish pairs.

Call it whatever you like — taupe, greige, mushroom — but we've been big fans of this wear-with-anything shade for some time now. In fact when we wear it, it is the nail polish colour we get the most comments on. A bit more on the brown side of the colour spectrum rather than grey, greige can and will match anything you decide to wear and won't confuse your overall beauty look. It was a big hit on the red carpet recently, with celebrities including Marion Cotillard and Debra Messing rocking the non-committal hue. Click through to see 10 of our favourites.

Navy blue is having a moment. Every second Autumn/Winter '13 showing I attend has a sea of the classic hue (cue internal fist pump). Bella too has been bitten by the navy blue bug — expounding the appeal of an inky smoky eye, just this morning. We're far too impatient to wait until the weather turns cold to try out the trend, so we went through our Icon Kit files to find something a little more seasonally relevant. May we introduce ... Poppy Delevingne, wearing Louis Vuitton at the label's S/S '12 Paris fashion week show way back in October of last year. Still so good.

Seeing as though you've got your Christmas shopping organised early this year (or maybe you can just pretend), it's only fair you buy yourself something special for the festive season. There's some lovely new products on shelf this month, as well as some Summer saviours to help keep you looking beautiful throughout the warmer months. Let's roll!

If a loved one gave us a nail set or even just a new polish for Christmas, it's safe to say we'd be stoked with a capital S. There's no easier way to light up your life than with some neon nails or perhaps a little bit of glitter — so we're rounding up our favourites for you. And if you're hoping to get all of you festive shopping out of the way this weekend, don't forget to check out our other gift guides!

Summer is just around the corner, which, in beauty terms, means it's all about the brights. From bright lips on stars like Rihanna and Amber Heard in a gorgeous orange-red, to coloured shadows and liners, we're loving the return of colour. Keen to get in on the action? Why not let your nails do all the talking, and paint them a sunny yellow? There's a shade to suit everyone, from marigold to pastel to neon and back again. We've pulled out our five favourites, so all you need to do is click through the gallery and take your pick!
