We chat to Sheffield beauty expert Amy Sayles of Amy's Acrylics and Beauty...

What's your top beauty tip?
The best nail tip I've had so far has to be fixing a broken nail with a tea bag - it's a quick and easy fix! Apply a clear coat of polish, cut out a piece of tea bag to place over the break while the polish is still wet. Then apply another coat of clear polish, and when dry, buff with a file until smooth.

What beauty product can't you live without?
There are quite a few products I couldnt live without but if I had to choose one it would be my eyebrow pencil. Eyebrows are such a big part of the make-up industry now and they make such a huge statement.

What's the most common question brides ask you?
When brides have their nails done there is always hesitation on what colour to have - of course this is a big decision when a photographer is taking photos of the rings! A lot of brides like a nice simple French manicure, which you can never go wrong with, but recently brides have wanted the colour to match with the scheme of the wedding.

Women want a personal engagement ring not an expensive one

New research suggests a shift in how women approach one of the most traditional luxury jewellery purchases, with 75% saying they want an engagement ring to prioritise personal meaning over size or value. A study of 1,353 UK women carried out by 77 Diamonds* found that 75% say they would prioritise a personalised engagement ring over a larger or more expensive diamond. What seems to stand out is not a complete rejection of convention, but rather a rebalancing and reassessment of value. 59% of women say their preference still leans towards traditional ready-made ring designs, and only 11% want an entirely custom-made piece But the emotional drive behind preferences and purchasing decisions does appear to be changing with 30% expressing a desire for rings that carry additional meaning through small modifications, engravings or design adjustments.

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations. As weddings often involve early starts, long days, emotional highs, and late nights, rest is a more realistic priority than romance once newlyweds are in bed.
