WITH the UK enduring numerous lockdowns over the past few months it’s safe to say that our beauty, and hair, regimes have suffered.
Salons and beauty parlours shut their doors, leaving people to cut their own hair, remove fake nails and do their own tans – sometimes with disastrous results.
Stacey Solomon shared her DIY beauty efforts on Instagram – which went very wrong
Even celebs aren’t immune to some dodgy lockdown looks, with Stacey Solomon sharing the results of a questionable home pedicure.
The mum-of-three took to Instagram to reveal her fake toe nail makeover, saying: “There was not ONE toenail to fit my massive weirdly shaped big toe. Neither wide enough or tall enough…
“Why is my big toe like this? The little ones are nice. What happened? It’s such a strange shape too!
“How do people pull off fake toenails?”

Another added: “Why does everyone look orange and like a cartoon?”
