Went to a professional nail technician and had a pedicure and french-polish which I'm highly delighted with.
Also in the photos are some wedge sandals with 3 1/2 inch heel I got from M&Co in their sale for only £10 (had to extend the ankle straps though).
Note to FF2: yes, I'm coming round to wedges
