Get ‘X Factor’-style nails

For those of you mourning the death of the weekend, cheer yourself up with a trip to London department store Liberty, where US home fragrance brand Thymes has just exclusively launched.

The brand has a huge celebrity following stateside - Rachel Bilson and Courtney Cox are both fans of the range — and the collection, which starts from just £9, includes candles, soaps, and a gorgeous selection of bath and body products in luxurious scents such as Agave nectar and Kimono Rose — the latter being Rachel Bilson's favourite.

And if you're still not sure what to put at the top of your own Christmas wish list, look no further than posh jewellery store Frost of London, where you can now place an order for the world's most expensive nail polish.

The Model's Own Gold Rush Couture polish comes in a diamond-studded bottle and has a cap crafted from a solid ingot of pure gold. Not surprisingly, the made-to-order polish comes with an equally impressive price tag - £83,000.

For something a little more wallet-friendly, the X Factor finalists could well prove a worthy source of inspiration. Since the series began, a team of OPI manicurists have been on hand to ensure the finalists' pinkies look nothing short of perfect.

On Saturday, Rebecca sported the fabulously bright Royal Raja Ruby while fans of the nude look should look to Katie, who wore a slick of Tickle My France-y on her talons. Get both for just £9.95 from beautybay.com.

Right, I'm off for a manicure!
