The Times App for iPad


When the Apple iPad first came out I honestly thought it was just another gimmick for the filthy rich! After spending a day testing it for this commercial I was sold. I abhor touching newspapers so The Times app was perfect for me. Sliding through articles, clicking on videos, enlarging pictures...I was hooked!

Watching the commercial now, it's hard to believe I did all the movements on green screen!

Photographer Phil Sills and Malaya Jewellery




Collaborating with photographer Phil Sills was the perfect opportunity to use some gorgeous pieces from Malaya Jewellery, designed by my talented friend Sophie Butler. Phil was looking for a specific look for this shoot and Malaya Jewellery fitted the specification perfectly.
Nails done by me, colour is White on White by Revlon.

Still Life Photographer - D.Gill





The world of hand modelling can get a little strange sometimes. If a hand model isn't threatening to put a cigarette out on your hand then they're claiming to be Kate Moss' hand double! So it's refreshing to work with a photographer who actually appreciates that you're 'normal', whatever that means?! I guess it's relative.

I've worked with David Gill regularly over this last year. As a hand model you tend to go from job to job so it's a real pleasure and novelty to work frequently with the same people, especially ones who work hard and still have time to have a sense of humour. When I'm assigned a job with Mr Gill I always look forward to catching up with both David and Dave, his assistant (yes really!). Check out some of David's still photography that I captured at his studio.

Diageo

Here I am with hand models Kate Loustau and Chris Lanitis. My hand has the dark nails. I used Jessica's Reward as a basecoat and then Nails Inc Savile Row to contrast with Kate's pink.

GQ December issue OUT NOW!


Pandora Jewellery shoot for GQ features in the December issue - page 187. The Art Director decided on black nails for the feature. I used two coats of my 60 seconds Rimmel nail varnish in Black Out, also using Jessica's Quick Dry drops, finishing the nails off with Jessica's Brilliance - high gloss top coat. I never apply any nail colour without a basecoat on my nails first. In this case it was Jessica 's REWARD basecoat.
