daring to bare my legs this weekend and am wondering does anyone know any products that create the kind of look Nadine Coyle has on her legs? they're kind of shiny and dare i say 'healthy looking', if that makes sense! cheers

Pretty Polly ( the tights makers ) make make-up for legs I think that there's leg shimmer in the range.

I saw them in a local boutuique that stock the tights so I'd say anywhere that has the tights has the make-up...

Benfit do this stuff called Hollywood glow, its an all over body shimmer makes your legs look amazing if you have a tan
The Hollywood glow has a tanish tint to it

Or you can get Bathina, which has no tint just the shimmer

Baby oil works brillaint, not too much tho!

Pigletlover

+1 for baby oil, apply to wet skin after shower/bath so you don't end up too greasy looking. Looks best over a tan.

Any kind of baby oil!? never thought of using it! suppose it's used sparingly to avoid the body builder look! saw some product that looks like tights on tv a while back, think it was by agent provocateur but i'm looking for something inexpensive! :rolleyes:

Pigletlover

Yep any baby oil, I'd recommend Johnson's, the original one with the pink top because it smells the nicest, but any would do.

+1 on baby oil. I remember there was a Johnson's Baby Oil mousse available years ago. Don't know whether it still is or not but I used use it and it gave my legs a gorgeous sheen and was non greasy. Hmmm... can't remember why I stopped using it. Probably just stopped thinking of buying it as winter arrived. A google indicates it's still available.

Hey, I always make sure I give my legs a good exfoliating first too

thanks for all those replies, just picked up a bottle of baby oil, it's Boots brand but suppose it's all the same thing! i'll give it a try out later so i know what i'm at at the weekend!

Boots sell this range called Soap and Glory, ya prob know it from its packaging, but they sell this dry oil spray, looks deadly anywhere on the body and smells delish!http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=27862&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

Scuse my ignorance...but if you apply it to wet skin then do you dry off with a towel after??

I just let it dry in, I tend to use it all over when my skin gets dry during the winter, have'nt found anything that'll replenish the skin like it. I simply get out of the shower, wrap a towel around my hair and apply baby oil everywhere else, no towel needed. Give yourself around 15 minutes before puttin any clothes on and the majority of it should be soaked in at that stage.

Be careful with how much you put on, a little bit of oil goes a long way

No I just dry off 'naturally', after rubbing in the baby oil it only takes a couple of minutes for your skin to to dry off.

Got ya...thanks for the tip...bring on the weekend and the baby oil and the shiny legs

Baby oil mousse you say?
Wow. I'm off to look for that! I always find the oil a little too greasy but the mousse sounds like it might be just the thing.

Here it is: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Johnson_s_Baby_Oil_Mousse__5111918

I presume it's still available here. It's a long time since I used it. But yeah, I found it great. I'm the same - I dislike the greasiness of the oil but this gives only a very slight oily finish, just enough for a sheen on the skin.

If you like using Lush products, try Buffy. It'll exfoliate with the ground almond shells but also leave a light coating of cocoa butter on the skin. You'll smell yummy and have lovely, shiny, moisturised skin!

Pigletlover

There's a baby oil gel that's good too, forgot about it until I seen it in Boots yesterday.
