Gemma Collins enjoys pamper day and shows off purple talons in beauty transformation

Gemma Collins treated herself to a little pamper session ahead of her latest show this evening.

The former TOWIE star, 41, is currently touring the country with her one-woman show, The GC's Big Night Out, and the latest city to get a visit from the iconic blonde is Cardiff.

Hours before taking to the stage at St David's Hall, Cardiff tonight, Gemma called into a nearby nail salon and treated herself to a new set of acrylics.

The team at the Cardiff branch of Rawr Beauty - normally located within Primark or Next stores - were entrusted to transform The GC nails on Wednesday afternoon.

Sharing a snap of her nail technician to her 2.2million followers on her Instagram Stories, Gemma then went on to share a before shot of her talon pre-polish.

Clearly impressed with the final results, the Diva Forever star then gave her fans a close-up of her new bold manicure.

"Yeah baby, the nails are done," Gemma told her followers as she wiggled her fingers for a look at the nail technician's handy work.

"And you are incredible," she continued, talking directly to the Rawr Beauty employee. "I'm so happy and I just love this salon so much.

Gemma then went on to reveal the exact nail polish she was "drawn to" and shared the fact it turns out, the shade is called: "Positive vibes only".

The star then went on to promote her upcoming show - encouraging attendees to tag her in posts on social media.

The GC's Big Night Out is marketed as "a fun night out full of laughter and surprises" with the icon who has "become renowned for her hilarious one-liners, sassy attitude and, most importantly, memes".

Earlier this week, Gemma performed in London - where her 'shy' nephew was a VIP guest in the audience Troxy, London.

"I've got a very VIP guest tonight, my eldest nephew Caine, that you don't get to see very much," she told her fans as she panned the camera around to rarely-seen relative chatting on the phone, who gave a thumbs up.

Gemma continued: "He's so grown up, but he's a bit shy so he's not on the Gram much, but I am so happy he is here."

During her opening show in Manchester, Gemma let her fans in on her family plans with fiancé Rami Hawash.

"I want to try for my own baby but I think in August," the reality TV legend told fans at The Manchester Opera House last week.

"August is going to be the time cos I will get a little bit of downtime.

"Naomi Campbell had a baby at 51, so I’ve got a few years yet."

Gemma and Rami have enjoyed an on-off relationship over the past decade, at one point being briefly engaged to be married in 2013, but appear to have rekindled their romance for good after reuniting last year.
