To help soften cuticles, soak your fingers in warm water for five minutes before you push them back. Remove smudges around your nail with an eyeliner brush or earbud soaked in nail-polish remover. Both are good for getting into those tight corners. To help nail polish bond to your nail, place cotton soaked with white wine vinegar on your nails. This removes any oils from the nails. Don’t shake your nail polish bottle. Rather roll it between your hands (as if rubbing them together). This prevents your application from having tiny bubbles. When painting shapes or designs, use a nail polish with a runny consistency. It’s easier to work with and dries faster. Polish with a thicker consistency works well if you want to drip it to create a marble…

SHE’S ALWAYS BUSY Q I’ve been in a two-year relationship with a lady I love very much, but she’s so busy. She works at a hospital and it’s very demanding so there’s little time for us. I’m the one who always texts to let her know I love and miss her. We don’t live together and don’t spend much time with each other – sometimes I must beg her to make time for me. I understand she’s busy but it bothers me that I’m always the one who makes the effort and when we talk about it she tells me to stop complaining. Last year she made time for a short holiday with a friend and told me our plans never work out. Now she wants to go away with…

PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MAR Mercury, cosmic scribe and messenger of the zodiac, goes retrograde in your sign this week. While this signifies possible communication problems, technological glitches, delays and mishaps, all isn’t woeful. It’s an opportune time to retreat, review, reflect and recharge. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 45, 41, 31, 35, 21, 5 ARIES 21 MAR – 19 APR As an Aries with a pioneering spirit you might like to be on the forefront of things. This week you may want to choose to take a back seat, though. It’s a good time to turn your focus inwards and to contemplate life, whether from a spiritual, philosophical or scientific perspective. You may therefore want to quit the rat race and spend some time alone. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 24, 27,…

IT’S a modern-day Cinderella story: a young woman who bootstrapped herself from an abusive relationship to stripping to reality TV fame to music stardom, winning over celebrity fans and pushing many boundaries along the way. Now Cardi B (26) has made history by becoming the first female solo artist to win a Grammy for best rap album – not bad for a “regular degular shmegular” girl from the Bronx who launched her music career just a little over three years ago. Meteoric is the best way to describe her rise up the ranks of rap royalty – although that road has been peppered with plenty of potholes. In the dog-eat-dog world of rap Cardi has been slut-shamed, branded talentless and called illiterate because of her Spanish accent. Haters even laid…

It’s been one of the most-talked about sports cases in a while: CASTER SEMENYA vs the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF), which has come about due to the IAAF’s new regulations for female classification that restrict the testosterone levels for athletes in the 400m, hurdles, 800m, 1 500m and combined events. Semenya is challenging the ruling in court, with the full backing of SA’s government. Sport minister TOKOZILE XASA says the government is going to spend R25 million defending Caster. “We have established a high-level panel consisting of the medical and legal workstreams respectively,” Xasa revealed. ‘OUR BEACON OF HOPE’ Banyana Banyana coach DESIREE ELLIS has thrown her weight behind our champion. “The campaign is not just about Caster Semenya but about other athletes facing the same issues,” she…

FAMOUS FRIENDS WE’RE guessing our invitation got lost in the post, and we’re really sad we didn’t get to go to MICHAEL B JORDAN’s 32nd birthday party. It was, in his own words, “lit”. The Creed star capped an amazing year with a party with an effortlessly cool guest list that included BEYONCÉ, JAY-Z, DRAKE, Meek Mill, Zendaya, Tyga, Amber Rose, Terrence J and many other celebs. “I can’t even lie, my birthday was kinda lit,” the actor wrote on an Insta post of himself with Drake. Next year, Mikey, you know where to find us! IT’S HER PARTY! IT’S hard to believe Jenny from the block will be turning the big 5-0 this year, but this triple-threat shows no signs of slowing down – to celebrate her milestone, JENNIFER…

IT WAS lovely to see people spoiling their partners rotten on Valentine’s Day. This is what romantic relationships need to remain healthy. It’s important to nurture your relationship because waiting for Valentine’s Day to get spoilt or spoil your partner is the reason you’ll become bored in a relationship. Doing something special and different for your partner at least every few months will make them feel loved. Your partner, who has been with you through good and bad times, is the one who deserves to be spoilt. SP MOFFAT, EMAIL THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300. Letters should be about 100 words.

VICIOUS rivalry, a brutal A firing, accusations of behind-the-scenes backstabbing and inappropriate sexual relationships . . . The secrets and scandals emerging from the set of one of South Africa’s most popular telenovelas is worthy of an award – but this drama is very much real. At the heart of it all is a veteran actress and an “Instagram influencer” new to the industry. And if the older star is to be believed, it’s because of the younger one that she’s been pushed out. But insiders say that’s not the full picture – the woman who has played Malefu Mokoena in 1Magic’s The River this past year could be entirely to blame for the situation she now finds herself in. “She’s difficult and rude,” one says bluntly. Yet this is…

A TRADE-IN is often more convenient than first selling your old car and then buying a new one. But your timing needs to be right – you should only trade in your old wheels when it makes financial sense to do so. Don’t be tempted to do a trade-in when your car is still brand-new even if you’re desperate for a smaller, more affordable model – you could just be shooting yourself in the foot. Here’s the best way to do it. 1 FIND OUT THE TRADE-IN VALUE It’s important to know this isn’t the same as the prices you see on cars on dealership floors or online selling portals. Those amounts usually include the dealership’s profit as well as the cost of any work the dealer had to do…

PAST TENSE BY LEE CHILD (BANTAM) R209* Prepare to be terrified out of your mind. I have to confess: at one point I had to put this book down because it was late at night and it was frightening me out of my wits. When a Canadian couple’s car breaks down they find themselves stranded at a motel in a remote part of Maine in the USA but soon it becomes clear the owners of the establishment have no intention of letting them leave. Although you don’t know what exactly awaits the pair it’s clear it’s going to be something awful. This is what keeps you turning the pages. Luckily Lee’s tough-as-nails hero, Jack Reacher, is in the area, but he’s a bit preoccupied with his own issues. Will he…

IT’S been seven months since his brother’s passing and he still misses him every day. At first he was too devastated to speak about the tragedy, hiding behind a wall of silence, but now he’s finally ready to confront his grief and he’s doing it the only way he knows – through music. DJ Citi Lyts (30) recently released a single called Cel’Ukuthi (Can I please), dedicated to his late brother, rapper ProKid, who was found dead in his girlfriend’s apartment in downtown Johannesburg last August. “Cel’Ukuthi is a party song, sort of like an after-tears celebration by artists who were influenced by big bro,” he tells DRUM. The song features up-and-coming rappers Touchline and Red Button, who were mentored by ProKid, and Gigi Lamayne, whom he discovered. Before Pro…

Kelly Khumalo called churchgoers “judgemental” in an Instagram video and her fans were shook. The video followed reports of the actress and Chad Da Don’s split. DRUM readers weighed in on the drama. Churchgoers are the biggest hypocrites on Earth! KRUGER YAMIE NYAMBALO Only God can judge us, nê? PRUDENCE MADZINZA Telling a person what they’re doing wrong isn’t judging them. Judging is when you say, don’t do this or you will go to hell. People don’t want to be guided or told what they’re doing wrong. This isn’t directed at Kelly but everyone who likes that phrase “don’t judge me”. BELIVIOUS BILLY VAN’KUBS Churchgoers and God-fearing people aren’t always the same people.

SHE’S hard to miss as she enters the restaurant. It’s not just her barely-there ruby pants turning heads – she’s also every bit as beautiful and bubbly as she is on TV. At 23, Ntando Duma is winning over fan after fan – especially after she recently returned to Rhythm City, reprising her role as feisty Zinzi Dandala in the e.tv show. Gqom Nation, the MTV show she presents on DStv channel 322, has been renewed for a second season after its successful launch last year. Admirers are in for a double dose of fun as she’ll co-host the music show with gqom powerhouse Busiswa Gqulu. This season, filmed in KwaZulu-Natal – where gqom was birthed – will be even more entertaining now Busiswa is on board, Ntando promises. “She’s…

THEY say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and the same can be said of your in-laws. Entrepreneur and foodie Mogau Seshoene started The Lazy Makoti as a series of cooking lessons for a friend and bride-to-be who was helpless in the kitchen. From this grew cooking classes for young Afropolitans and later a cookbook, The Lazy Makoti’s Guide to the Kitchen, which shows you how to easily make traditional dishes.

WHITE & GOLD Even though it’s a neutral colour, white packs a punch when it’s on your nails. Go for a white and gold French manicure – with a touch of black – if you want a glam look. Use French manicure stickers if you’re new to nail art. PINK & SILVER Instead of neat French tips, try an ultra-trendy fade. For a base, paint your nails silver. Then use a sponge to blot pink polish on the tips to create the ombre effect. BLACK, WHITE & RED Classic monochrome polka dots with a splash of bold colour is sure to turn heads. Paint most of your nails black and wait for them to dry. Then add white dots by using a tooth pick. Paint one or two of your…

Do have a chat with your child before the friend arrives, educational psychologist Carina van Vuuren says. “Decide together if you want to pack away certain toys your child doesn’t want to share with others. Talk about how they can make the friend feel special and what snacks your child can offer them, and when.” Don’t constantly suggest games and activities, clinical psychologist Naomi van Wyk says. “Remember, kids learn by playing and if you organise and manage everything they’re not learning to do so themselves. “Leave them to it for as long as possible – sometimes kids need to be bored to spark their creativity and come up with things to do. That’s how they learn.” Do give them a chance to sort out conflict by themselves first, but…

MODEL HUSBAND Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company’s Christmas party. He’s not normally a drinker, but the drinks hadn’t tasted like alcohol at all. He doesn’t even remember how he got home and wonders if he did anything wrong. Jack has to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And beside them is a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees the clothes he wore last night all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it’s in perfect order, spotlessly clean. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom…

Since the ’80s police around the globe have been using the automated fingerprint identification system (Afis) to quickly and efficiently compare fingerprints with millions of fingerprint records worldwide. Afis uses digital imaging technology to collect fingerprints and then computer software searches the databases for a matching pattern. The FBI’s Afis is known as IAFIS (integrated automated fingerprint identification system). It was created in 1999 and has since been upgraded to the NGI (next generation identification). By 2018 the NGI had records of 135 million criminals and civilians’ fingerprints.…

HE’S Tottenham Hot-spur’s secret weapon: a fleet-footed forward who’s scored 11 goals in the past 12 games and helped his team reach the knockout phase of Europe’s most elite competition. Son Heung-min’s latest bit of brilliance was on display during Spurs’ resounding 3-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Uefa Champions League. He found the net just after halftime and then paved the way for Jan Vertonghen to sweep in the second goal. Fernando Llorente sealed the win in the 86th minute and manager Mauricio Pochettino was quick to hail his heroes – especially the spectacular Son. ‘It’s true I’m in great form’ “Next time Son scores I will go to the dressing room, have a shower and wait for the game to finish,” Pochettino joked after the match. “He…

BABY BOOM SHE was scheduled for a C-section but Madiba’s granddaughter ZOLEKA MANDELA ended up giving birth six days earlier than planned when daughter ZENZILE decided to make a surprise appearance! “I woke up this morning and got up before everyone else to attend to the house – I was trying to pack last night’s clean dishes when my water broke!! I was in labour for close to 5hrs before Mr Bashala and I birthed our daughter,” she wrote on Instagram.

It’s the fifth child for Zoleka, and the second for her and hubby Thierry…
