Getting Under Heather Mills Nails: Co-ordinated Bras, Toe Jobs And a Newman
“WHO will colour coordinate my bras – The bizarre world of Heather Mills, by her manicurist.”
Says the Mail On Sunday:
“It was a request she could not refuse. But when manicurist Kerry Newman was summoned by Heather Mills-McCartney, her heart was in her mouth. What – and who – would she find at Heather’s £2 million beach-front home? The aggrieved single mother battling through the most prominent divorce case in British legal history, or a truculent diva whose temper is the stuff of legend?”
And you thought manicurists were just interested hands? But manicurists have ears. Manicurists have mouths. Kerry “spent six months tending to Heather’s nails – an experience, as she tells The Mail on Sunday, she is unlikely to forget.” This is her story.
Six months looking at Lady Heather’s hands may be something you’d try to forget. But Kerry has total recall. It’s a buff ‘n’ tell. Now read on…
Hanging Put With Nail Technicians
We join the action as Kerry is in café in Brighton.
“Inside, I overheard Heather Mills. She was with her daughter Beatrice and her security guard and she was really running Paul McCartney down, saying he was trying to poison Beatrice against her and declaring: “It’s all about the money for Paul.” I thought it was a bit bad her letting every Tom, Dick and Harry hear that.
Indeed. Says Kerry in the Mail on Sunday (redership 5.8 million adults and heaven knows how many impressionable kiddies): “It’s not the sort of thing you should want strangers to know. But I rang my partner Darren, told him about Heather being there and asked if he thought I should approach her with one of my business cards. He said: ‘Yeah, why not?’”
Says Kerry: “It might seem a bit strange to be so forward, but for my job you have to get the word out.”
Mail on Sunday readers who want to contact Kerry can get in touch with the paper, which produces her business card with the phone number blurred.
In a matter of weeks, Kerry was giving Heather a “gel overlay treatment” on her fingernails. “It’s like a French manicure, but the gel sets hard and doesn’t chip. A lot of celebrities have it.” Oh? “Depending on the treatment, I charge £35-£40. A couple of times Heather tipped me about £20, and other times £5.”
Heather asks Kerry for a pedicure. Says Kerry: “There were a few spare prosthetic legs on a chair.” If Kerry charges by the toe, she could yet make her fortune.
Toe Jobs And Bras
Says Kerry: “Heather is demanding and gives out orders, sometimes clicking her fingers, and she can be abrupt and grand”. Readers learn that’s Lady Mills once told her housekeeper: “Can you rearrange my bras in colour co-ordination?”
During our third appointment, Heather said: “Do you mind if we take a break so I can go with Ben to do some pelvic exercises?”
Her pelvis was smashed in the accident in which she lost her leg, so I said: “Oh, OK, fine.”
She said: “I won’t be long,” and suggested I went downstairs to make myself a cup of tea, which I did.
I could hear loads of laughing going on upstairs.
It didn’t really sound like they were doing the normal sort of pelvic exercises! I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a little fumble.
Indeed not. It’s hard to surprise a manicurist. They’ve seen some thing in their time. They can tell you, Nails, cuticles, calluses, the lot!…
