It's such a shame that the relationship between Leighton and QVC seemed to sour towards the end, and that meant that he completely left the scene. His were always the most stand-out nailcare shows. His passion and expertise shone through, his professionalism was second-to-none... and it was always mesmerising to watch him demonstrate the colours, with his lightening-quick painting. Nobody comes close. I also liked his sense of humour, and actually the fact that he took no nonsense from Alison Young and others.
I used to feel informed, entertained and sorely tempted during every hour he presided over.
