Pale and very interesting: Nicola Roberts at the launch of her new makeup range Dainty Doll at Harrods todayShe's always been the pale and interesting one in Girls Aloud - and now Nicola Roberts's face really is her fortune.
In fact, the glamorous redhead looked like a doll herself when she re-launched her Dainty Doll make-up line at Harrods in London earlier today.
Initially, Nicola launched a tiny selection of products in 2008 in conjunction with manufacturers Jelly Pong Pong, as part of the ITV2 show The Passions Of Girls Aloud
But Nicola has spent the past 18 months hard at work developing an entire range on her own, and its now going to be stocked in the prestigious hallowed make-up hall at Harrods.
Dainty Doll will then be rolled out to retailers across the whole of the UK.
Aged just 24, Nicola has helped design, formulate and launch the whole range - not bad going for the youngest in the girl group and a former shrinking violet.
Just peachy: Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts mixed casual and formal to wear a t-shirt with a peach maxi-shirt to launch her Dainty Doll make-up today at HarrodsThe Runcorn beauty - set to be the new face of legendary British designer Vivienne Westwood - is even rumoured to be going back to college to learn more about the cosmetics industry.
Nicola has literally bloomed since she ditched the fake tan and started to be comfortable in her own skin - and embrace being a true English Rose.
That lead to her interest in finding make-up that was suitable for the more ivory of skins that wouldn't look orange - and the idea to launch Dainty Doll.

Lipstick, powder and paint: The Dainty Doll make-up range has been the singer's labour of loveNicola explained: 'The reason behind me doing this is because I had a point of difference and that was because of the pale skin and it was something I obviously felt really passionate about.
'I was aware that there weren't many make up brands that catered for women for extra pale skin so I feel proud that I've been the person to do it.'
The Dainty Doll collection includes 10 different products in various shades and colours and ranges in price from £10 to £20.
Among the cheapest items on sale are the Eyeshadow base and eyeliner pencil at £10, with a skincare wizard Wonderbalm topping the price list at £20.
The Wonderbalm contains Vitamin E, mango seed oil and beeswax and can be used a moisturiser for any dry bits on the face of body.
No wonder Nicola's blushing with pride...
All of Girls Aloud are all currently doing their own thing while the band take a break.
As well as Nicola's brush with make-up, Cheryl Cole, 27, has her solo career and place on the judging panel of X Factor, Sarah Harding, 28, has her burgeoning acting career, Kimberley Walsh, 28, has a budding career as a television presenter and Nadine Coyle, 25, is also about to launch her debut solo album.
The band have previously said they will reunite one day and record together again - but there's no word on when as yet. Fans will certainly be made-up when they do...
