Looking expensive can be both costly and time-consuming.

But one relationship coach has revealed the five things that can instantly cheapen your appearance.

So, how many are you guilty of?

Paulina, who posts under the acronym @datingcoach.paulina, took to TikTok and shared a short video where she can be seen offering a quick run down of things to avoid.

In the clip, she begins by flashing up an image of long fake nails which are heavily embellished with diamonds, before noting that a “tacky manicure” is one to steer clear of.

And it turns out, it’s not good news if you don’t visit a hairdressers regularly.

According to Paulina, both “outgrown roots” and “split and dry hair ends” both have the ability to make you look cheap.

Hands up if you’ve ever left a hair tie on your wrist and completely forgotten about it?

Well, you’re definitely not alone.

But the relationship guru points out that this is a big mistake and should be avoided at all costs if you’re hoping to look classy.
