Nails Inc Arrives At Sephora With Lacquers From London!

For some reason, American pop culture seems obsessed with our pals overseas. Maybe it's the sexy accents or the simple allure of the unfamiliar, but British TV hosts, singers, actors have taken over the airwaves and the big screen alike.


And the same can be said for our preferred beauty brands - namely nail polish lines! Edgy Illamasqua and the more demure Butter London have already made waves among beauty mavens in the USA, and now Brit-based Nails Inc. has touched down in Sephora stores all over the nation!


Boasting one of the most impressive varieties of hues and finishes we've ever seen (and that's saying a lot!) - from glossy cream shades to shiny metallics and high-impact glitter, it's tough not to be intrigued by what Nails Inc has to offer the makeup superstore!


Either way, if it's good enough to grace the hands of models strutting the catwalks during London Fashion Week and covers of high-fashion magazine covers - not to mention compete with Sephora and OPI's own nail polish line - it's definitely worth taking a gander!

Linea Pelle Chic Belts

Since the waist is a strategic place in the silhouette of a woman, the belt is certainly a girl's best ally, as Lauren Conrad (fashion designer and television personality) so aptly put it.


A belt can be used in a large variety of clothes - dresses, sweaters, baby doll shirts, coats and others. They create a waist in voluminous clothes that do not have any. The belt therefore creates the much-desired sensuous silhouette in any attire.


The biggest advantage of a belt is that it is very versatile. It completely changes the way a dress can appear. By simply changing a belt, one can wear a single dress in a different way several times. The belt is a key tool in creating one€™s own personal look.


The Linea Pelle Collection is certainly one of the best innovations that we have seen in recent years in the domain of the belt. For example, the Woven Medallion Waist Belt is a wide belt that is to be
worn quite high on the waist. Completely made of leather, this exquisite piece makes any dress into a full fashion statement. It is certainly the centre-piece of any attire.
