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!

Now that the season has changed from cold, somber winter, to bright, breezy spring, it's also time to change up our manicures!
Ditch the navy blues and save the dark plums for next winter. This season is all about the neutral or bright nail!
If you're the type to wear a lot of colors, try out a beige or taupe tone to balance everything out. Or if you're all about the nudes and neutrals when it comes to getting dressed, add a spark of pep and brightness by trying a fun, saturated hue!
Here are the five must-have spring nail colors that you just have to try!
Beige/ Greige/ Taupe - It's clean, it's classic. A beige or taupe tone on nails elongates fingers and are versatile enough to go from day to night, jeans to dresses!
White - A stark white really pops, especially when worn with a tan! This color works best on shorter nails and it's bright, clean color is perfect for the sunny days ahead. White does stain easily, though, so apply a fresh coat every couple of days.
Bright Orange - This pop color is definitely the 'it' color of the season! It's popping up from purses to blazers, but if you're not ready to take the color full on yet, try it in a manicure. It adds just the right amount of color and goes perfectly with the color clash look spring, as well as compliments neutral tones perfectly!
Dove Grey/ Lavender - It's a soft tone with a sopisticated feel. Dove grey is a surprisingly versatile color while a touch more of purple in lavender hues makes for a more feminine appeal. Keep it shiny for full effect and apply a new top coat every couple of days!
Bright Cobalt - Need something with a little more pizazz? A bright blue is trendy and seasonal and is a great way to add color. Such a daring color makes a statement all on it's own, making it a cool color that goes with almost anything!
