SEPHORA by OPI: I judge a nail salon by one thing and one thing only: whether or not they carry OPI nail polish. Nobody does a nail better—the variety is amazing and their varnish does not tarnish. Sephora teamed up with OPI and these beautiful colors, nourishing hand treatments, and essential nail care products are the impressive outcome.

As the world leader in professional nail care, OPI is known by manicure mavens everywhere for its fashion-forward nail lacquers and clever shade names. In a highly anticipated beauty union, Sephora has partnered with OPI to create SEPHORA by OPI, a collection of nail colours, hand treatments, and nail care products by OPI, available exclusively at Sephora stores in the U.S. Now you can stock up on your must-have OPI nail colours while shopping for all your beauty essentials at the world's leading beauty authority—Sephora. With long-lasting, chip-resistant polishes free of DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde, in a spectrum of shades to suit your every mood and style, SEPHORA by OPI has arrived to lend you a hand, one perfectly manicured nail at a time.

GET THE LOOK: Most leading ladies rely on flowing waves to turn heads. But when you're Posh, all you need is a pair of heels and a tan. As if to challenge her own sexiness, Victoria Beckham morphed her glam bob into a slick men's style reminiscent of Cary Grant. Whether she stows an Ace comb and a cigar in her evening clutch remains to be seen. But she's just as smokin' hot as ever.

INSIDER TRICK: To keep your own mane chic with minimal effort (whether you have long or short hair), all you need is a flat iron and some gel. Straighten your strands, create a side part and comb a dollop of pomade mixed with gel through your hair, tucking it behind your ears if hair is long enough.

GET THE LOOK: Everything's coming up roses for Jessica Biel, who sported a vivid rose pout at the BFI Film Festival in London. The darker your skintone, the more pigment you can wear. If you have light skin, try either a deep color in a sheer formula or a light shade in an opaque lipstick.


INSIDER TRICK: Pink protocol: Biel wanted to wear a loud mouth, even though she has a light complexion. To make it work, she echoed the color on her cheeks and kept her eyes simple and nude.

GET THE LOOK: Amy Adams is lightening up—not that she was ever uptight. She traded in her signature auburn locks for light caramel strands. "People say you should go darker with your caramel hair color in spring, but that doesn't mean go to dark brown," says celebrity hair colorist George Papanikolas of Joico. Instead, if you're looking for a change, ask your colorist for a bright, but warm tone.

INSIDER TRICK: Make a desposit! Counteract the effects of sunlight and color-fading on light hair by rinsing with color-depositing shampoo, advises Papanikolas. "To get the best results, use it only once a week or add some to your regular shampoo to dilute the pigments," Papanikolas adds.
