Well, we didn't see this one coming. In their bid to take over the high street (John lewis is SO much more than 'The Wedding List', you know), their beauty foray is gaining pace.

Own brand nail polish you say? Yes, please - anything we can pick up alongside our stationery and our bed linen is more than OK by us.

Or, you can stick the whole collection on the end of that gift list (don't tell the husband to be), and let your guests pay for your perpetually amazing nails – up to you…

John Lewis Colour, £7.50, launching in August nationwide in 12 shades.
