Thea Green Lundberg, a former fashion editor, founded Nails.Inc in 1999 after noticing a lack of convenient manicure services in the U.K. Despite having no prior beauty industry or business experience, she launched with a wide range of polishes and a nail bar, eventually expanding into major department stores and retailers like Sephora. Collaborations with celebrities and brands helped build awareness, and the company achieved its highest turnover in 2025, selling one nail polish every minute in the U.K. alone. Green sold Nails.Inc for $40 million in late 2024 but remains as chair, with the company's products now available in over 30 countries. AI
