Nicky Kinnard is the canny Belfast-born business mogul who has turned the love of beauty - what the short sighted would have previously seen as a frivolous preoccupation - into a highly successful multi-million making company. She provided the world with the uber luxury beauty emporium we all cannot live without – SpaceNK. Since opening the first SpaceNK store in London’s Covent Garden in 1993 – there are now over 60 stores in the UK and 19 in the States – the company’s philosophy has remained unchanged. It is still all about a carefully edited selection of high quality, original and effective beauty products from innovators and specialists around the world. A dream for any beauty aficionado. Nicky Kinnaird is TODAY'S BEAUTY INSIDER.
