Nails Of The Week - Nails Inc Franklin's Row

My Mum ordered some new polishes from Nails Inc, the first one that really caught my eye was Franklin's Row so I asked very nicely and she let me use it. It's a gorgeous purple with blue and pink micro glitter. It looks different depending on the lighting. Not quite a duochrome but almost.

With flash, this really highlights the blue shimmer.

Without flash, the blue shimmer is still noticeable but the purple base colour shows a lot more.

 This bottle shot really shows of the shimmer.

To be honest none of these pictures do it justice, it really needs to be seen in person. Definately a winner for me.

Nails Of The Week - Nails Inc The Mall & Kingly Street

I put The Mall on my nails yesterday evening and I have to say I really wasn't that impressed, in the bottle it looks like a purple with blue shimmer but on the nails it just looks blue and the shimmer doesn't really show at all! So I thought I would try and change it up a bit tonight in a french manicure style. My Mum picked up Kingly Street which is a gorgeous glittery silver so I put that, some tape and patience to the test this evening and came up with this...

I know its not perfect but for a first attempt at anything like this I am pretty happy! It's definately appropriate for the frosty weather we are having at the moment!

Nails Inc £10 Lucky Dip

I know a few people blogged about the nails inc £10 lucky dip offer when it was on but I just thought I would post what I got in the parcel.

I honestly can't believe how much I got for £10, the varnishes alone usually retail for £10.50!

The items I got were Sugar Icing, Summer Glow and Sloane Mews Polish, Soho Silk Base Coat, Fast Dry Spray & Sesame Oil Slick Pen. They also put in the Instyle Berry polish for free!

This really was such great value, its obvious the nail colours are the summer shades that they want to clear but still for £10 its great! I am really looking forward to trying the fast dry spray, sitting there waiting for polish to dry drives me mad!

Did anyone else order this, would be interested in seeing what other people got.

Nails Of The Week - Nails Inc Chesham Place & Nails Inc Review

It was so bright and sunny outside today that I had to put on a shimmery polish! I picked Nails Inc Chesham Place. Its a gorgeous blue shimmer that can look purple in certain lights. Mine has got really thick so its a bit of a pain to apply but worth it! This is 3 coats with Albert Bridge top coat. I put on 3 coats just to make sure the coverage was even!

Now onto the review, I know that Nails Inc gets mixed reviews, some people love it and some hate it. Personally I love them, they can be a bit hard to work with as the formulas are pretty thick and they dry really quickly but the colours are gorgeous. Most only need 2 coats and they last about a week before they start chipping. I took these pictures 8 days after I put this colour on, I am not kind to my nails, my job is office based so I spend all day typing so no matter what polish I use the tips always go first!

I have a pretty decent nail polish collection, loads of different brands from Barry M & No7 to OPI & China Glaze and I can honestly say that Nails Inc seem to have the best staying power out of all of them. Infact I find the worst one is OPI, I only ever seem to get a couple of days wear before it starts chipping!

So overall I would say that I highly recommend Nails Inc polishes. It does take a little while to get used to the technique of applying them as the formula is very different but once you get the hang of it the results are great!

Nails Of The Week - Nails Inc Kensington Palace

Hey!
So here are my nails for this week (I know I have missed a couple of weeks) this is Nails Inc Kensington Palace, its a gorgeous Green/Grey that has very subtle shimmer in it that is only really noticable in the sunlight so I have taken the picture outside! I didn't order this colour originally, I had picked a discontinued shade that was in the sale but it had already sold out so Nails Inc said I could pick any other colour for the same price! This is one of the shades from their new collection and I really do like it! This is two coats with Albert Bridge top coat.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! There are only 2 days left to enter my giveaway, so if you haven't entered yet please click here to do so!
