Nails Inc A/W Collection - Layered (including Polish Me Silly, Glitzology, Silly Lily and Serum No5)

I previously shown you the Nails Inc Autumn Winter collection, which is a set of 4 great creme polishes.  But when I see creme I always see laying potential...

So here are all 4 of the Nails Inc A/W polishes layered with a glitter.

Firstly we have Polish Me Silly (formerly Lush Lacquer - which is what is still on my bottle) Snow Globe over Bond Street.

Then we have Glitzology Crown Royal over Nails Inc St Martins Lane,

Now we have Silly Lily Holy Holo over Oxford Lane.

And lastly we have Serum No5 Happy Special Day over Regent Street.

Nails Inc Polishes can be purchased from the official site in the UK.

Polish Me Silly (formerly Lush Lacquer) can be purchased on Etsy.

I purchased my Glitzology polishes on Etsy but it seems the store no longer exists... which is a shame if she is no longer making polishes as I have some great ones here still to show you!

Silly Lily Polishes are also sold on Etsy. 

And I got my Serum No5 from a UK store that was opened a few months ago called the Nail Arcade which is no longer around but here is a list of the site for their current stockists.

Thanks for looking and I would love to hear what your favourite of these combos are!

Nails Inc Autumn Winter Collection

Today I have for you swatches of the Nails Inc Autumn Winter 2012.

This collection consists of 6 mini polishes that are all perfect for the upcoming season.

All swatches are with 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

First we have Sloane Gardens - unique navy glitter.

Chester Street - unique pearl

Bruton Mews - deep forest green

Richmond Terrace - deep forest plum

Jerymn Street - classic taupe

Chelsea Bridge Road - tomato red

I really liked all of the polishes in this collection, but obviously the blue glitter was a stand out for me.

These polishes will be out a lot over the Autumn season I'd imagine and you can purchase this set from the official Nails Inc site.

Miners Autumn Winter Collection

Today I have for you the Autumn Winter collection from Miners Cosmetics.

There are 5 pieces in this collection, 4 'City Inspired' shades - Bangkok Blues, London's Calling, Fairytale of New York and Weekend in Paris - which are new for this collection and another polish which is Milers 'winter favourite' Plum. I loved the look of this collection when I got it, the polishes all have very jewel like tones to them.

The blue (Bangkok) and the green (New York) appealed to me most.  The neutral colour (London) and the two pink/red colours (Paris and Plum) are lovely colours but not ones that would jump out at me normally.

Application was great for all 5 of these, the polish went on smooth were opaque in 2 coats.  All pictures are with 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Firstly I will show you Bangkok Blues, which is a lovely navy colour, which of course meant it was the first one I tried.

Next we have London's Calling, which is a mushroom colour.

Then we have Fairytale of New York, a forest green colour.

Now we have Weekend is Paris, which is a pinkish red colour.

And lastly we have Plum, which is actually more of a deep pink on the nail.

All in all, I am very happy with this collection, the standout shades are the blue and green for sure, and I actually really liked the mushroom on me, although I wouldn't normally go for this type of shade.  The other 2 are lovely colours and suit this collection well, but as I have ones similar to these already in my stash it probably means these will get used less.

Miners polishes can be bought from their website  and costs £2.99 for 9mls.

Andrea Fulerton Annie

This is the last Andrea Fulerton polish I have to show you from the Metallic Magic Autumn Winter collection, well for now anyway.

This polish is called Annie and is a pure icy silver polish with silver micro glitter through it.  It also had great coverage with 2 coats and application was easy and smooth.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Continuing the theme of this collection I wanted to try some nail art, and this idea seemed simple and made use of the 'dot' part of the 'dot and flick' tool in the shade Judy. The dot part of this tool was very easy to use and allowed the spots to remain about the same size each time as the polish flowed quite well through the tool.

I hope you have had a much fun looking at my art with this collection as I had trying them out for you.  Again the polish is £4.99 and the 'dot and flick' tool is £3.99

Andrea Fulerton Cat

Today I have for you another polish from the Andrea Fullerton Metallic Magic Autumn Winter collection, Cat.

Cat is another icy shimmer colour but in gold with micro glitter in silver and possibly lighter gold too, but this may just be how the light catches it.

Again coverage was good and application was easy, I was able to get full coverage with this polish in two coats, and these were just usual coats, not any thicker than I usually do.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Now I felt I wanted to try some art with this mani too, but wanted to try something simple but also pretty, and I was really happy with how it turned out.

I used another of the strips from the Nail Tattoo 'Chains' sheet.  I really like this different designs on this sheet and am sure I will be using them for a few different occasions.

Here is the above mani with some Chains and another coat of the Shield.

I managed to get a close up for you to show the chain detail as even though it isn't raised up that much from the actual nail but has a great 3D effect to it.

Again the polish can be bought from Amazon or Superdrug for £4.99 and the Nail Tattoos for £1.99.

I hope you enjoyed looking at this as much as I enjoyed wearing it.

Andrea Fulerton Kylie

Today I have for you Kylie from the Andrea Fulerton Metallic Magic Autumn Winter collection.  I have 3 polishes from this collection to show you but have planned a separate post for each.

Kylie is an icy silver shimmer with hints of lilac, it also has micro glitter running through it in pink and silver.

Application of this polish was smooth and easy and coverage was opaque in 3 coats, if I had done a slightly thicker second coat I could have probably stopped there, but as I normally do quite thinish coats, there was slight nail line still visible after the second but this was eliminated with the third coat.  This polish, even with the glitter through it, was smooth without top coat.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

When I got these polishes, I also got an Andrea Fulerton Nail Art 'Dot and Flick' dual tool in Judy (black) and some Andrea Fulerton Nail Tattoos, and the one I will show you is called 'Chains'.

Now, I am not very good with the nail art, I normally stick to basic polish or layering, sometime a tape mani but freehand is not my strong point, but I thought I would give it a try.

Saying that, I found the 'Dot and Flick' Pen very easy to use, it has two parts, a pull off lid with the dotter and a screw lid with the striper tool.  I was able to use the striper with ease and found it distributed the polish evenly and in straight lines without needing too much coaxing.

The Nail Tattoos were also very easy to apply, they are self adhesive so do not require glue, I just lifted the strip from the sheet with tweezers and placed on the nail and then used a pair of nail scissors to trim the excess.

Here is the above mani with the 'Flick' part of the tool to do the lines and one of the 'Chain' tattoos inbetween the two lines.  I also added another coat of the Shield to this to seal the design.

Andrea Fulerton polishes and art tools can be bought from Superdrug or Amazon.  The polish is 5.5ml and costs £4.99, the Dot and Flick tool is 6ml and costs £3.99 and the sheet of Nail tattoos costs £1.99.

I hope you like this and thank you for looking <3
