Nails Inc Lexington Street

This is another of the polishes from the Paparazzi Collection I got from QVC earlier in the year.

I remember not being 100% sold about the colour of this one the first time I wore it but I must just not have been in the right mood as I really liked Lexington this time around.

Lexington Street is a dark purple base with flashes of dark green glitter through it.  It is a bit sheer and I did feel like I needed 3 coats of this one which is unusual for any Nails Inc polish.  The application was still good though, and with top coat it felt completely smooth, even with the glitter through it.

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

Thanks for looking <3 xx

a-england Avalon layered with Nails Inc Franklins Row

I have had Nails Inc Franklins Row for a while, I got it as part of the Paparazzi Collection on QVC.  I have only worn it once and did like it but thought the duochrome was stronger in the bottle than on the nail.  I could always see more of the blue and only hints of the purple, mostly due to the flecks through it, and it just wasn't as strong as I would have liked.

I decided to try layering to see if I could bring out more of the purple as I haven't actually tried this before with these kinds of colours and I was happy with the result to be honest.

My first 'go to' of purple polishes was a-england Avalon (which I have previously shown here), if any polish needed more purple, this would be the one to give it.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of Avalon, 1 of Franklins Row and 1 of the Shield.

The above pictures were all taken under my usual spotlight but there was a quick burst of sun just as I got home from work so I managed to snap a few hand shots which show the colour difference better.

I don't say this very often but I would suggest clicking on the pictures to get more detail to see the colour better.

I hope you enjoyed my first layering attempt and I will probably have another try shortly and any comments are welcome xx

Nails Inc Serpentine Road

Today I have for you Nails Inc Serpentine Road, I got this polish as part of the Paparazzi Collection on QVC but this colour is also available to buy on its own from Nails Inc.

Serpentine Road is a lovely bright blue, with the added plus that it is also metallic.

You could get away with one coat, but I prefer the depth of colour that two gives you so here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Serpentine Road and 1 of the Shield.

I will try and wear the rest of the Paparazzi collection shortly to show you as they are all pretty colours.
