Nails Inc Glitterati Collection

I have for you today the Nails Inc Glitterati collection, which is a set of 3 glitter polishes, and you would be sure to have party ready nails with these.

First here is Hatton Garden, which is described on the Nails Inc website as a classic silver glitter, but it is much more than that, it is a silver holo glitter and contains large and small glitter particles in a clear base.

Hatton Garden was opaque in two coats but due to the large glitter pieces, it was not completely smooth after 1 coat of top coat, it wasn't gritty, just bumpy.  Application was good on this polish, the two coats were done as normal and did not require the glitter to be repositioned for even coverage.

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

Next here is London Bridge, which is described on the Nails Inc website as vibrant magenta glitter, which is correct but like Hatton Garden, it has small and large glitter particles.  The difference was that London Bridge  seems to be suspended in a sort of coloured base, looks kind of navy blue to me. 

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield (again, 1 coat of top coat was enough to make it not gritty but still bumpy)

And last but not least we have Chelsea Embankment, which as per the Nails Inc website is a classic gold glitter.  I do have a mini of this polish already in my collection, but I must admit I have not had a chance to use it yet, but now I am wondering why.  

This is an excellent glitter polish, it is small gold glitter particles in a clear base and is super opaque, two coats was more than enough for even coverage with usual application.  This polish was still ever so slightly gritty after top coat.

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

Out of interest, I decided to see how these polishes would work for layering, as they are all fairly opaque.  So here is 1 coat of each over a black, I chose Serena from the Gossip Girl set.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of Serena, 1 of the glitter and 1 of the Shield.

As you can see, with Hatton Garden and London Bridge you can still see some of the black showing through, but not much, and Chelsea Embankment is so opaque, almost no black is visable.

This collection can be purchased for £25 on the official Nails Inc website.

Thank you for looking and I hope you like this collection of glitters, I know I do <3 xx

Illamasqua Rare

Ok, this is for sure the brightest polish I own, and quite possibly the brightest I have ever seen.  It actually looks slightly more highlighter yellow than I could capture with my camera, but the poor thing did the best it could.

This is Illamasqua Rare, the application of this polish was excellent, in my experience neons polishes, and also some yellows for that matter, can be tricky and can have issues with being streaky and so thin you need a lot of coats to get the coverage you want but I did not have any of these issues with Rare, two easy coats and you have what you see here.

So this is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.  As with most neon type colours, Rare dries with a semi matte finish but was glossy as ever with 1 coat of top coat.

I know, not very festive with just one week to Christmas but I just had to show you this one, thanks for looking <3

Nails Inc Heavy Metals Collection

Today I have for you the Nails Inc Heavy Metals Collection, which features 3 colours with a liquid metal finish but are extremely glossy at the same time.

All polishes were super opaque, if I had been careful when doing my first coat, I could have stopped there, but all pictures were taken with 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

First we have Downing Street, which is a metallic blue, and may very well be my favourite of the collection.

Next we have Old Park Lane, which is a metallic antique rose.

And last but certainly not least we have Regent Street, a metallic purple.

This collection can be bought from the official Nails Inc website for £25, it is out of stock at the time of writing this but if you keep an eye on the Nails Inc Facebook page it is normally announced there when a sought out item is available again.

Thank you for looking <3

Nails Inc Holly Place and Noel Street

Hi everyone!  I'm back, and how I have missed you all......

I have two very festively named polishes to show you today, which in my opinion would be especially ideal for the party season as they are so sparkly.

Firstly, here is Nails Inc Holly Place which is a dusky pink and silver glitter.  The glitter particles in the polish are very fine and the coverage was great.  I was able to get the polish completely opaque in 2 coats and there was no issues with application.

With Holly Place I used 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.  With just one coat of top coat the polish was still slightly gritty to touch, but only ever so slightly.

Now we have Noel Street which is the same fine glitter but this time is gold and silver, and again there was no issues with application.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Noel Street and 2 of the Shield, which was enough for a completely smooth finish.

Thank you for looking and being so patient with waiting for my return.  I still have some stash posts scheduled so will leave them to go live for you but I will also try and fit some of my other swatches in between as I have so many new pretties that I am dying to show you.

Both of these polishes can be bought from the Nails Inc site and cost £11 each.
