nails inc. polish set review



I have seen and heard about Nails Inc. nail polishes for the longest time, yet I have never really been tempted to give them a go. Before this set came into my life I wasn't big on painting my nails regularly, but I was gifted this stunning seven piece set for Christmas, and surprisingly enough I am completely OBSESSED!!!



This beautifully packaged nail polish set includes 7 delicious shades; 5 adorable mini polishes, and two full sized beauties. The set includes four mini standard collection polishes - 'Savile Row' is a deep and vampy, berry-like  purple, 'Tate', a classic and sexy pillar box red shade, 'Old Bond Street', a vibrant, true purple colour, and my absolute favourite from the set, 'St. Ann's Lane', a stunning dusky pink nude shade that looks so beautiful and effortless on the nails.
I adore the formula of these polishes; the colours glide on easily, providing an even and fairly opaque colour after only one coat. Another reason I am so happy with these polishes is that they dry fairly quickly - within one or two minutes of application.

                                                                                               A single coat of 'St. Ann's Lane'.

Another one of my favourites from the set is the miniature 'King's Road'. This is one of the foil polishes from Nails Inc. and although I was sceptical at first, I am completely in love with it! This polish needs only one coat for a spectacular metallic silver colour that will definitely win you compliments! Despite being bold silver shade, this polish is so easy to wear and looks fabulous both with and without fake tan - Bonus!!

The last two polishes are full sized - a fun fuchsia pink glitter polish, namely 'Derby Gate' (pictured below), and a bottle of the luxuriously glossy 'Caviar Topcoat'. Despite being a clear polish containing hundreds of pink glitter particles, 'Derby Gate' is neither lumpy nor uncomfortable on the nails. The brush provides just the perfect amount of glitter per brush stroke and the polish dries evenly. As top coats come, 'Caviar' does a lovely job - sealing the polish quickly, and drying to a high gloss finish.

                                                                                                     'Derby Gate'
The brushes on the polishes are long and thin - perfect for my narrow nails! The thin brushes on these polishes are not at all a draw back as each brush brings plenty of product to the nail.


If I had to give one downfall of these Nails Inc. polishes it would be this: without a top coat, the polishes begin to flake and peel away from the nail after around 2 or 3 days. However, with use of the 'Caviar Topcoat' the polishes tend to stay firmly in place for 5 days or so before showing signs of wear.

Personally, I am kicking myself for not having tried these fabulous nail polishes sooner! Everything from the formula, to the colour selection, to the adorable names is perfect! Although these polishes are a little on the pricey side, the quality of them speaks volumes and I can't wait to try more colours and collections from Nails Inc.!!
