Nails Inc - Limited Edition Royal Collection - Part I

Royal Wedding themed collection of four polishes

Oh blimey, two days to go and I still haven't posted this collection!

First up, let me say, I'm not a Royalist nor a particular fan of Wills and Kate, but I am a fan of extra Bank Holidays (yay) and a sucker for Limited Edition collections (foolish, I know) and hey the whole world has gone Royal Wedding crazy!!

So the Royal Collection is a set of "4 limited edition glossy nail polishes to nail the regal look" according to Nails inc.

They come in a gold tinged presentation box, all the polishes have appropriately royal names and more unusually they have gold coloured caps rather than the usual silver.





So onto the polishes...

First up is Balmoral – a delicate biscuit nude


Direct Sun



Indirect light


Swatch is 2 coats with no topcoat. Application was the usual nails inc goodness.

This is a nice neutral nude, very work appropriate.

The second polish is Sandringham – a glossy metallic red







Again application was great and swatch is 2 coats with no top coat.

Sandringham is a lovely shimmery red, it's definitely got that lit from within glow.

Tune in tomorrow for the other two polishes in this collection.

  1. There's just something about Nails Inc that makes me think: Yep, seen that one before.

    They churn out so many polishes but none of them are especially distinctive. I don't have a single Nails Inc that I couldn't happily give away... That's a shame.

  2. @jaljen - I wouldn't go that far, (because I'm a nails inc fangirl for all the good it does me!) and I do have a fair number of unique/different nails inc, but yeah they do have a stock of standard colours. For me I really like the quality and consistency of the polish but of course, your mileage may vary!
