It's a lovely <b>sunny</b> day here in Ascot so I thought I'd go for something <b>bright</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>Mercer Street</b> is a bright, mid blue creme in a <b>gel effect</b> finish.<br />
<br />
Application was good, swatches are <b>2 coats</b> with no top coat, but as you can see from my slightly dodgy cleanup this is a bit of a 'stainer' like a lot of blues and it's difficult to get a clean line. <br />
But super shiny!<br />

<b>The Boltons</b>, here in Gel Effect, is a classic <b>red </b>shimmer<br />
<br />
Application was good and these swatches are only <b>one </b>coat!<br />
<br />
I wasn't familiar with The Boltons as a place in London so did a bit of googling. It's in the Royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea and is one of the top 10 most <b>expensive </b>streets in Britain with an average home cost of £13million - eeek!Cali369http://www.blogger.com/profile/09938389165740657664noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563701533934525890.post-34026597702171899372017-03-29T13:10:00.002+01:002017-03-29T13:10:36.007+01:00Nails Inc - Marylebone Road <i>Spring green creme </i><br />

<b>Marylebone Road</b> was part of the <b>Picnic Perfect</b> collection in 2014. It's a <b>light </b>green, not super pastel but not strong either.<br />
<br />
As you can see the shade varies depending on the light, looking more pastel or <b>warmer </b>in different conditions.<br />
<br />
Application wasn't<b> </b>great - like a lot of pastels this had pretty <b>streaky </b>application and I had to apply <b>3 coats</b> to get it looking okCali369http://www.blogger.com/profile/09938389165740657664noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563701533934525890.post-7209436296234584502017-03-16T13:36:00.000+00:002017-03-16T13:36:21.117+00:00Nails Inc - Gel Effect - Old Bond Street<i>Deep purple creme </i><br />

<b>Old Bond Street</b> is a <b>deep purple</b> creme gel effect polish<br />
<br />
Application was good, swatches are <b>2 coats</b>, no top coat. <br />
<br />
I didn't test the <b>wear </b>on these so couldn't say if the gel-effect is just a glossy finish or long wear too.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.nailsinc.com/nail-polish/ranges/gel-effect-polish/" target="_blank">Nails Inc site</a> indicates that these are <b>glossy and long wearing</b> but I don't believe that any regular polish could last as long as soak off gel polish.<br />
<br />
And of course, Nails Inc have since changed the bottles for the <b>Gel Effect</b> range to the super chunky concave bottles.

After my generally good results with <b>Rococo </b>polishes from the SpaceNK bargains last year, I picked up a couple more in the treasure trove that is<b> TK Maxx</b>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Spellbound </b>is a gorgeous slightly <b>green blue</b> packed with fine blue shimmery foil. Although it does look a bit <b>glitter </b>like it's not gritty at all, the foil gives a much <b>smoother </b>finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shimmeryness isn't quite as <b>visible </b>on the nail as in the bottle, but she's still very pretty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Application was <b>good </b>and swatches are <b>2 coats</b>, no top coat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
RRP for Rococo is around the £12, I paid £3 in TK.</div>

<br />
OMG, March - how did that happen? I was away twice in February (Lisbon and Venice) so I'm afraid blogging took a bit of a back seat.<br />
<br />
My Venice trip was to celebrate my 50th birthday! So this is officially my first blog post as a 50 something blogger. I'm pretty sure there aren't many others out there but give me a shout if you are!<br />
<br />
On to the nails....<br />

<b>St James</b> is one of my favourite Nails Inc colours, a fabulous true blue <b>red</b> with a very secret shimmer.<br />
<br />
This is a '<b>Gel Effect'</b> version with plumping effect, so extra shiny.<br />
<br />
Application was great, swatches are <b>two coats</b>, no top coat.<br />
<br />
<b>St James</b> is a super old Nails Inc colour dating back to 2008 at least... obviously the Gel Effect version is much more recent.<br />
<br />

<b>Kurtsey</b> is a soft cornflower blue with fine gold shimmer/pearl. It definitely looks more lilac in my pics than in real life where it's more blue.<br />
<br />
As name suggests it dries with a <b>satin</b> finish and a soft glow.<br />
<br />
Application was fine but this took <b>3 coats</b> to full opacity. But I forgive as it's so pretty!<br />
<br />
This is from the rather extensive Sinful collaboration with <b>Kylie Jenner</b> in 2016.

<b>Mayfair</b> is an pearl finish polish in a slightly <b>off white</b>, I think Nails Inc called it oyster white. There's a smidge of pink and some warm grey/putty in there I'd say. </div>

After seeing this <b>new-to-me</b> UK brand on another blog I picked up a couple of 4-bottle collections from ebay.<br />
<br />
<b>Hello, Mr Wolf!</b> is a cool toned milky <b>brown</b> creme. <br />
<br />
Application was <b>good</b>, swatches shown are <b>two coats</b> with no top coat. And you can see it's not super shiny without one.<br />

<b>Sheer Beauty</b> is an extremely misnamed peach <b>nude </b>creme<br />
<br />
It's not <b>sheer </b>and it was certainly not a <b>beauty</b>. The formula was horrible, it pulled back on every coat and even with three coats there are some baldish patches - bleurrgghh.<br />
<br />
Swatches shown are <b>3 coats</b>, no top coat.<br />
<br />
I picked this polish up as part of a <b>cute </b>set of two mini polishes, a full size shimmer and this lovely <b>printed </b>bag. Thankfully I didn't pay full price and the other two polishes are good.<br />

<b>New Oxford Street</b> is an aubergine/brown/mauve shade with a slightly dusky feel.<br />
<br />
This is a <b>Gel Effect</b> polish, nicely self-levelling, shiny and even the flat, wide brush isn't too bad on my tiny nails.<br />
<br />
Swatches are <b>two coats</b>, no top coat. <br />
<br />
I can't keep up with Nails Inc and all their different bottle shapes and sizes but I do like these self-coloured overcaps.Cali369http://www.blogger.com/profile/09938389165740657664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563701533934525890.post-6501632083447239312016-11-23T12:55:00.002+00:002016-11-23T12:55:46.570+00:00Nails Inc November - Burlington Arcade <i>Deep pink/red shimmer </i><br />

<b>Fleet Street</b> is a fabulous mid to <b>baby </b>blue creme.<br />
<br />
Application was a little <b>streaky </b>but not as bad as I was expecting! Swatches are <b>2 coats</b> with no top coat.<br />
<br />
This is a <b>vintage </b>Nails Inc that I stalked on eBay for quite a while. In the end had to pick it up in a <b>bundle </b>of other polishes I already had.... Which is probably why I have three boxes of nails inc dupes!<br />
<br />
Given the annoying Nails Inc habit of reusing polish names, there is a much later edition of Fleet Street that is a taupe <b>Leather Effect</b> polish.<br />

<b>Paris</b> is a shiny plum creme.<br />
<br />
Application was good, swatches are <b>2 coats</b>, no top coat.<br />
<br />
So back in <b>2010</b> Nails Inc teamed up with <b>Boots</b> (drugstore) and <b>Diet Coke</b> to offer a free bottle of specially branded Nails Inc polishes when you bought 2 bottles of Diet Coke.<br />
<br />
I'm not a coke drinker but of course I still bought the coke and donated the bottles to pals - anything for <b>free </b>polish eh?!<br />
<br />
There were 4 shades available in 2010, according to my spreadsheet I might be one missing from the following collection - looks like I have all the 2010 shades but only 3 of the colours from 2011 when they ran the promotion again with different shades.Cali369http://www.blogger.com/profile/09938389165740657664noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563701533934525890.post-47029894819506362682016-11-11T11:16:00.001+00:002016-11-11T11:16:22.404+00:00Nails Inc November - Duke Street <i>Grey/mauve creme </i><br />

<b>Duke Street</b> is a greyed out blue/mauve creme.<br />
<br />
Application was good, swatches are <b>two coats</b>, no top coat.<br />
<br />
This is an old shade from <b>2010</b> and a swatch from then too! <br />
<br />
It's a rather downbeat, melancholy colour which matches my mood today with the news of Leonard Cohen's death and Armistice Day.<br />

<b>Palace Mews</b> is a glossy mauve creme that I'd probably say leaned crelly.<br />
<br />
This is a <b>old swatch</b> I found lurking on my hard drive so apologies for just one pic and a slightly strange angle!<br />
<br />
Application was good and this swatch is <b>2 coats</b>, no top coat.<br />
<br />
Palace Mews was from the <b>Sorbet Collection</b><br />

<br />
I'm featuring only <b>Nails Inc</b> polishes for <b>November </b>as I've done for the previous <b>4 years</b>. I usually find these <b>theme</b> months good for focusing my attention on blogging and I often end up with more posts for the month!<br />
<br />
I'll show some <b>older </b>shades - my personal preference as I have an extensive collection of Nails Inc polishes in the old style round bottle with the <b>hands/fingers</b> overprinting - some of the later <b>round </b>bottles and some newer style Nails Inc where they can't seem to decide on a bottle type!<br />
<br />
First up an old one...<br />

<b>Bubble Trouble</b> is a coral pink creme that's almost neon in its brightness. Love the name, love the colour, love the shine.<br />
<br />
Application was great, swatches are <b>2 coats</b>, no top coat.<br />
<br />
This polish is at least <b>7</b> years old, maybe older and may have been an ASOS exclusive. I picked it up on ebay after the fact.<br />
<br />
I thought this might be similar to some other Nails Inc polishes in my collection so here's a <b>comparison </b>swatch<br />
<br />

<br />
As you see it's no dupe, Bubble Trouble is lighter and more creamy than the others.<br />

<br />
Happy Halloween folks! I'm not a big fan of Halloween, although it's become a much bigger deal here in the UK recently, but we also celebrate Bonfire Night, which is this weekend when I'll head down to Kent for the annual family firework party.<br />
<br />
Despite that I thought I'd post something vaguely seasonal for today!<br />

<b>Sienna Red</b> is a lovely warm <b>brick red</b> creme -this shouldn't really be my thing but it's seasonally appropriate and I like how it looks on me.<br />
<br />
Application was good, swatches are <b>2 coats</b> with no top coat<br />
<br />
I love the <b>dinky </b>Mavala bottles and that they don't do bigger bottles - after all who ever, especially a nail polish blogger, uses up a big 15ml bottle of polish!<br />

Ah <b>PostQuam</b>, you and your slightly odd polish names, <b>Intense Grass</b> - really?! Aside from the unintended drug reference, what on earth is intense grass? It's certainly not this colour which is much more <b>pine </b>forest than grass!<br />
<br />
<b>Intense Grass</b> is a deep <b>pine green </b>creme with fine green shimmer running through. It's definitely not a secret-shimmer and in the <b>sunlight </b>looks very pretty.<br />
<br />
