Thoughts?
This
month Glamour comes with yet another amazing freebie, a full-sized bottle of
Nails Inc polish worth £11. Founded in 1999 by Thea Green, Nails Inc now have
an impressive 58 concessions across the UK and serve an average of 10,000
customers per week. They boast a range of over 200 gorgeous shades of nail
polish all named after famous London streets like Piccadilly, Baker Street and Notting
Hill. I was first introduced to the brand several years ago by -yes, you’ve
guessed it- Glamour magazine. This month the publication is giving away four more
polishes, St. James (a vibrant candy apple red), Glamour Glitter (a sparkly
gold glitter), Elizabeth Street (a delicate pale pink) and Motcomb Street (a
rich dark blue).
As
I have a subscription I didn’t get to choose the colour I got and I must admit
I was a little disappointed when I opened the packet and Motcomb Street fell on
my lap. My nails are usually long (not through choice but because they grow so
fast that keeping them short means near-constant filing!) so I think dark
shades can end up looking a little vampy on me. Although the polish looked very
dark and flat in the bottle it actually had a pretty inky blue tinge when
applied and dried to a stunning high-shine finish. Like all Nails Inc polishes
the texture was neither too thick nor too thin and went on beautifully evenly.
Although you could apply more than one coat for a more intense colour the shade
in the picture was achieved with just one coat. The polish held up well,
retaining its lustrous finish and didn’t chip for nearly a week. Although I’m
still not sure Motcomb Street is the colour for me, it is incredibly striking
and would be the perfect complement to a party outfit this season. If you want
to try Motcomb Street you can purchase it from the Nails Inc website for £11.
Lovely nail polish, it looks really good on your nails :) You should definitely try more dark colours x
ReplyDeleteThanks, while it's not a shade I ever would have picked myself I must admit I find the colour is really starting to grow on me!
ReplyDeleteAwesome nail polish! I wish I had nails like yours!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you :) I tend to just file my nails into shape every couple of weeks and let then them grow if I'm honest, I'm very low-maintenance lol
