Nails Inc: 'My Nail Polish Diary' - July

Hello everyone... and hello to July! Time for Nails Inc's Polish Diary again! This month is a lovely neon pink shade called Notting Hill Gate.

(I'm not holding the bottle this month, oops!) ANYWAY, I applied 2 coats of the polish over a (very thin!) white base, to help the colour pop a bit more. It's quite transparent so I recommend using a white polish underneath, preferably fully opaque though!

I really like this colour, especially for this time of the year, it's so darn cheery! Don't apply it too thick though, because it will bubble, and you will be annoyed, haha!

Have a great day!

Nails Inc: 'My Nail Polish Diary' - June

 Hello! It is June! Once again, it is time for Nails Inc's Nail Polish Diary!

This is going to be a short post because I am in a rush right now, oops! So this month is all about 'Chester' which, as you can see, is a kind of confetti style polish. I'm not the world's biggest fan of these kinds of polishes, but it is quite nice.

It is very similiar to Barry M's 'Dolly Mixture' confetti which I painted on my index finger. The colours are the same only the Barry M version is paler, and so for me, I kind of prefer the Nails Inc version here.

It is the sort of polish that you'd have to put a thick topcoat on to unless you don't mind your nails feeling bumpy. I do think it is a nice polish to start off the Summer!

That's all for now!

Nails Inc: 'My Nail Polish Diary' - May

It's May Day, which means it's time for Nails Inc's polish of the month - Fulham Palace Gardens! It is a pink coloured polish with multi-coloured glitter, as you can see!

It looks very close to Barry M Pink Sequin Nail Effects which has the same colours but is textured, while Nails Inc is not. Therefore, I painted the thumb and index finger with Barry M to contrast it. I'm not the world's biggest fan of either really - I kind of think it's a bit much and just looks a bit random but that's just my thought on it.

Sorry for the short post, but I hope to write more in the Summer! :)

Nails Inc: 'My Nail Polish Diary' - April

It is the 1st of April, and we know what that means! No, I'm not talking about April Fools' Day, but rather the April polish from Nails Inc's Polish Diary, Sloane Avenue!

This is a lovely 'neon' coral/pink shade, perfect for Spring/Summer -- just a shame the weather doesn't reflect that. I mean really, I am so sick of rain/fog!

Anyway, I applied one coat to the thumb and index finger and 2 coats on the rest to give you an idea of the consistency. It is kind of thin as you can see, but 2 coats seems fine, and after 2 coats, it is nice and glossy (I am not using a topcoat in the pictures).

I'm rather busy so I'll just leave it there, but I definitely love this colour!

Nails Inc: 'My Nail Polish Diary' - March

I very nearly forgot this, but March is here (yay!) and we know what that means! Yes, today is the March polish from Nails Inc's 'My Nail Polish Diary' which is called Baker St and is a lovely cobalt blue colour.
If I'm honest, I'm not the world's biggest fan of blue nail polish - it's one of the colours I'm rather picky about when buying, the reason being that many shades of blue, to me, make one look like they have a nail disorder, or only look nice from short distances.

Nails Inc's Baker Street, however, is quite a nice colour, and while I would not wear this in the summer, when I prefer lighter shades, I think it does suit this time of year and the weather it brings (promise of a cold Winter's end built up by that glimmer of sunlight and then bam - rain, does make one feel... blue).

I must admit, I didn't quite get the results that other people seem to have with regards to its finish. While others might say that it dries nice and glossy, that was not the result I observed. I thought it was a bit matte, actually, as you can see in the photos, which shows the polish with no topcoat. There is one coat on each nail apart from the pinky nail which has 2 coats (or so I believe, as it was quite a while ago that I did this, sorry!)

Have a great day!
