Nails Inc Nail Polish > Reviews (8)

I won this nail polish in my goodie bag and I was intrigued when I got it because it looked funky! It was a love teal/turquoise colour and looked like someone had mixed feck loads of glitter in with it. I had never even owned a Nails Inc nail polish before so was pretty proud I now owned one, a pretty one at that.

I know the Nails Inc polishes are expensive, and after looking up online I found out that the average Special Effects nail polishes by them are at least £9.50! very expensive considering I usually only splash around £3.00/4.00 for one!

The polish looks very attractive, and I am sure it would catch many of your eyes, its beautifully presented in its little glass bottle!
The bottom half is clear, and inside you can see the pretty nail polish.
The top half is the silver twist top lid, very shiny.
Over the glass bottle is the Nail Inc logo and the name of the polish.
On the lid is the name of the shade which I have got and a barcode, on the bottom of the bottle is the ingredients.

The shade which I have is Fitzroy Square, its a very different colour to everything else which is in most of the drug stores, its a deep teal/turquoise and has lots of sparkle in it, the sparkle being what looks like lots of different shades of greens.
The nail polish is meant to give of a 3D look.
Its so fun to turn the bottle in the light, it glimmers and shines and its so nice to watch!
The colour is not for the people who like natural looking nails, as you have to be quite brave ( I can only wear this on my toes because I am not brave enough to wear it on my nails! )

The brush is decent enough, not as good as some of the cheaper brands that I have used, but still its decent.
When I first used this I was so confused, I put on one layer but noticed that nothing much happened with my nails, it just kind of went glittery in parts and then other parts stayed the same, I then put on another layer but the same thing still happened! I was very confused, so looked to the internet to help, it told me that about 5 layers of it would get the colour and effect of what I see in the bottle, I was quite shocked as I thought thats a ridiculous amount and can not be true! But its the only thing what worked for me and got me to the colour which was in the bottle, as much as thats a waste, the colour was gorgeous and came out perfectly ( it took 5 coats but so what! ) I loved looking at how pretty the colour was, and how it sparkled in the light!

When I was repainting my nails I thought of something genius, I used a dark blue nail polish underneath and then put over the Fitzroy Square and the glitter seemed to stick to the other nail polish and looked gorgeous, plus it only took 1 layer, I preferred it to the other look and I am saving nail polish!

The bad points about this nail polish is it has an uneven texture, which is fine for me but some may find it annoying as it doesn't look smooth.
Another bad point is the glitterness of it fades after a day, and it looks quite dull so to keep it looking vibrant you must reapply.

I personally wouldn't pay a tenner for it but it does look flattering on, and would be great for a night out :) it was nice to have an experience with it.
