I just heard news that Nails Inc is going to have another one of their "lucky dip" polish sale on Friday, February 25! This sale is going to take place one day only, and you can get 5 polishes online for £10, plus £3.95 P&P. The only thing is that you don't know what colours you are going to receive. Surprise surprise!

Rumours has it that some of the colours that might be included could be: Elizabeth Street (cream/nude), Whitechapel, (peal/white), Hans Road (red), Chester Place (dark pink), Mercer Street (bright red) as well as a few others. The set will contain four 'lucky dip' shades plus a A&E top coat worth £12. Regular price for Nails Inc polishes is £11 each.

I really like Nails Inc polishes, but as they are pricey, I like to take advantage of sales or promos to get them! This one is good as you get 5 for the price of one (well a wee more)!

Will you order the polishes? Which Nails Inc polishes do you have in your collection?

Hi girlies!

A few weeks ago I was posting about the new Nails Inc London Diet Coke collaboration. Since last time (May/June) I only managed to get one of them and had regrets for a while, I wanted to get most, if not all of them (Plum being, in my opinion, common). Denim was the one I wanted badly though!

Well, after two trips at Boots, I got them all! Here they are!



Caramel, as predicted, seems to be the most popular of them (judging by blog posts I have seen). It is a nude-beige type of color, that most people like. I have tried it on and really like the formula. Swatches to come!



The picture doesn't really pick up how similar those two are, but anyway! If you like Caramel, Eagle Street from Nails Inc is a good alternative, slightly more purple than Caramel.


A lot of people seems to list Heather Grey as one of their favourite one as well. It reminds me of the lilacs colours that were so trendy last summer, but with a hint of grey, hence the name.


Now, if you're in Canada, Fig from Joe Fresh Style is a good dupe, a little on the darker side though.


Plum. Berry red. I have to say, I didn't know if I was going to pick this one, as I think that every brand carries a colour like this. Anyway, I thought: What the hell, I got three might as well have them all!

So, after coming home, I checked in my Nails Inc box, and yes, The Vale is pretty similar, if only a little more burgudy and darker. Paris from last Spring Nails Inc Diet Coke Offer is in the same range as well, but slightly pinkier.


Last one is my favourite, Denim. It is darker than on the picture. I don't have anything similar, so I cannot post any dupe/lookalike for it! I understand that this color is the least wearable in the collection, but I like bold colors!

So thats is my thought on the collection, some are dupable, some less ( I have to admit Heather Grey is still unique, those two brands are not even sold on the same continent haha!). I haven't tried them on and judge how dupable they are swatch, maybe will try that this weekend!

Overall, like it!

Did you grab any, if so which one?

A few weeks ago, I saw this video by Say Anything Brooke on You Tube where she gives her tip to remove Glitter Nail Polish easily.

You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sayanythingbr00ke#p/u/14/DObRTb7NgAw

This was perfect for the Holiday Season coming and I kept the tip in my memory! When I put on some insanely glittery nail polish (Nails Inc Shelton Street: this one is so glittery, the texture is like I put sand on my nails, if you know what I mean!), this was the time to try the tip Brooke was giving in her video.

Here is some before pictures:



And what it looks like meanwhile:


Classy!

In her video, Brooke uses acetone as a remover, but she says that you can use normal nail polish remover. That is what I did. I also just took one pad for both hands, that I was soaking every other nail. It worked just fine. I would wait about 5 minutes for each nail, while watching reruns of New Year's Eve specials (Et Dieu créa... Laflaque, if you are from Québec, you know what this is!)

Here is a picture comparing a clean nail and a nail waiting to be cleaned!



And here is the final result!
I really like this tip! It is so efficient!

If you haven't watched any of Brooke's video, I suggest you do! She always has nice colorful makeup/nails!

The collaboration is back!

Last Spring, Nails Inc London and Diet Coke launched 4 nail polishes that you could grab at participating Boots. I was lucky enough to grab one, Paris, a dark purple one. London (greige)was the most popular one, it was flying off the shelves!

They still have 4 colours this time:Cool Caramel, Delicious Denim, Perfect Plum and Heavenly Heather Gray.

Since the trend for nudes doesn't seem to fade out, I am guessing Cool Caramel will be the one that everyone is going to choose!

You can grab a bottle of your choice when you purchase 2 500 ml bottles of Diet Coke at participating Boots. This promo starts on January 12 (I will be back in the UK just in time!)

Nails Inc London polishes retail at £11.00. With this promo, you get one for the price of 2 Diet Coke (a few quids)!

I totally LOOOVE Nails Inc London polishes! I will definitely check out the blue shade, Delicious Denim!

Do you love Nails INc London? Which shade are you eying in this promo?

I bought this box a few weeks ago, as Nails Inc London website had a one-day promotion: a box of 10 polishes, worth £110 for only £25 (I know, they are on the pricey side)! And since I used a promo code for £5 off, it was only £20!

So here is the box:
Upper row, left to right: buckingham street, eden grove, shelton street, maple street, the vale.
Lower row, leeft to right: dean street, berkeley square, duchess street, montrose palace, eagle street.

I love Nails Inc polishes, and I start to have a nice collection! I have never been disapointed by them, they always dry with a smooth finish. I also like how they name the polishes, with names of London locations! As a Canadian recently moved in London, I think it is interresting, because when I happened to see or go to one of these places, I remember the polish!

The only downside of this box is that I thought that Eden grove (teal) and Duchess street would have been more vibrant. They are still nice colors though.

From that particular box, I have just tried two colors yet: maple street and dean street. Maple street is a deep brown freckled with gold. Dean street is a shimmery pillar box red taht was perfect for my 1920's themed dinner at the Savoy (more on that later)!

I am looking forward to try Shelton street (gold glitters) for Christmas, as I wanted a golden polish for the festive season!

Have you tried any Nails Inc London polish, and if so, which is your favorite color?

I got this polish with last month's InStyle magazine. Probably a lot of you has one of the three shades they had by now! Anyway, I picked this colour because I like bright red these days, it is such a vibrant colour! I only love red for accessories or little things. So red nails are great!
