Nails Inc GEL Effect Polish – Bond Street

Nails Inc - GEL Effect Polish BOND STREET

This wouldn’t be my normal colour choice but I received as a Christmas pressie and I’m so glad I did!! It’s the best when someone gives you a presents and you can say ‘I wouldn’t normally choose this but IT’S AMAZING!!! ’

The polish itself applies smoothly and really does have a gel like feel about it – and shine!....The shine is fab and doesn’t seem to dull  down either!

I wouldn’t quite say it’s as good as an actual gel like Shellac or whatever but it is a long laster, definitely stays put for longer than a normal polish.  I’m going to hunt down some other colours to try J

NOTD - Nails Inc Notting Hill Gate

Hiya!!

I've had a few days off work this week so I painted my nails (I'm not allowed to wear nail polish to work any more :( ) and I am loving it!! I used to paint my nails so often, I've missed having colourful talons to the max!!

So I went all out and bought a bright neon shade from the new Nails Inc polishes called notting hill gate, it is an amazing neon pink colour!! As soon as I saw it I had to have it and I know its going to be on my toe nails all summer...and spring!!!

I have to say I was a little disappointed when I popped this on my nails as the colour, although still bright wasn't as bright as I had expected and it seriously needed about 3 coats to get a good coverage.  I definitely needed to use a top coat as well because there was little shine to the finish of notting hill gate and I love a glossy nail!!

This being said I still adore this polish as the shade is so lovely, bright and fun!! I've never seen a nail colour so bright!!

Nails Inc notting hill gate is £11 link.

NOTD - Wocka Wocka!!

Another day, another polish from my wee Muppettes OPI set.  This one is Wocka Wocka!

A lovely deep red with a good shimmer.  As with most OPI polishes, this shade has good pigmentation and just needed two coats.

I've been using Seche Vite dry fast topcoat for a few months now and I love it!! it gives such a shiney finish and definitely prolongs the wear of polish!! Yay!! Also, an even better find - Trind Nail Repair - I received mine in a Carmine box (the October one I think) and it has changed my life!! I use it as a base coat every time I paint my nails and honestly my nails don't break or flake nearly as much as they used to!! The first nail treatment I've found that actually works.  I think it helps that I've kept up with this one - I normally give up after a few applications....Although I've not been applying daily as the directions say just whenever i paint my nails.  Anyhoo, I highly recommend both the Seche Vite top coat and if you have weak/fragile nails the Trind treatment which i've just discovered comes in different colours!!

NOTD - Excuse Moi!

I told you so....

OPI Excuse Moi is from the Muppets Holiday Collection 2011 collection. I received it in the Muppettes pack of four mini nail polishes and it was instantly my favourite of the four.....anything pink is bound to be a win with me!

 

Only two coats for brilliant opacity which in my opinion is really good for a glitter polish!   I like the mini bottles because I rarely finish a full size nail polish and these take up less space in storage.

NOTD - Your Royal Shine-ness

Super silver foil polish today in the form of OPI's Your Royal Shine-Ness.

Not your average silver foil though, Your Royal Shine-ness seems to have a slight gold sparkle in there too, making it an unusually warm shade of silver.  As with most OPI polishes 2 coats was good for opacity and the polish was really manageable making it easy to achieve a smooth finish.

Your Royal Shine-Ness was from OPI's Serena Williams Glam Slam collection in Summer 2011 but you can purchase it here

NOTD - Betty Blues

No7 Betty Blues is a deep blue with a subtle light blue sparkle.

I love No7 nail polishes the brush makes them so easy to apply and the formula is brilliant - opaque in two coats and chip resistant on my flakey nails for up to 3 days!!

This dramatic colour reminds me of Chanel's Blue Satin.                                                                              

Chanel Blue Satin

Certainly one of my favourite No7 shades!! 

NOTD - So Simple

After months of festive glitter nails I've been feeling the need for something more....simple.

Queue No7 Stay Perfect nail polish in the shade So Simple:

I think this is the perfect nude shade.  The formula gives an opaque finish in two coats, usually gives 2-3 days wear before chipping and can be removed so much easier than glitter polishes!

Perfect for my January glitter detox :)

No7 Nail Polish is available in Boots for £7.
