I did it again. I bought more Nail Polish-three more bottles to be exact. There's no more room in my storage now but they were so pretty, I couldn't resist. I'm blaming this one on my friend. She posted a photo on Instagram a couple of weeks ago of a trio of Nails Inc polish which she said she'd picked up in Savers for under £5. I was impressed, to say the least, so when I saw a Savers recently on holiday I went straight to the makeup.
There was a couple of different sets but I was drawn straight to this eye catching one. It contains 3 polishes-Kensington Park Road, Connaught Square and Hyde Park. Kensington Park Road is a 'neon' polish in a lovely blue. I don't have any polishes in this vibrant shade of blue so I was excited to try it. It's definitely not for those who like something more sophisticated or subtle on their fingers. I went for three coats to build up a really intense colour but it would have looked good with just the two coats as well.
I tried to use the 'crackle' polish over the top but couldn't get it to work. I used it as a topcoat after the blue had dried but couldn't see any effect. I'll try again but this time putting it on top of a wet layer of polish to see whether that works. Has anyone tried crackle polishes. What's the best way to use them?
My mum went for the '3-D glitter' in Connaught Square. This is a really lovely glitter polish with blue, purple and green glitter. She used a couple of coats on bare nails which was perhaps a little too glittery (is there such a thing?) so I tried layering it on top of Kensington Park Road which looked really good.
This is my first time trying Nails Inc and I'm really impressed. When I used them with a base and topcoat the staying power was good and they lasted around 5 days before I had to remove them due to chipping. For £4.99 these sets are amazing so if there's a Savers near you I'd recommend having a look!
