Victoria Beckham Nails Inc Collaboration

Hi everyone! I know its been a while since my last post! I have missed blogging but studying has taken over for the last 2 months.. But back to todays post... I was lucky enough to be sent these polishes from Nails Inc and today I will be reviewing the Victoria Beckham Limited Edition Nails Inc Collaboration Set which contains polishes customised by VB herself...

The set contains two polishes: 

1. Bamboo White - A beautiful creamy white with a hint of pink

2. Judo Red - A gorgeous red with orange tones 

First lets start with the packaging.. so as you can see from the image below.. the set comes beautifully gift wrapped in a luxury white box with a gift bag to go with it.. this is something I would expect especially because of the £45 price tag. The design has definitely been well thought out... and i think it would be the perfect luxury gift for any polish lover..

 The bottles have also been designed beautifully, they feel heavy to hold, feel smooth and are finished with a matte look.. they look expensive as they should. The sides give you a sneak peek of the polish colour inside which I think is a unique touch to the whole design. I think they would look beautiful in any polish collectors nail cabinet or display, they really do make a statement.

 Now lets talk about the polish itself..

Nails Inc claims:

1. The Polish is created with stretch to fit technology, these polishes will glide onto the nail for a flawless finish.

2. Formulated with bamboo extract to help build healthy nails and ensure a perfectly smooth application.

I really do agree with the first statement. The polishes are smooth to apply, I used two coats in both swatches and they give a flawless glossy finish once dry which is essential for me with any high end polish. They dry quickly between layers which is also a bonus and the brush design is also perfect as it allows the polish to spread evenly across the nail with minimal mess. As for the second statement.. I can not comment on the longevity of the polishes yet as I have not worn them over a long period of time but I did Judo Red on for 2 days and I can honestly say there was minimal wear at the tips of the nails which is a plus. Below you can see swatches of both shades taken in natural sunlight..

Swatch: Bamboo White

 Swatch: Judo Red

Final thoughts

Overall I think both shades designed by VB are beautiful and quite different to any other polishes I have tried from nails inc. The formula is perfect, the brush is well designed and the finish is also lovely. 

The polishes retail for £25 each or £45 for the set so I do think they are slightly over priced however if you are a polish addict like me and are looking to treat yourself or someone else as a gift I think they are worth it, particularly because they come in gorgeous packaging and of course they are limited edition so that is a bonus. 

I am grateful I was able to try these polishes... I will definitely be making use of them more this summer. Thank you Nails Inc..

Nails Inc - Snowflake Whitechapel

Hi everyone! Today Im going to be talking about and showing you the perfect festive nail polish.. Nails Inc - Whitechapel. I was lucky enough to be given this polish at the recent UK Nail Artists meet up I went to a few weeks ago, and Nails Inc kindly collaborated and gave us this polish among a few others they have recently launched. 

This polish is a special effects shade created especially for Christmas as was brought back by popular demand. It is the perfect christmas gift for any nail polish lover or anyone else you know who likes painting their nails.

Packaging: As you can see, it comes in a cute silver gift presentation box with the nails inc logo making it even more special and perfect for gifting. The product is also contained within Nails Inc's new rectangular shaped bottle which I personally like a bit more than their traditional cylinder shaped packaging, as it looks more classy and is better suited to the price point of the polishes they create.

Product: This polish is a glittery topcoat but you can also use it all over the nails (with 2/3 laters to make it opaque). It contains gold and white strips with white hexagon shaped glittery pieces which give the polish the snowflake effect.

Application: The product is extremely easy to apply on top of any base colour, the brush is the perfect size for neat application with minimal product going onto the skin. I created a gradient effect with the design below using small strokes on the tips of my nails and gradually built it up to my desired look. However you can also cover the nail with the glitter and it would still look pretty if you wish.

Removal: So I have to put this out there, the only downside to this product is the fact that it takes a long time to take off...BEWARE you will need a lot of TIME, NAIL POLISH REMOVER AND COTTON PADS. Because this is a glittery topcoat for some reason it always takes 10x longer to take it off at the end. My tip would be to wrap the nails in cotton balls dipped in remover and leave it for 10 minutes before you take it off. I wish I had done this myself. 

Price Point: This polish retails for £16 a bottle. Personally I think this is ok if i was giving this as a gift to someone for christmas or any other occasion however I wouldn't spend that kind of money for myself.

'Mr Snowman Nails'.. I used 'Barry M Lychee' as a base and created a glitter gradient with 'Whitechapel'.. Then painted a snowman on my accent nail to finish off the look.

Overall I think this polish is a pretty little addition to my ever growing nail polish collection and I love how it applied and looked with my christmas nail art design. It is a unique product which is perfect as a gift and I would like to thank Nails Inc for giving me the chance to try and review this product. I am really loving the new bottle design and the packaging it comes in is cute too.
