Nails Inc. Flakies

Hey all! Keeping my promise of having a post every day, until the new year! Today I have three sets from Nails Inc to share with you guys. The three sets consists of one creme color and one flakie top coat! Yes FLAKIES! Let's have a look!

The Old Vic Collection


Patent Black Taxi is a black creme. 1 coat, no top coat


The Old Vic Overglaze Top Coat is a blue flakie, done over Patent Black Taxi.


A better look at the blue flakies.


The Wyndham Collection


Teal Black Kensington is blackened teal. 1 coat, no top coat.


The Wyndham Overglaze top coat is a lime green flakie, done over Teal Black Kensington.


The Donmar Collection


Plum Black Chelsea is a blackened red creme, 1 coat, no top coat. Apparently this one wasn't as opaque as the others, and I didn't realize that until I took the pictures. Oops! ^_^


The Donmar Overglaze top coat is a orange and green flakie, done over Plum Black Chelsea.

I think the nail polish Gods are listening to us Fanatic's prayers. We're getting so much flakies! With this and the new Finger Paint Special Effects? This is so exciting!

The formula for these were pretty good. The flakies applied pretty well with one coat. They retail for $20 per set and is available at Sephora. I just wished they sold the flakie top coats on its own instead of in a set. The three creme's I would've definitely skipped because they are easily dupeable. We can never get enough of flakies, keep 'em coming!

What do you guys think of the three sets?

Nails Inc Electronic Lane Holographic Top Coat

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Today I have Nails Inc.'s special effects in Electronic Lane; which is a holographic top coat. This is my second purchase from nails inc. and I don't think it is stopping there!

When I saw this bottle at Sephora, something about the holo attracted me and I couldn't put the bottle down, so I ended up buying it. It's a clear base with holo glitters. I tried it under two colors, one under a charcoal black, and another under a sky blue. Take a look!

Electronic Lane under charcoal black. This was one coat of Electronic Lane. See how amazing the holo is? It was a bit hard to capture it on camera, even with flash. This was the best picture out of the 20 I've taken.


Electronic Lane over sky blue creme. This is again one coat. I love how angelic this looks.

I usually don't buy top coats like this because I'm too lazy to do layering. But this was too gorgeous to put down. This retails for $10 and is available at Sephora.

Did any of you purchase this top coat? If not, will any of you be getting it?

Nails Inc Special Effects Connaught Square

I was psyched when I found out that Sephora is starting to carry Nails Inc polishes. So far it's the glitters that attracted my eyes. Being that I am on a budget (still) I decided to only pick up one glitter. Those who are not familiar with Nails Inc, they are a London brand polish. I wish Sephora would carry all the colors they have including the adorable Little Miss polishes! Well let's take a look at the swatches.


Connaught Square is a clear base with tiny blue glitters and purple large hexagonal glitters. This polish took 3 coats for full coverage. It also required two coats of top coats because the glitters are so dense it tends to eat up the top coat. It also dried really dull so top coat is definitely needed.


In this picture you can see the purple hex glitters more closely and better than the first picture.

I waited a few minutes between each coat to avoid 'balding' of the glitters since its in a clear base. Two coats was good enough, but three coats guaranteed full coverage on the nails. This was real tough to remove. After attempting to try to remove my pinky for 5 minutes with no luck, I gave up and just did the foil method. The polish didn't chip after two days, but there was definitely tip wear.

This is available at sephora.com and retails for $9.50 a bottle.

What do you think of Connaught Square? Will you be purchasing any Nails Inc polishes?
