Nails Inc Lucky Dip - Glossy Shades

Hey everyone,

So every once in a while Nails Inc release a Lucky Dip which changes price and amount of polish each time. You know how many polishes you are getting just not what colours. I absolutely love this concept as I love trying new colours and types of polishes and especially colours I would not normally pick myself. This time around Nails Inc launched 3 sets of Lucky Dips - Special Effects, Glossy and Metallics for £18 which had 7 polishes in each set. Of course I had to order all 3 being the addict that I am haha. Each set that you receive is different from anyone elses. This current Lucky Dip range is unavailable but I still wanted to share the shades I got as the individual shades should still be available.

So in this post I will be showing you the Glossy Shades I received.



L-R:
Cambridge Gate
Wellington Street
St Pancras
Mayfair Mews
Madison Avenue
Cadogan Place
Hampstead Gardens



Cambridge Gate.
This one arrived with nail polish all around the opening - don't know what happened it :(



Wellington Street.



St Pancras.



Mayfair Mews.
This one is all gloopy and seperated :( even in the picture you can see that it doesn't apply properly!



Madison Avenue.



Cadogan Place.



Hampstead Gardens.

This was the set I was least amazed by and two of the polishes just weren't up to the standard I am used to from Nails Inc, just going to assume that I got two duds!

I apologise that not all the swatches are very tidy (swatching 36 colours in a row can do that haha).

I love Nails Inc polishes. They offer amazing quality, colour choice and unique textures! However at £11 a bottle it can be an expensive habit which is why I love when they do Lucky Dips. Even if you only love two of the colours you receive then you have still saved money versus the RRP. I have found some of my all time favourite polishes through these offers! Would highly recommend them to any fellow nail polish addicts out there!

L-R:
Lanesborough Place
Providence Crescent
Berkeley Mews
Cadogan Lane
Montrose Place
Stafford Terrace
Primose Hill



Lanesborough Place.
This is a lovely subtle gold shimmer.



Providence Crescent.
This is a very unusual reddish brown shimmer that would be lovely during the Autumn.



Berkeley Mews.
This is a gorgeous deep purple / navy. It looks amazing when the like hits it and really picks up the purple undertones.



Cadogan Lane.
This is a deep green shimmer with an almost teal sheen running through it.



Montrose Place.
I love this colour, it is a proper hot pink and really makes me think of a true "Barbie pink".



Stafford Terrace.
This is another very unusual shade. Its a unique bronze / brown shade. Another great autumnal colour.



Primrose Hill.
This is my favourite colour out of this Lucky Dip! It is an amazing silvery grey with lilac undertones, will get great use out of this one!

Nails Inc Lucky Dip - Special Effects Shades

Hey everyone,

So every once in a while Nails Inc release a Lucky Dip which changes price and amount of polish each time. You know how many polishes you are getting just not what colours. I absolutely love this concept as I love trying new colours and types of polishes and especially colours I would not normally pick myself.

Of course I had to order all 3 being the addict that I am haha. Each set that you receive is different from anyone elses. This current Lucky Dip range is unavailable but I still wanted to share the shades I got as the individual shades should still be available.

So in this post I will be showing you the Special Effects Shades I received.



L-R:
Neon Crackle Effect Polish - Camden Town
Glitter Crackle Effect - Farringdon Crackle Top Coat
Holographic Polish - Abbey Road
Matte - Gatwick
Magnetic Effect Polish - Kensington Palace
Magnetic Effect Polish - London Town
Special Effects - The Wyndham



Neon Crackle Effect Polish - Camden Town
I placed this over a dark grey base however the crackle didn't show up as well as it did over a different colour I didn't photograph so it can be hit and miss depending on the base polish. Will be a great colour for the summer though.



Glitter Crackle Effect - Farrington Crackle Top Coat
Again I placed this over the same grey polish as before. This crackle came out much clearer and is a gorgeous gold shimmer that could be a subtle or dramatic depending on the base colour used.



Holographic Polish - Abbey Road
I love holographic polishes so was delighted to see this in my parcel. I haven't tested the wear on this year but hopefully it doesn't "fade" like the Gosh version as that was it's one major downfall.



Matte - Gatwick.
I really enjoy matte polishes as it makes it more about the colour than the finish of the polish. Gatwick is a really unique red shade with orange / pink undertones.



Magnetic Effect Polish - Kensington Palace.
I find magnetic polishes to be very hit and miss based on their end design, however the Nails Inc ones I received are amazing - easy to use and a clear, visible design.



Magnetic Effect Polish - London Town.
Again this colour was equally as successful as the other shade, will get great use out of these when I fancy easy nail art.



Special Effects - The Wyndham.
I love top coats like this one. They are most effective over a black base as it offers a great contrast between the colours. It gives off a green / gold shimmer when the light hits it.

I love Nails Inc polishes. They offer amazing quality, colour choice and unique textures! However at £11 a bottle it can be an expensive habit which is why I love when they do Lucky Dips.

Xtras Nail Polish Haul

Hey everyone,

I recently placed another order on www.xtras-online.co.uk for some nail polishes. I love this website, they are always adding new items and I have collected quite a few Essie polishes reduced from their site. They also offer free UK delivery on all orders over £10 (which comes in handy when you have a UK shipping address ;) ).

This time I picked up 4 Essie colours I didn't have yet and also the full range of W7 Suede Effect polishes.



First up is the 4 Essie colours I got:
L-R:
Off The Shoulder
Cascade Cool
Mojito Madness
Ole Caliente



Off The Shoulder



Cascade Cool



Mojito Madness



Ole Caliente

Love these shades, great bright colours for the summer and like most Essie polishes you can get away with just one coat of each!

Next up - W7 Suede Effect nail polishes. W7 is a really cheap cosmetics company that are available in chemists around the country and online. They have some great bargains and they have a huge range of nail polishes. Some of the brushes in the polishes can be dodgy but luckily all these ones were perfect!



L-R:
143 Silver Suede
139 Night Suede
141 Golden Suede
138 Aqua Suede
142 Mauve Suede
140 Pink Suede



143 Silver Suede



139 Night Suede



141 Golden Suede



138 Aqua Suede



142 Mauve Suede



140 Pink Suede

I love these polishes they dry to a matte shimmer finish and have great true colour pay off! I would definitely recommend checking them out and they are only £2.99 each!
