Nails Inc The Thames

Not the most unique of colours, but as usual, application was dreamy.
Wear time was passable. It wasn't as good as the other two polishes from the collection...
I liked the fact that it dried to a nice glossy finish though, sans topcoat.
It's quite a dark grey compared to most others on the market, but it doesn't lean blue or anything which is nice. I haven't swatched it as it's for my giveaway, but it looks close to Barry M Nail Paint in Grey...

Nails Inc Lowndes Square

 This was the first of Nails Inc's Autumn/Winter collection that I got for my birthday!
 When I first saw this colour, I thought it would be too similar to Jermyn Street (a cool brown/taupe) but it's actually quite different. It's like a dusky lavender with some brown in it. Quite interesting, actually!
 Wear was very decent, but I'm wondering if that was more to do with me cutting my nails right down than the actual polish. Application was nice and smooth, but you had to let the first coat dry thoroughly before adding the second or some bubbles would form. Thankfully, drying time was good.
 Nails Inc were so nice as to write "flammable" and then add a little picture of a fire so that we all got the message, lol. I thought most people were aware that Nail Polish is:
-toxic
-flammable
-not particularly great for the environment
Or perhaps not, then.

 Rawr. My claw is out to...claw you! No, just kidding, I love my readers <3
All in all, I really like this polish. Nails Inc usually get it right and this colour is interesting enough to keep me guessing. It's like a mix of the brown/taupe/grey/purple colours that have been in vogue for some time and ambiguous enough for me not to be able to call it any one of the above. Also, it basically melts off the nail with a little bit of polish remover, which I approve of as I hate having to scrub at my nails to clear them of polish.

More Halloween Nails

 Yeah, I did another set lol. Only I did these before Halloween but posted them after like the uncool person I am. And my photo taking sucked as well because these were on my right hand and it's incredibly awkward for me to take photos of that hand without having the aforementioned hand turn into a creepy claw like appendage.
What do you think? BeautyUK's Slate, Miss Sporty Nail Polish in Black and this white one I got from a manicure set in Poundland.

Note - students, be wary of people offering you sweets. One of my friends offered me one today and I ate it and then threw it at him because he'd painted it with that Stop N Grow stuff some people put to stop themselves biting their nails. VILE. And my aim sucks so it only bounced of his jumper. Someone else that he did it to managed to get him in the head with it, and he said it hurt, though, which I found incredibly funny. So yeah. Beware, I telleth thee.

Pink and Grey Experiments

Before you see the pictures, I apologise for the lack of cleanup - I just /knew/ I'd be told to take it off at school so painted it the night before and quickly snapped it before I went to school.



So it's my alltime favourite hot pink (I only have two, but let's overlook that little fact, shall we) over BeautyUK's "Slate". I've always wanted to do a pink and grey look and will probably repeat this one at some point, but neatly.

There's a bit of bonus Konading for you on the middle finger. It's the Miss Sporty brand but I don't think they name their polishes, so it's just the black polish with the blue lid lol.

It needs improvement, but what do you guys think about the colour combination?

Marble experiments

 This is two MUA polishes (the blue one and the purple one, I've forgotten the numbers - Superdrug, take heed and name your products properly!) over the grey BeautyUK polish.
It didn't come out as nicely as I hoped it would :( Looks all nasty and lumpy. Ah well. Anyone got any tips for making a marple work?

Beauty UK Slate Nail Polish

 And this set me back a whopping £1.79 /sarcasm.
 This is the first grey colour I owned. I figured that because we had Enterprise Day on Tuesday (I bought this on Saturday) and we had to wear "smart" work clothes to school, I might as well go the whole way and get an office-appropriate nail polish.
 This was two coats. It's pretty cool, nice and squishy. You can't really get away with one coat as it's overly runny, but two is fine.
 Fairly easy to apply and looks pretty good, I'd say!
I haven't tried out any other polishes from this brand but I'm going to have to now. Superdrug were doing a "Buy three for £5" offer which I'm going to take up next time I'm there as they have a really nice, wide colour range and if the rest of them have this sort of quality, I'm not complaining! A +, Beauty UK. Great nail polish.
