nails inc the mall

how freaking hot is that! shimmery blurple at it's best.

nails inc chambord french martini

i don't know the story on this one..i'm sure it must just be a freebie from chambord.

nails inc aspen

talk about lit from within! amazing shimmery red. reminds me a lot of opi red like roses.

nails inc dover st and brompton rd
nails inc has an annoying habit of using similar names.
dover st. market is a vampy creme and brompton place is a bright pink creme

dover st and brompton rd always reminded me of each other in the bottle. like a shimmery and creme version of each other but they are really different.
dover st is too warm for me and brompton rd is just right.

ibiza orange
i didn't have high hopes for this one...it looks orange in the bottle...*yawn*
but on the nail...WIN! it turns a great tangerine...perfect for spring and summer!

nails inc hollywood was part of the Hills Collection.

i was surprised at how much i like hollywood! it is a neon so it dries down matte...but that also means application was awesome and smooth...almost like a jelly that way. i love it!

nails inc portobello market

i'm not sure what happened on this one...but portobello is a no go for me. it's just the wrong shade...i think if i were darker or browner it would be awesome...but the pink in my skin just clashed with the orange.

nails inc spitalfields

gorgeous easy to apply yellow...crazy smooth...beautiful buttery creamy yellow.
stinks that it does not work on me. i'm too pink...again for this color....i couldn't take it off fast enough.

mint greens...i don't own many...in fact ...this is it!

essie mint candy apple, nails inc haymarket (twin to satin), mac peppermint patti, and opi damone roberts
the mac was the most annoying to apply...by far. it also happens to be my least favorite color of the bunch. my favorite was the opi. and excuse the bloopy nails inc...i didn't wait long enough between coats.

nails inc maddox street

i chopped my nails off again and decided a nice vamp would be perfect!
nice nails inc application as always.
i have realized that i just do not love gunmetal greys...maybe the frost is what bothers me? i love the color so i would assume it's the finish.

nails inc marco polo house was my NOTD a few months ago...

but if you didn't know better you would think it was the same as this NOTD
nails inc princes st
it's a gorgeous velvety blurple in the bottle but on the nail it's black....so sad.

opaque in 1 coats...but i did 2...so far so good for wear.

OPI My Private Jet (this version was from the initial Night Brights release)
As you can see...it's a rainbow of holo goodness


When I first purchased it I tried it out by itself and it was a grey holo and I didn't love it. I gave it another chance over black and I loved it!
the black is Carolyn New York Black Out in the Bronx...and it was opaque and smooth in 1 coat and it's long d/c....but that's another story.

mavala myrtille

i have had myrtille on my wishlist forever...and i finally had someone offer to send it to me!! it's not as i expected...but i love it! it looks fantastic over nails inc duke st. sparse silver glitter and an almost orange shimmer in a pale violet base.
i kept it on for 3 days...that is love for me!
