Nails Inc - Warwick Street

Today I am wearing Nails Inc Warwick Street, I've been wanting this one for ages but and finally snagged it on eBay :D

This is like the other 'fine' sprinkles Nails Inc do, it is packed with red, blue and silver glitter and has a greyish lilac tone. This is 2 coats and it covers well.

This is without a top coat, it has a gritty type feel to it like other fine sprinkles :)







Enjoy! x

Nails Inc - Little Portland Street


Last one of the Nails Inc fine sprinkles and oh boy this was is my favourite. I am glad they are easy to remove as I will wear this a lot!

Little Portland Street is a gorgeous magenta pink full of purple, gold and dark pink glitter. The purple is matte which leaves the dark pink to shimmer slightly, it's a wonderful combination. 

The application is a breeze and this was opaque in one coat, I used 2 for swatch purposes as always. Like I've said removal is a lot easier than most glitter polishes.

Nails Inc - Devonshire Place


Another of the Nails Inc fine Sprinkles is Devonshire Place. 

This is a lovely latte brown with fine matte black and gold glitter. 

Compared to the original sprinkles the removal process is a lot easier. 



As well as the original brown sprinkles this one is also a favourite, I just love the brown sprinkles. 

Have you gotten the fine sprinkles?

Nails Inc Sprinkles Gradient


Well this is kind of my attempt at a gradient, I'd never done one before and thought it would be a neat idea with sprinkles. 

I used both Langham Street (vanilla sprinkles) and Market Place (lilac sprinkles). 



I really do love these sprinkles, they have a feel almost like sand. Grainy, they are also a lot easier to remove than the original sprinkles which is a plus.

Nails Inc - Fine Sprinkles

Finally these are mine, I missed them on QVC the first time but recently checked and found them back in store :D So I quickly ordered them.

They are so beautiful. Here are some bottle pics. 

Langham Street - Vanilla sprinkles, lots of fine gold glitter. 


Market Place - Lilac sprinkles with purple glitter. 


Little Portland Street - Pink sprinkles with darker purple and gold glitter.


Devonshire Place - Mocha sprinkles with black glitter. 


Here I have done some quick swatches on a nail wheel to let you see how they look. They are matte like the originals and quite like sand to me. They are very pretty so watch out for more pics to come!


Enjoy! x

Nails Inc - Topping Lane


Got today swatches of my last Nails Inc swatches. Topping Lane a real girly polish for those who love their pinks!
This one is a lovely pink with purple, magenta and white matte glitter. Really easy to apply and opaque in 2 coats. 
I have loved these sprinkles despite how difficult they are getting off but that's the price you pay for pretty glitters ;)



I really must add Pudding Lane into my stash soon. 

Enjoy! x

Nails Inc - Sugar House Lane

This is my second from my collection of the Nails Inc Sprinkles. Missing Pudding Lane but I am adoring these cute polishes, I will definitely add that to my list some day!

Sugar House Lane is a lovely creamy brown full of black and silver mattefied glitter, allows you to wear a full on glitter mani without sparkling like a Christmas tree not that I mind that I love my glitters ;3



As with all glitters this was not the most fun and easy to remove even with my little magic pot of Borjouis it took a good 40 minutes around to remove Sweets Way but it was a little easier than the foil or scrubbing method at least. Still it's not enough to put me off as these are such cute pretty polishes :3

Nails Inc - Sweets Way


Finally as you know the sprinkles are finally mine. I've wanted Sweets Way since they were first realeased and after seeing the 3 set on QVC for the great price of £23.61 inc p+p I had to have them!

Obviousley the first I'd try would be Sweets Way and I simply love it. It's so cute and it really does remind me of the topping of fairy cakes I love making :3

Sweets Way is a milky white base packed with light blue, pink and white glitter. The application of this was pretty simple, I applied it like any other polish and it's quite oppaque in 2 coats.

I can see this being worn a lot, it's so cute and there's more to do with it then just a full coverage. Accent nail or a nice french tip maybe? ;)



Have you got any of the sprinkles yet? Which one is your favourite? I'm missing Pudding Lane as it's my least favourite.

Nails Inc - Victoria


I have this picture today which really isn't that good, I had taken it at 6am in the morning my eyes were probably very unfocused lol This is what I wore on Saturday for my sister's wedding :3

Base we have Nails Inc Victoria, 3 coats. This wasn't my favourite polish ever I found it really difficult to get an even mani. I swiped Barry M Silver multi glitter across the tips, it's a really beautiful polish.

Sorry for the terrible photo, there wasn't much spare time to be getting good light and pictures lol and then it had chipped sometime during the evening, Boo!!

It was a fun, cute mani to do anyhow.


This week is going to be all about my 3 Nails Inc sprinkles, so watch out for that. I'm keen to see how they are going to be for removing!

Enjoy! x

Nails Inc- The Sprinkles Collection


So exciting to say I finally have 3 of the Nails Inc Sprinkles. QVC recently had the pack of 3 for a total of £23.61 inc P+P. In the pack were Sugar House Lane, Topping Lane and Sweets Way, out of the 4 these are my preffered 3 as I am not the fondest of Pudding Lane which is the blue one.

How cute are these, I have bottle pics so far. I have had no time to change my nails this week due to sewing up over a dozen roses for a wedding box. I will begin swatching these next week :3


Up first Sweets Way my absolute fave of the sprinkles. A milky white base full of pink, blue and white glitter.


Sugar House Lane a lovely milky brown full of black and white 'sprinkles'.


and Topping Lane an awesome pink base full of magenta, purple and white 'sprinkles'.

Awesome yes? Have you gotten any of these sprinkles? What's your favourite?

See you after the wedding for sprinkles of swatches :D

Enjoy! x

Max Factor- Fantasy Fire


Today I have one of my favourite layering polishes.. Max Factor Fantasy Fire. Depending what you layer it over it can have some great looks. I have tested it twice over purple so far, a dark and light respectively. I would love to test it over some more maybe a dark blue but I have a lot of untrieds yet to swatch ;3 You can get this at Superdrugs and Boots stores for £3.99, it is quite a small bottle though but as layering it should last a but still :3


My first test was over a dark purple by Technnic I found on a local make up stall for 99p. It makes the FF effect come out quite dark, alot of dark red, green and gold shifts depending on the light. I loved this and I will be wearing it again as it would be a great Autumn/Winter mani not so summery.
I will say this was a pain to get off, it took me ages which I didn't expect, I will test it with my Borjouis Magic Remover next time.


This was tested over the beautiful Nails Inc Ebury Bridge in my last post. You can see the effects are totally different. This was quite a magical effect all shimmery pink and gold.


I think this is a beautiful polish and a good one to test with various polishes.

Enjoy! x

Nails Inc- Ebury Bridge & Westferry Circus

I have two swatches that I specified in my rainbow mani post. These are two beautiful summery colours from Nails Inc- I Can Paint a Rainbow mini set below..
First up is Ebury Bridge a beautiful dusty lilac. I love this polish, it's perfect for summer. I applied 2 coats here, application was pretty smooth. I love purples and lilacs so this is a firm favourite of my stash.
Next up is Westferry Circus, this is definately my favourite from the 6. It is so bright and cheerful, it's definately not a pastel peach. I couldn't stop looking at my nails wearing this, it's so pretty. I wish it was in a full sized bottle. I looked but couldn't find it.

I'll have to wear the others out of the set, this set cost £25 but I was lucky to snag a brand new set for £11 on eBay, not bad ;3

Rainbow Sponge Art


My first attempt at a sponge mani using Nails Inc Westferry Circus a pretty peach on my tips, Ebury Bridge a beautiful powder lilac, Summer Place a summery lemon and Technic pastels mint green. A topcoat of La Femme glitter top coat blends in any sponge marks at the end. 
I used little pieces of sponge the size of my nail and painted each colour on in strips and sponged it on my nail, I did 3 thin coats. I used the glitter to blend the sponge marks in.
*This was not my idea, it's been circling the net so none of the credit is mine* :3


I really loved the effect of this although if I did it differently i'd choose more pastel shades and learn to blend it in more. The colours are beautiful, Westferry Circus and Ebury Bridge are 2 of the most beautiful polish colours I have. I have swatches of these I will post next time as there's not alot to see in the rainbow.
Technic Pastel Mint I have to say I didn't like, for this it was ok but as a complete colour it was sheer, streaky and even on the 4th coat was I still had streak marks, it was also very strong smelling. I ended up with quite the headache after trying to get it all even, that was one of the first and only polishes I tossed out, for 99p it was no big loss. I bought Barry M Mint to replace this and I like it much better.

My first Cult Nails- Seduction!

My first Cult Nails I have gotten was their Limited polish- Seduction. A great layering flakie. It cost roughly £11 for the polish and shipping to the UK, so not bad to me it costs that for one O.P.I! It won't be my last Cult Nails, I loved using Seduction and it lasted many days until I changed my polish. I was already wearing Nails Inc Victoria- a deep burgundy colour. So I added a coat of Seduction right on top as soon as I got the package open and here are the results. Excuse my bad nails I had some terrible breaks here and they were so short. Look at all those pretty flakies! I look forward to my next order from Cult Nails soon.

Enjoy! x
