Mani magic X Nails Inc. | Blogmas

The festive season paves the way for outrageous glam. If there was ever a time to get a little dramatic with your beauty routine you will now find yourself in the midst of it. A manicure can change an ensemble or a look. Whilst seeking my favourite shades that I have picked up over the years I was drawn to an array of Nails Inc. When it comes to your dream manicure there are no boundaries and these colours have not only accompanied me to weddings, vacays and nights out but they quite simply add a little personality into my everyday look. 

Quite simply put, they never fail me.

Priced around £12- £15, with the inclusion of both the Sparkle Like a Unicorn and Holographic duos, these polishes will not only last you for the year ahead but remain chip proof when paired with a top coat. Nails Inc. also offer a £5 a year VIP service in which 10% discount is applied to purchases made online.

Both It's all Elementary and Kings Road, a chrome and foil are subtle yet far from boring. In contrast Dream dust, Rocket fuel and Ghetto Galatic do more than what their name would suggest flourishing whilst under an array of lights. However it is Nail Kale that I find myself lusting after day after day, to say I have used this plenty during the AW17 season is something of an understatement.

Which is your favourite colour this coming party season?

If you are like me I rarely find time to go for a manicure but why do I need to when these awesome shades are literally at hand?

Day dreamer X Nails Inc

Now there is no denying that I have no desire to pretend that I am fascinated by all things Unicorn, like many (unless it's the new Starbucks frappuccino we all want our hands on). HOWEVER, some things are just too good to resist.

Unicorn nails by Nails Inc. are everything. The dream duo featuring a rose shimmer and marble lilac bring our wildest fantasies to reality when it comes to a show stopping manicure. The range is completely over the top and completely unnecessary however brings experimentation into a whole new realm that is carefree yet far from understated. 

Nails Inc. are infamous for their reliable brushes and iconic bottles. Their, 'sparkle like a unicorn' range combines one of our favourite nails brands with an idea that is fun and feisty. Not only do these colours apply like a dream but their colours change in every inch of light.

The holographic presence of Dream Dust and Rainbow Wishes is complimented by its long lasting sheen and 3D pigment meaning reapplication is unnecessary. Whether worn together or individually these colours will never fail to impress. 

If you are seeking something dramatic, powerful and ultimately ravishing these are for you my darlings. After all Spring fling has begun, embrace it.

Alexa Chung X Nails Inc. hearts review

First it was Victoria for Nails Inc. Now it's now time for a new fashionista to add their touch to this fabulous nail brand in one of the most sought after collaborations this season.  

Alexa Chung is here to add a little sass to your beauty fix with Alexa X Nails Inc.

Alexa hearts is perfection. A clear coat of polish merges with tiny intricate red hearts to create one of the most chic manicures around, after all it has appeared in Vogue. I've been wearing this polish all weekend, in honour of Valentines day, however it is perfect for any time you need a little glam in your life.

One thing is for sure, all you will receive are compliments as it is certainly a manicure that will stand out.

  

As with the Victoria Beckham polish, Nails Inc. have stepped it up when it comes to quality. This polish is heavy duty and although it may take a lot patience to ensure the hearts are equally placed to perfection, they last. The bottle is simplistic yet gorgeous with a chrome lid that emphasises the beautiful shape and colour of what is inside.

  

This is primarily a clear polish and in my opinion acts best as an over coat. I paired my Alexa hearts with Barry M gelly in fondant and with the two combined, my nails were divine. 

Alexa hearts can be worn over any colour when it comes to embellishing your mani or even on naked nails for a little quirkiness.

Alexa hearts is my favourite in the entire Alexa range. However she has also brought out seven equally gorgeous individuals alongside one colour collection. 

Nails Inc. are in the process of a re-brand in celebration of their fifteenth birthday and I cannot think of anyone more appropriate and fabulous to take over the role as brand ambassador from Poppy Delevingne.

VVB X Nails Inc. Review

As I previously wrote Santa seemed to know me a little too well. 

A few months ago when I heard about the Victoria by Victoria Beckham and Nails Inc. collaboration I was mesmerised and just knew I had to get my hands on a bottle. 

My favourite designer and go to nail brand merged into one? 

Victoria released two colours for this capsule, Judo red (as pictured) and Bamboo white.

The packaging was so chic and simplistic, very much like the VB brand itself, fresh and sophisticated. The bottle, it's texture and everything it came in immediately made me excited to try it.

I use Nails Inc. on a regular basis however VVB X Nails Inc. is something in a completely different category.

This bottle of Judo red felt a lot more luxurious than Nails Inc.'s usual. Of course I adore the nail brand anyway, they just happened to completely kill it with this collaboration and by kill I mean create something phenomenal. This bottle was heavier, looked better and the quality was beyond all expectations. 

      

I opted for Judo red (or should I say Santa did) as I planned to have a VVB manicure as I entered the New Year, red is both festive and statement making. 

The colour is bright, vivid and has a splash of orange in to make it just that little bit unique and special. The colour glided on and the brush was perfect, the only problem was trying to keep that bottle crisp white!

One week on and my nails are just beginning to chip, and by chip I mean the tiniest possible amount.

I was a little naughty and did not use a top coat so for this mani to stay like this without any touch ups is a dream.

I know I will find myself buying Bamboo white darlings, it's on trend and if this is anything to go by you will not want to miss out.
