The Perfect Purple. Nails inc. Victoria Gate

So after I found my Grey nail polish 'Berkeley Square', I also came across this AMAZING purple color! It is so pretty and shiny. The color itself is a creme finish which means no sparkle or shimmer to it.

It does have amazing shine without a top coat though, which to me doesn't really matter because I have to wear a base coat and top coat for the color to even stay on my nails for more than a day! but for some of you who have really strong nails you will be pleased to know that it does keep its shine throughout the week -

How Do I Know This?? I tried it out on one of my closest friends who has nails literally made of STEEL! (well not literaly but you get the picture) and she loved the color and it didn't chip or loose too much shine for more than a week! (the reason there was no top coat was she didn't have enough time to get one put on).

So getting back to the point, I love nearly all Nails Inc products

• hand creams
• scrubs
• nail polish (formula, staying power, colors, etc)
• nail files
• lots of offers and deals
  
• collections
• etc
  

BUT they do have some down sides.

• Price! Each nail polish is about £10.50 each, (about $16.94)
• The website doesn't ship to outside the mainland UK and Ireland.
• Postage (shipping) takes quite a long time (up to 14 days)

But that is just if you order of the website direct at www.nailsinc.com I have however found a website which ships internationally, for all you lovelies outside the UK! at www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/nailsinc

 

 This is with only one coat so you can see how amazing the color pigmentation is. The color on the nails looks a little more pinky than in real life and the color in the polish bottle is very true to life.

This is with two coats and without a top coat, the color really is amazing!

The formula isn't at all 'goopy' as I like to call it and it really is a great polish!

THE COLOR = VICTORIA GATE

The Great Grey Fiasco 2009/2010. Nails Inc. Berkeley Square

I have been searching and searching for the perfect grey nail color, not too light and not too dark. I didn't want any shimmer or shine, or sparkles or matteness. Thats not too much to ask? Or is it?!

Apparently it is too much, as for the whole of the autumn winter season I was looking for the perfect color, and now at the beginning of spring - I FOUND IT! Grrrrrr so irritating, and if thats not bad enough I had it the whole time in my Nails inc Autumn/Winter collection09 which I actually purchased when it first came out IN AUGUST! Well I got over the initial sense of anger at my stupidity and moved on, Who says you can't wear grey nail polish in January? not me! and technically its not even spring yet so I'm still good for a while. So here it is the BEST grey color available (and sadly I think it is a UK only company unless you don't mind getting slashed on shipping/P&P, or you buy off e-bay or something)

With some Rhinestones added to the thumbnail for some Frosting!

The color is Berkeley Square. The formula is amazing! You really could go out with only one coat although I have 2 coats on in the picture along with my base and top coat. The color in the pictures is slightly lighter than in real life and it looks amazing!

The whole collection I got for £20 ($32.29) and usually the individual nail polishes retail for about £10.50 ($16.95) which may seem really pricey but it is amazing quality, and you really do get what you pay for...

For example, OPI nail polish I can usually get to last for about 2-3 days without chipping, with Nails inc, its about 4-6 days. Which I am telling you is a MIRACLE! Nail polish does not stay long on my flaky, bendy, damaged nails!

To end this post on a happier note than my annoying nails, I believe that the Autumn/Winter 09 collection is still available but you have to get it quickly before its gone!

What's your favourite gray color? Do you have any recommendations for me? comment below.
