I know, I should have been continuing to swatch my dupes, but these gorgeous Nails Inc polishes arrived and I just had to try them. I mean, look at them. Can you blame me?

Nails Inc Leceister Square, Emerald Street, Bow Street. Bonus NiGHTS!

Another photo that was enhanced by my lovely boyfriend. He added in the little PaPETCH NiGHTS especially for Scrangie. How amazing are the crystal caps! I am SUCH a sucker for packaging and I want an army of these!! Downside is, they are expensive. Factoring in shipping and the exhange rate, Leciester Square cost me around $25 AUD. Emerald Street with the plain cap was a much cheaper $10 or so, and Bow Street was a gift from the lovely Carla G.

Leicester Square is a beautiful, rich, shimmery, mid tone purple. Insanely gorgeous packaging aside, the colour is amazing. It’s velvety smooth and picks up flecks of fuchsia and blue sparkle when you hit the right angle of light. This was two coats, and as usual the Nails Inc formula did not disappoint. I even found that the extra weight of the swarovski crystal cap made brush control even easier, so yeah. BONUS!

Back when I first started collecting nail polish and had a HUGE stash of say, around 20 or so, my search began for the perfect green. Finding green nail polish, especially in Australia at the time was a near on impossible feat. It just didn’t exist! I managed to score a bottle of Streetwear Forest off eBay and then thought my search was over – but I think we may just have a new frontrunner for the title of most gorgeous green. Emerald Street is exactly what the name implies. The perfect emerald green. This is what I wanted OPI Rainforest to be (Rainforest is more gold toned). I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be a dupe for Nails Inc Ascot – I will have to pull them out and swatch them side by side to be sure.

HOLD THE PHONE. Not only does Bow Street have a crystal cap, but its fuchsia/purple glitter in a DARK PURPLE JELLY. I thought for sure from promo pics that this was black with pink glitter, but I was GLORIOUSLY wrong! (How often can you say that!) I was so thrilled when I put this on that I almost jumped up and down. I had tp restrain myself. Lucky! Don’t want to ruin a good swatch and waste any more of this precious polish than I have to! Two coats to inky perfection. Now they need to make a blue version. Crystal cap will also be much appreciated!

So what do you guys think of Nails Inc? Pretty? Pricey? Worth it or not? Would you like to see more swatches?
