Nails Inc. Sprinkles, The final two!



Good afternoon polish lovers! I hope you all are having a great day! I myself just got done with work about an hour and a half a go and boy could I go for a nap. 7:30 mornings are killer!

Today I bring you the final two Nails Inc Sprinkles Polishes, Pudding Lane and Sweets Way.

We shall start with Sweets way. Now when I saw swatches of this polish I initially like it, but for some reason when I swatched it on my nails I didn't like it. I had tried it once before over a white polish since the base on Sweets Way is milky white. Sadly that didn't look good either. I thought maybe by pairing them with a thin layer of a similar base color might help lessen the amount of coats you need to get the jelly effect but nope, not a chance.

Sweets way is opaque in three coats, and in dealing with a glitter polish three layers is quite a lot of glitter. This polish is also similar to Revlon's Whimsical and Deborah Lippmann Glitter In The Air only in the sense that the glitter color is the same baby pink, baby blue and silver. Although with Sweets way its all small round glitter and way more densely packed.

The pictures I have for you are three coats with a top coat in natural sunlight.



The final polish is Pudding Lane. I think that  this one is my favorite out of all of the collection. I don't have a blue this vibrant, or in this shade. Pudding Lane's glitter is gold and a darker blue glitter, which when the gold polish is mixed with the blue it almost looks like a lime green which is awesome. Two coats is more than enough to get this polish opaque. I suggest though with this polish to put on a couple layers of base coat because it DOES STAIN when removed. It doesn't stand horribly like Sally Hansen's Insta Dry Freeze but your nails will have a blue tinge to them.

Now the weird thing was that not all of the nails had the stain, its was like maybe 3 out of my 5 fingers. The way I removed the stain was by going back over my nail with a clean cotton ball and more acetone and then going into the bathroom and taking some soap (I used my Bath and Body Works Deep Cleansing) and a nail brush and gave my nails a good scrub. The little micro beads in the soap paired with the nail brush took off the stain in no time!

These pictures were taking in natural sunlight and no top coat.


So that's it for the Nails Inc. Sprinkles collection! I do really like these polishes and hope that more companies will continue the trend of all mixed together jelly polishes! I hope you all enjoyed this post , and I will talk to you all soon!

Nails Inc. Sprinkles Topping Lane.

Good afternoon!

Hope you all are well! Today I bring to you the second of the Nails Inc. Sprinkles Collection, Topping Lane!

Topping Lane is a pink jelly base that personally I would like to see Nails Inc put out on its own; that is filled with small round silver, fusica and purple glitter. I know Nails Inc. says its a different color but to my eyes it's a deep purple which I like a lot!

Once again two coats is the perfect amount to achieve opacity. I definitely feel like I have dipped my hands in pink frosting and then matching sprinkles. Speaking of sprinkles this polish also matches the sprinkles and candy coating I bought for the cake bites I will be making next week for my sister/BFF's baby shower. Maybe this will be my baby showers manicure.

Ok before I get to pictures I wanted to let you guys know I will be do a nine week summer nail art challenge! I will be doing it alongside Adri from Moriesnailart, and Lindsey from Polish and Diamond! I think I will do a separate post tomorrow to give you all the details!

Ok now for pictures! All picture are two coats with top coat in natural sunlight!

Hope you enjoy!

Nails Inc. Sprinkles: Sugar House Lane.

Hello!

Today I have one of four polishes I was super excited to get my hands on. I finally placed a much needed first ever online Sephora order.

I have only been to Sephora on a couple of occasions but never bought much. Sephora is slightly out of my price range. But after hearing a lot about the Sprinkles collection from Nails Inc. I knew I had to get them!.

I had a little bit left on a gift card from Christmas so I figured I would use that and get two of them. But Sephora sucks you in by teasing you. How? Well once you add a product to your cart a little note pops up saying if you spend x amount of dollars more you qualify for free shipping! The minimum purchase for free standard shipping is $50. So I got sucked in and bought the rest of the collection and a Soap and Glory shower gel.

I can complain though I'm enjoying every bit of what I ordered plus the samples!

So here it is Sugar House Lane. Its not my favorite of the four but I like it for work. It definitely came in handy yesterday when our specialist from corporate was around.

The polish is a beige jelly base that I can tell wants to mimic milk chocolate frosting with sprinkles like the little cupcake picture on the bottle. The glitter is small and round, colored black and silver that does look white in some instances.

The formula is amazing! Two costs and I'm good to go! You do need more than one coat of top coat to even it out. The pictures below show Sugar House Lane in natural sunlight and the last one is with a flash.





Until next time!
