Nails Inc - Fine Sprinkles - Little Portland Street

Another polish from this set today, Little Portland Street this time, the pink sprinkles.  This one is like the baby sister of Topping Lane from the previous Sprinkles collection by Nails Inc.

 

 

It features an opaque base in bright pink jam packed with tiny pink, purple and gold glitter pieces.  The effect is more subtle than the previous sprinkles collection as the glitter is much finer but equally pretty, especially if you like your glitters to be more subtle.

 

Application was great, two coats are totally opaque and the glitter disperses well over the whole nail without any bother, it also dries really fast which is a great plus point.

 

Nails Inc Langham Street Fine Sprinkles

Today I am wearing Langham Street from the Nails Inc Fine Sprinkles set I bought the other week.  This shade is touted as being vanilla sprinkles, it reminds me a bit of Essence's Irreplaceable but a bit lighter.

 

It's a golden beige base filled with gold and silver fine glitter sprinkles which merge together to give a sort of champagne shade.

 

This one applies beautifully, two coats makes it totally opaque and it dries fast too, the only downside is that I am finding this polish quite chippy - it's an issue I have with most Nails Inc polishes and why I never tend to buy them full price.  I already have a couple of nicks at the tips and it's only been on for a few hours (other than overnight in bed) so far.

Nails Inc Fine Sprinkles - Warwick Street

Earlier in the week I showed you the Fine Sprinkles collection from Nails Inc that I picked up in TK Maxx.  Today I have a full nail of the day post featuring one of those polishes, Warwick Street, a jelly cream base crammed full of multi-coloured micro glitter, or as Nails Inc likes to call them fine sprinkles.

These pictures are just two coats and the polish is wonderfully opaque, you could almost get away with just one it covers so well.

The polish applies smoothly and dries pretty fast too which is an added bonus and although the glitter is a tiny bit rough it's easily smoothed out with a generous coat of top coat.

On first inspection I would say the fine sprinkles are in a white base but in some lights it seems to lean a mauve or lilac sort of colour, I'm not sure if that's the colour of the base or just the sprinkles making it look that way, either way it's very pretty.

The fine sprinkles collection is a softer more subtle little sister to Nails Inc's Sprinkles collection which I posted about HERE.  The fine sprinkles give a more subtle, gentler look than their rather more in your face big sister collection.

I really like this polish, it's a more subtle glitter look with a nod to recent indie collections which feature glitter suspended in creamier bases, I can't wait to try out the other 3 in the set, if they're half as pretty as Warwick Street the set will have been the bargain of the century!

Nails Inc Fine Sprinkles & Special Effects Set in TK Maxx

I popped into TK Maxx at lunchtime to pick up a present for some family we're visiting later for dinner, promising myself I would avoid looking at the nail varnish, and the scented candles, and the cookware too.  Truth be told there aren't many sections of TK Maxx I can be trusted in.  However, sometimes something is such a bargain you just have to buy it which is, funnily enough, what happened today.

 

I'd previously been eyeing up the Nails Inc 4 Piece Fine Sprinkles Collection on QVC which includes:

 

* Market Place - Lilac Sprinkles

* Langham Street - Vanilla Sprinkles

* Little Portland Street - Pink Sprinkles

* Devonshire Place - Mocha Sprinkles

 

So when I spotted a Nails Inc Colour Collection set in TK Maxx that looked very, very similar for just £12.99 I couldn't really resist.  It turns out it's not exactly the same set but very similar, the TK Maxx version includes:

 

* Special Effects in Warwick Street
(which oddly is often described online as a QVC exclusive shade with Blue, Red & Silver sprinkles but mine doesn't match that description.  Mine is the one shown here with multi-coloured sprinkles which I think is even prettier!)

* Langham Street - Vanilla Sprinkles

* Little Portland Street - Pink Sprinkles

* Devonshire Place - Mocha Sprinkles

 

 

I'm slightly sad to have missed out on Market Place as it does look very, very pretty but getting the other three and Warwick Street for such a bargain price will no doubt ease my pain in time. ;)

After the excitement of my Nails Inc find I couldn't decide on anything suitable to take as a gift to dinner so it looks like it'll be a stop off to grab a bunch of flowers on the way over there, excellent shopping skills there, I'm sure you'll agree!

Look out for swatches coming very soon.
