Nails Inc Spring/Summer 2013.

I've always liked Nail Inc products, mainly because they have really good different products, for example the graffiti nail varnish…that is just amazing. However I have to say there are some really amazing releases on the horizon, so lets get started. I will now state however the photo's included are from Google and are not my own.


Gone are the days of sticking to releasing trend-led colours named after London landmarks and streets, Nails Inc are stepping it up a gear, hopping on the nail effect express and bringing more than a handful of innovative and new formulas, texture and techniques onto counters. Stick on skulls, leather, feathers and concrete? Where to begin…

Denim and Stars

I’m totally in love with this polish! It's not only denim in colour but denim in finish too.  It's denim blue with a swirl of a lighter blue that accurately captures an indigo denim finish.    Overall I just think this effect is stunning, you cant really see how amazing it is because I couldn't find a good photo up-close photo, however its looks like its got tiny bits of glitter in it, wether it has or not is something I'll have to leave until its released. This comes as part of a kit that contains star embellishments, but we'll have to wait a while for its arrival, as it doesn't land until June 2013 priced at £19...which is so unfair.




Bling it on

There are a couple of new additions to the line of Bling It On Kits, including Rebel, which contains a Leather Effect varnish in Shoreditch Lane as well as a selection of studs and Swarovski crystals and Romance, which focuses on bows and crystal embellishment, they each contain a mini Porchester Square and Electric Avenue. Both of which will be released in March, and will cost £25.

There is also a Neon Kit that'll contain a pink and blue glitter, which I really can’t wait for as they look amazing on the swatches. I'm truly a glitter girl so I'm incredibly excited, plus one of them pink! They will also include a mini Floral Street varnish and a Kensington Caviar topcoat, this will launch just in time for summer in May and cost £20.


Crystaltastic

It was about time Nails Inc did their take on fake nails and here they are! Obviously, they're not just any old fake nails and instead they all feature beautiful, crystal designs and come with nail stickers rather than glue so you can easily reuse them.  The crystals are genuine Swarovski crystals, so the price of each set varies depending on how many crystals are used.  They'll be launching in March 2012 and the price range is from £20 - £45. Personally, I’m not a massive fan of these, however never the less I think they’ll sell out really fast because they’re so unique in design. Out of all of them the gray and white ones are ok, however not sure I would rush out and buy them.

Feathers

This has got to be the most amazing nail effect ever, I'm so excited for these nail varnishes to be released. It’s a new formulation containing tiny feather-like particles, almost like long strands of glitter, blended into a range of pastel shades. From what I can gather these feather polishes had bloggers head over heels in love. It comes in four shades, Edinburgh (pale blue and peach), Brighton (teal and yellow), Cornwall (blue and white) and York (peach and white), from looking at the swatches of these they are incredible and looks amazing on, I haven't yet decided which one is my favourite just yet. However I will definitely be getting one as there just stunning.

Leather Effect

The finish of this collection, as the name suggests, is leather, and the shades are all leather-like shades to stay in theme, so you have Shoreditch Lane (mulberry), Soho Mews (tan) and Noho (black).  The finish of these is fantastic and these were apparently the most popular choice for manicures among bloggers at the event, which Nail Inc held to show case the collection.  These will launch in March 2013 for £12.

Concrete

Now we have the Concrete collection, these are four shades, which dry to a matte, "concrete" finish.  Just to be clear, the name Concrete is a reference to the finish and not the weight of the polish! The four shades are Marble Arch (red), Stonehenge (blue), London Wall (nude) and Monument (lime). The finish is really interesting as it's a little grainy and very, very matte.  It's definitely different to the standard matte, however I cant help think of a pain these must be to remove, due to the little grains.  Never the less these will launch in December for £12.

SS Trend Shades


The SS13 shades are beautifully summery; bright, fun and I want them all.  There's nothing textural here and instead the focus is on the colours themselves, which is fine by me.  The four shades are St James Park (coral/red), Royal Botanical Gardens (mint green), Chelsea Physic Garden (baby blue) and Kensington Palace Garden (peach). These arrive in March 2013 and will cost £11 each but there's also a mini kit launching at the same time, which will cost £22 and will include 3 of the shades mentioned above plus three more garden-themed shades.

Extras

There's a new base coat and topcoat being added to the Kensington Caviar collection in January 2013 for £12 each.  The base coat promises a primer like base with a fast dry finish and the topcoat is a Gel Effect, meaning that it'll give that plumped-up, ultra-glossy finish you get with gel manicures but without the commitment.  There's also a corrector pen available now for £10.

So what are your favourites out of the up coming collections?
