I picked up this Nails Inc. Leather Effect
polish while in New York last month, and hadn’t gotten around to trying it till
today.
I was more than a little intrigued to see
what the finish was actually like… Nails Inc. (along with Ciate) seem to be
ahead of the game when it comes to new finishes and nail art concepts, and I
was really into the idea of leather nails. It’s something different at least!
The finish itself didn’t disappoint. It
really does look like leather! It’s perhaps a little...
more matte than I would have imagined, but I really like the subtle texture. The black colour I chose (‘Noho’) actually shows up slightly grey-looking when it dries, but I really like it. I know Nails Inc. also make a 'cement' texture polish which I haven't tried, but I'd love to see the difference between these, as this is a little more cement-like than I would have expected.

The formula is really thick and if you’re
in a hurry, one coat would be sufficient, but two would be optimal.
Overall, I’m really impressed with this,
and I would love to try the nude version! I think the nude leather look would
be great for summer.
You can pick up Nails Inc.’s Leather Effect
polishes now, priced at £12 (but you can pick it up here for £10.80 with free delivery! YEY)
Looks great! x

I wanted to try this but I thought that it would look funny, but it looks quite nice on your nails xxx
ReplyDeletehttp://mrsbeautyjunkie83.blogspot.co.uk/
It seems like it lives up to its name, though I have to admit I prefer a less textured, glossy nail. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have the nude colour & really like it, I bought it with the set that comes with the skulls, but haven't tried glueing those on yet.
ReplyDeleteWow that looks really cool! Never seen anything like that before!
ReplyDeletelizzyersk.blogspot.com
Love it. Saw it around but didn't pick it up yet, might get one :)
ReplyDeleteFrom the picture it looks a bit similar to OPI's sand polishes, just without the glitter... Would you say it's comparable?
ReplyDeleteAnd it really looks nice, nude for summer sounds awesome!
Oh btw I wanted to comment with my Wordpress account, but the field where you put in your username was not clickable, is this a problem with your blog or is my phone acting up again?

I have been a bit skeptical about trying the' leather effect' polishes. Must say though in black it looks really good - either that or you are just really good at painting your nails. I'm a bit messy when it comes to that my hands have a tendency to shake too much. Love Laura ❤ Scottish Lass ❤Essie & Mac giveaway
ReplyDeleteIt looks good!
ReplyDeleteI love the Nails inc Leather polishes :) I have 2 in Soho Mews (tan) and Shoreditch Lane (red) and they're both beautiful! Not too sure if I could pull of the black shade though, think it would look too harsh against my pale skin! xx

Oh my god. That is SO gorgeous. I MUST have it. At the Sephora here in the U.S., it's sold at $11.00... which is significantly cheaper than the £12 you said it was. £12 is almost $19 USD.

these look amazing, as I'm sure you know Barry M "textured nails effect" polishes make a similar effect for half the price but don't look as good. They do have some nice bright colours which I love but tough to get of though. May have to invest in this Nail's Inc one.

I don't know, all these new finishes are somehow not my cup of tea. I love staring at my shiny nails and can take hours on watching the sunlight reflect off them.
ReplyDeleteIf I just tried one of these, I'd probably love them to death but I certainly don't want to spend my money on them yet.
But, I'll give it that, it's a real eye catcher
