Pocket Money Polishes My Girl

Something really special for you today, my very first ever Indie, and what's more, it is a UK Indie!

I saw this blogged by lovely Charlotte on So You Beauty and I thought it was so pretty I ordered one within minutes of seeing it! It arrived the next day and I have been wearing it since Monday, but have been so busy with other stuff I really didn't want to rush my posting.

I chose Nails Inc Pembridge Crescent as my base, and I think this grey lilac makes a beautiful base for this polish.

This is Pocket Money Polishes My Girl and it is such a pretty polish. It is a mix of grey and pink hexes and lots of tiny microglitter that pick up all sorts of colours and I absolutely love it!

It painted on well, glitter distribution was good and it dried quickly too. I wore it with one coat for a day and then added a second coat. I like it both ways, the final pic is with one coat, the rest are two coats of glitter.

This is her one of her first polishes and if this is anything to go by, I think she has success on her hands.

Nails Inc Pembridge Crescent

I have reviewed this beautiful Nails Inc polish briefly before when I received the Garden Party Collection but this is the first time I have worn it.
Pembridge Crescent is a gorgeous grey lilac, and it has that duskiness to it that I love with pastel shades, not too pretty.
It painted on beautifully, and is very wearable. It's ones of those colours that you could class as a nude, and it is so rich and creamy, very sophisticated. When I move away from dark shades, this is the sort of colour I go for that is well within my comfort zone.

and then just because they are so cute, I found my kittens hiding on the top stair today, maybe avoiding the smelly nail varnish!

Nails Inc Garden Party Collection

Almost an impulse buy for me last week, I had seen a couple of preview pics and decided if the show looked good I would go for this.
This is a stunning summer collection, made up of 3 pale, pastel and quite neutral shades and  a stunning chunky glitter.
Pembridge Crescent is a pale, grey lilac cream, Holland Park Gardens a pale sage and Bloomsbury Way a pretty pale pink, pink but not too sugary pink.
I don't own many pinks so no comparisons there but I have swatched the 3 creams with 2 other colours that came to mind as I was looking at this collection, Leighton Denny Leading Lilac and OPI Thanks a Windmillion. These are two of my favourite colours for those odd occasions when I do move away from darks and nudes, but when I get new colours I like to know where they fit in with existing varnishes.
As you can see, Pembridge Crescent is a little paler and much greyer than Leading Lilac, Holland Park Gardens is in my opinion a very silimar shade to Thanks a Windmillion but much paler.

 

The 3 cream shades are beautiful. They all applied well in two coats, with good coverage.

And now for the stunning glitter Grosvenor Gardens, a mix of pink, purple and silver large hexes, smaller pink and purple hexes, then smaller green & silver ones and and fine glitter. I blew my pic up really big to try and identify the colours and sizes and have probably missed some.

Pretty stunning eh!! Here are some more shots, I did a bit of a gradient first and then went for a full coat. Well, these are on wait-list at QVC at the moment, and I can say for certain, they won't be getting mine back! All we need now is the summer!!
