Self Made Mermaid Duo - Nails Inc

Hi lovelies, 

I’m bringing you the last of my Nails Inc Duo’s today. 

It’s called ‘Self Made Mermaid’ and comes beautifully presented in a teal box featuring cute holo mermaid tail scales. 

These sets really are a perfect gift to give to someone who loves nail polish. 

‘Ocean Ever After’ is the first shade from this lovely duo. 

An outrageously beautiful sea of turquoise with a gold sparkle. 

This easy to apply foil finish took 2 coats for a perfect opaque coverage.

Next up ‘Mermaid Parade’!

Stunning iridescent shifts in a multitude of ocean hues, aquamarine, gold & pink to name a few...

It’s a delicate somewhat sheer polish that surprised me by the dramatic change of appearance in different lights. 

First photograph is taken indoors and gives an opaque look. 

The next shows the translucent effect of this beautiful polish taken outdoors in the sunshine. 

Again 2 coats was applied in these swatches. 

If you missed the last reviews, you can can read them here -

Champagne Shine

The Future is Fairy

All three duos are available on the Nails Inc website, they retail at £15.

Nails inc polishes generally retail between £11 - £15 for one colour, so it’s a fair price for two! Go treat yourselves...

There have been some new releases in recent months which I hope to bring to you very soon.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading, I’ll be back with another post shortly.

The Future is Fairy Duo - Nails Inc

Hello there,

I hope your weekend has been good one.
Back in the Summer, I wrote a post about Nails Inc Champagne Shine Duo...

I had hoped to follow up soon after with reviews of two more of their Stunning Sets which have became MASSIVELY popular. 
Unfortunately I’ve had months of illness which is a frequent issue as I suffer with multiple health problems which have a huge impact on my life. I never got around to typing up the continuations until now. 

So today I’m following up with a review of The Future is Fairy Duo!

The first shade is Don’t Give A Flutter. 

A Shell Pink iridescent polish. 

It’s pale, pretty and perfect if your looking for something subtle. 

Gorgeous for wedding nails. 

It actually takes me back to my teens, times spent borrowing my mums nail polishes, shell bases were all the rage back then. 

Nails Inc brush is round, it’s easy to use, polish glides on smoothly and even which is a must for applying pearl or similar bases. My nails are slim so I find I can get away with 1-2 strokes. Best brush ever!

I applied 2 coats which offered the perfect coverage. 

Second up is Fairy Freckles.

This clear polish contains irregular pieces of holographic flakes which look like dazzling jewels embedded into my manicure! 

This polish can be used on its own or as a topper. I’ve used it as a topper over Don’t Give A Flutter. 

I applied just 1 coat which was enough to give the effect I desired.

I think you’ll agree the result is incredibly pretty. 
It will be interesting to see what results are obtained over other shades.

Down to the nitty gritty, these polishes retail at £15. The price is a little on the steep side if you like a bargain brand. However for the beautiful shades, quality and quantity you are getting I think it’s well worth it. 

Nails inc polishes generally retail between £11 - £15 for one colour, need I say more...

Base Coat - OPI Nail Envy

Top Coat - Seche Vite 

What are your opinions of these cute little boxes of loveliness?
There's one more more duo to come.

A-England Nail Polish Review & Offer

Hi Lovelies,

I have a review of A England today. 

A Wonderful British, Nail Polish Brand I came across on Instagram last year. 

Plus there’s a special offer on their website, not to be missed!

A England is fast becoming favoured by nail polish enthusiasts for their many Enchanting Collections.

Allow yourself be whisked away into a world of Queens & Castles, Legendary Myths to Heavenly Quotes. The brand best renowned for its use of phenomenal holographics. 

If you follow me on Instagram @paintedbypinky, you’ll have seen the following swatches a while ago, I have many to feature, although I’ve been away for so long due to illness - yep again.  

First up is ‘Kalinka’ from The Russian Soul Collection. 

My first A England polish. A very beautiful silver shade with a lilac shift that offers a subtle rainbow holo.

‘Waltz of the Flowers’ from The Russian Soul Collection. 

What a Spectacular Shade...

An intense purple that’s brimming with tiny holos which come to life with the slightest of light. They dance & sparkle with such clarity on the nails.

‘Symphony in Blue & Silver’ from Sargent’s Vision Collection. 

Sparkling holos in a blue icy delight! A lovely wintery colour, that I’m going to be wearing lots this season. 

The 1st photo is taken in indoors the second with a flash!

‘Symphony in Green & Gold’ from Sargent’s Vision Collection. 

A Peaceful Prettiness that’s so very fitting for Springtime Manicures!

The 1st photo is taken in natural light so doesn’t show the beautiful holographic particles in their full glory... 

The next is taken with a flash! OMGee Mesmerising holos I’m sure you’ll agree!

All of these swatches have taken 2 coats of polish over base coat with a top coat to finish. 

The brush is lovely to use! The formula spot on, I highly recommend trying this polish if you haven’t already, I truly adore them all. 

So here where I bring you the good news!

2019 Less Bitter, More Glitter

I’d like to wish my readers A Happy, Healthy 2019 that’s Full of Fun & Sparkle!

I had a lovely Christmas Day with my family, received some gorgeous gifts and welcomed a new addition to the family, Ffion the Dachshund.

It was exciting to open my 1st Beauty Advent Calendar and of course it had to be Nail Polish! The Ciaté Mini Mani Month...

OK, so it is from Christmas 2017 which I grabbed for under £20 in the sales but do I care? Hell no!

It was so hard keeping all year and not peeking!

I had to share this fabulous quote from

Day 5 ‘Less Bitter, More Glitter’ 

What a great motto to start a New Year 💫

The shade in the box is Locket.

It’s a Stunning Translucent Silver packed with Glitters in varying shapes & sizes from tiny dots to larger hexagonal pieces. 

I’ve applied 2 coats for a semi opaque coverage. The brush is nice to use, offering an even application. 

These Mini’s contain 5ml of polish...

Base Coat - OPI Nail Envy Original

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Everyone loves a cute pic right? So here’s Ffion cuddling into my warm PJ’s 🖤

Love & Hugs,

Jenny x
