A Simple NOTD


Hello! So on Wednesday I was going out to meet a friend for coffee in the morning, and I painted my nails before I dashed out, so I thought I'd share! I used Nails Inc's South Molton Street, a very sheer pink that says "my nails, but prettier" I feel like it doesn't add a great deal of colour at all - I'm wearing 2 coats and it's still very sheer - but unusually I actually quite like that. It makes your nails just look perfected and groomed without being statement at all. You know the sort that don't stand out, but when you're holding up your coffee cup your friend compliments them (true story). It's a great colour for if you want to keep your nails looking nice if you're not allowed to wear polish at work,because it looks so subtle and natural noone will notice, but your nails will look beautiful at the same time. I love looking at them too! They look so pretty, all shiny and the perfect natural pink! Something else I was pleased with was the drying time, in way less than half an hour the two coats were completely dry and hardened, not just that annoying dry stage where they're touch dry but smudge everywhere under the slightest application of pressure when you try and pull on your jeans. The only negative thing I can find to say about the polish is that it doesn't take much to chip it, saying that though, I didn't put on a base or top coat because I was in a rush, so that's partly my fault. So yes, I whole heartedly recommend this shade if you want a subtle, natural, but groomed look to your nails, I think it's great and I can see it's a shade I'll be reaching for again and again!




Have you tried Nails Inc South Molton Street? What did you think of it? What is your favourite subtle nail shade to wear?
