'Kate Spade New York by Nails Inc' nail polish review

I recently bought this month's GLAMOUR (UK) magazine. I have to admit, one of the factors that encouraged me to make the purchase (okay, maybe the sole factor), was the fact that it came with a free bottle of nail polish (Nail Inc) worth £11! And since the magazine was only £2, it didn't mind spending it.

The full polish is available in four different shades: black, silver, gold and red. I chose the red one, because I have such a penchant for the colour. It's a 10ml bottle, which is about standard size (I think). I was a little worried that the size would be compromised.


I used a standard basecoat and two coats of colour. This picture was taken a day after I had applied it and as you can see, it's already starting to chip. Which is actually not too bad for me, as I tend to find my polish chipping right away.

When applying the nail polish, I found it glides on really well, almost too well; I found it difficult to not get it messy, especially with the shape and size of the lid. I like the colour, but I find that in artificial light, it looks a bit, well cheap, which is a bit disappointing. I've now worn the polish quite a few days and have found it's chipped quite considerably on some nails.

Overall, I like it, it's a nice colour and fair quality. But would I buy it again at full price? No.

Thanks for reading.

  1. That looks really pretty. I don't actually own any Nails Inc polishes. It's a shame that it chipped so quickly!

  2. Thank you. :) I don't own any other ones either. Actually, a friend bought two, gold and silver, and wanted to try them out. Since I was the only one around with bare nails at the time, I 'lent' her my pinky fingers and was surprised to see that while the gold nearly came off in a day, the silver one lasted well for a few days.
