Nails Inc. Petticoat Lane

With flash, 2 coats.

This is what it looks like with no artificial light or sunlight!

This is another of the polishes I received in the Lucky Dip, so it’s a discontinued polish, but I’m fairly sure there have been a few floating around on eBay recently. This is basically a raspberry coloured jelly, packed with pink glitter suspended in the polish. It applies beautifully and dries ever so fast! I am slowly becoming addicted to Nails Inc. polishes, largely for their fast-drying properties! I’ve had my eye on a few raspberry jellies recently so I was more than pleased when I opened my Nails Inc. package to find this beauty! My only qualm is that it looks quite dark when it isn’t in direct light, but it is gorgeous and I love it, this is my second wear in 2 weeks! It kind of reminds me of the O.P.I. Katy Perry polish in The One That Got Away, but with more, and larger, glitter.
I didn’t fancy the glitter removal challenge after the first day of wearing it so attempted a leopard print design…

Looks alright in flash, right?

Here is what it looked like 90% of the time, so dark that it just looked a mess! Such a shame because I love the picture in flash. So I ended up removing it anyway. For the leopard prints I used Boots 17 Lasting Fix ‘Peacock’, and the little unknown gold polish I got in a makeup set for my birthday (which is actually of surprisingly good quality – PrettyPink from Argos, and BUAV approved!) and my trusty Rio Nail Art Pen in black.

So my lesson is learnt, this polish is not really one for the nail art pile, but I’m happy wearing it alone anyway so I don’t mind too much!

Hope you are all well, I have a suspected stomach ulcer so I’m feeling a bit rubbish atm, hence my absence on here and Twitter!
