Did you know that the British brand Nails Inc. is now available at Sephora? Well now you do!
I recently had the opportunity to review some of their Special Effects 3D Glitter Nail Polish and am liking what I have seen so far!
They come in four colors: Bloomsbury Square (clear with purple glitter and hunky red glitter), Connaught Square (clear with blue glitter and chunky purple glitter), Fitzroy Square (clear with green glitter and chunky teal glitter) and Sloane Square (clear with silver glitter and chunky iridescent glitter).
Now when you read “chunky” above they do mean chunky. They are not smooth feeling glitter polishes by any means. BUT I have to say I think one of these might be my very favorite glitter polish ever!
Connaught Square, Sloane Square
Connaught Square
Connaught Square
Connaught Square is JAM PACKED with blue small glitter and larger royal purple glitter. I absolutely love this color combination for some reason and love the way it looks. This is some seriously thick nail polish but not too hard to work with. I love how incredibly opaque it gets because a thin watery glitter polish just isn’t going to cut it. I like maximum coverage and this definitely has it. I did use three coats here but you could do two. As mentioned above, it’s not very smooth but not overly gritty feeling either. If you use a nice thick top coat it will probably cut most of that gritty feeling.

Sloane Square
Sloane Square
Sloane Square is a smokey grey/silver glitter with large iridescent chunks. I do like this one also but don’t think it’s as interesting or unique as Connaught Square is. It had really great coverage also, but not quite as opaque. Three coats will still give you a lot of coverage.
Sloane Square
Overall:
Good stuff if you like glitter! I really love Connaught Square and would definitely be interested in checking out the two I haven’t seen yet. These are a pain in the rear to remove, as with most glitters.
Availability: Sephora
Pricing: $9.50
What do you think about these two colors?

Gotta have these! P. S. I found out how to get your blog e-mailed to me…yayyy!
Glad you found the email link – it makes it a lot easier for many. I wish more bloggers realized it’s a great tool for followers and should be offered on their templates.
I love it and look forward to it every day! YAY!
scrangie recommends painting a cheap clear or not fav topcoat over glitter right before removal to help get is softened…gonna try that next, anyone have experience with this?
I’ve tried doing this a few times, and it definitely works very well for me!

I am sooooo glad we have Nails Inc finally here in the US! Zillion of great shades!
I checked at the Sephora that just opened near me in the mall, but when I was there a couple weeks ago they just had $OPI and not Nars or Nails Inc. Major bummer!
I checked these out online and was only immediately interested in Sloane Square because I felt it was least like others that I have. Turns out I like Connaught Square better; it’s amazing! Reminds me of the blue Milani one-coat glitter, but more awesome, lol.
I love it! So beautiful!
Those are first Nails Inc that truly interest me.
Ooh, they are absolutely stunning *covets*
Connaught Square is beckoning me…
I love the look, but the chunky factor makes me wonder how insanely difficult these will be to remove. A follow up post would be great in that regard

Hi The Lacquered Lady,
I already mentioned that in the post actually. They are a pain to remove like most glitters!
Oops! I must have missed that! Thanks for covering all the bases. I was in awe of your lovely photos!

These look fun! I didn’t see Nails Inc at my Sephora yet. I love the way they look but thinking about the removal makes me cringe. Sloane Square also reminds me a little of Orly’s Rock Solid with chunkier glitter. I need to see these in person ASAP lol
I really want to get some of these polishes! I hate being a poor student. 🙁
some polishes are worth saving up for!

These are spectacular glitters. I will be ordering these in the future.
I have Sloane Square and love it, but it is WAY chunky, huh? Also, mine smelled really funky :/ Kinda like moth balls! I love Connaught Square on you!

I just got Nyx Girls Frizz Spots, which is similar to Sloane Square. It has the same holo glitter, but in a sheer jelly base. I like Sloane Square, but I think I’ll make due with the Nyx Girls, since there’s no Sephora near me.

very pretty – love Sloane Square! I have Franklin’s Row which is kind of like a smooth version of Connaught Square.
I have both, but have only worn the blue so far, which got a lot of attention. I also bought a purple glitter which is iine for me to wear. I love the colors and the holo glitter. So pretty!
OMG I neeeeed the black one !! It’s Fantastic !!

I wish Nails Inc. was available at ALL Sephora locations. I picked up Bloomsbury Square when I was in Cleveland with a friend and I just love it. I love how dense the glitter is, wish I had picked up more than one now 🙁
I love these, very fun!!!
