Nails Inc Victoria Victoria Beckham for Spring 2014 has arrived, despite the fact that we just started winter!
These two nail shades come in a unique limited edition bottle that is reminiscent of Japanese design. Or so the press release says, what do I know about Japanese design? 😉
I can tell you that the VVB bottles are kind of badass though. They are both really heavy (made from Venetian glass) have a matte texture and concave design. For some reason heavy stuff to me feels more luxe, so they definitely appear expensive to my eye. And you also get a frosted-glass peep-hole on each side with the actual nail color showing through, which is nice.
Bamboo White
Bamboo White is a bone colored creme. I did need three thin coats to get the best coverage but the polish itself was very smooth and nice. It’s not exactly a unique shade but it’s nice looking.
Judo Red
Judo Red is a bright tomato red creme. Actually it’s not really red it orange. This too had a really good formula and I only needed two coats. Again I find myself wishing it was more unique though.
Overall I love, love, love the bottles but the shades inside are just ok. I guess when you have twenty billion nail polishes it gets harder and harder to impress!
These are available online now and globally starting in February for a limited time.
What say you about these VVB shades?

I’ll be honest, I kind of want these just for the bottles… 😀 They’re just so chic!

They are really fabulous!
LOVE those bottles!

Ditto!
I love Nails Inc polishes! I really like the look of Bamboo White, but Judo Red is brighter than I would wear. Better for my toes in summer 🙂
Yes it’s a great summer shade.
I agree about liking the bottles, but I’d rather spend my $ on the actual polish. There are less spendy versions of those colors IMHO.
Totally understandable!
The bottles are really neat I like Judo Red the best. They would both look great with a neat top coat of some kind! (Maybe matte?!)
The bottles are beautiful so I can see why the polishes are more expensive. That white color looks very pretty and elegant!

I love the bottles. I think Bamboo White is nice and I’m not a fan of white polishes. The slight peach and mauve undertones I can see in the polish seem to make it a bit more wearable.
Judo would not look good on me but I appreciate the clarity of the shade.
I assume these were used for her Spring collection runway in 2015? Not 2014?
I don’t find those two shades very interesting. And, that surprises me considering they have a somewhat celebrity name attached to it.
I totally agree. Nothing earth shattering, but VB’s style is very classic and chic so the colors don’t really surprise me. I think as a collector, I have to have these bottles though! They are worth it just for that, IMO 😉
agree with what most poeple are saying here- more $$ in the formula and not the packaging, harrumph T-T
Puri´s last post……Yay?
Nails Inc seem to be changing all of their bottles to this shape. I see the appeal, but for me they are too chunky and big and heavy for regular usage. They are also upping their price by about 30% for the new bottles – presumably to cover the cost. It takes the brand out of my regular buy list unfortunately. Too bad, I love their polishes.
Like most other readers I LOVE the bottles, but wish that shades had been more unique. They are on the super pricey side so I don’t think I’ll be getting them but if they turn up under a tree, I’ll be delighted! 😉
Lou´s last post…Even more Christmas stamping
Not ugly, but boring. PASS!
The bottles are cute but the shades are beautiful! Surprisingly, I don’t own anything like them in my stash lol
Besides the packaging .. Are the worth the $$ ?
What are some comparable dupes to these colors?
yes, dupes please!! if you’re going to say ‘this isn’t a unique colour’ maybe mention some ones that it looks like???
