Hi everyone 🙂
OMG it’s May already! This year is flying by!
May is one of my favourite months, I get all excited about the summer that is round the corner! For that reason, I refuse to get disheartened by the current chilly British weather by adding colour to my make up, nails and clothes-law of attraction and all that jazz…
So I was walking through Fenwick looking for summer-ish make up products when I saw them… The Nails Inc counter featuring their Gel Effect range.
Now let me tell you that I don’t have much patience when it comes to doing my nails which means a) they never look particularly great b) I really need products that dry up fast. I have tried quite a few and have eventually found a few nail polishes that suit my impatient nature but I still can’t fully trust that statements like ‘Gel Effect’ would have the same result on me as they have on Alexa Chung!
They had taster products though so I tried it on one of my nails and then walked away from their counter. A couple of minutes later I had a look at the painted nail and it was all dry and shiny like I had actually had gel manicure done ! I was so impressed that I went back and bought the Chiltern Street Shade as I was looking for a baby pink shade for ages and this looked like just what wanted.
I couldn’t wait to go back home and paint my nails to verify the impressive result it had on that single nail.
First of all I was a bit worried about removing the nail polish from that nail as I wasn’t sure that the gel effect meant it would be more difficult to remove it. I was very happy to see that it can be removed as easily as any other nail polish-no hassle!
I then applied two coats (even just one coat looks great) and da-da! Gel nails by me in my living room! They look professionally done and the colour looks shiny and flawless! Also it’s been 3 days since I painted them and they haven’t chipped at all although I haven’t been careful with them-doing the dishes and glamorous things like that.
I have to say that they are definitely worth their £15.00 and I already have my eyes on these amazing shades:
Portobello Terrace
Charlotte Villas Coconut Bright
Covent Garden Place
Baker Street
Have you tried the Nails Inc gel effect? What do you think about it?

I’m currently wearing Kensington High Street Gel Effect, 4 days and no chips! I always wear the Gel Effects when I go on holiday, they’re the only polishes that last the whole week away.
It really is great! I doubted it would last for long but it actually does 🙂 x
Cuteeeee💚💛💚
