After trying Nails inc. Leather Effect in Soho Mews last month, I completely fell in love with the texture and finish and was able to try it in a different shade, Shoreditch Lane. This is a gorgeous mulberry/ deep burgundy shade that is rich and full of colour! It is a bit darker in real life but still looks amazing on the nails!
The formula is very thick, creamy and is opaque in just 1 coat, something I love about this range of nail polishes! It means if you apply the polish well, you can have gorgeous leather effect nails in just 1 coat! In the picture I have applied 2 coats just to make sure the colour is opaque and even. When you first apply the polish it is glossy and looks like any other nail polish, but as the polish starts to dry the leather effect will come through. I think it is nice to have this sort of "guideline" to show you when your polish is touch dry! The drying time of Nails inc.'s polishes is quick which is another thing I like about this brand. With the Leather Effect polishes you should not apply a top coat afterwards as this will ruin the matte finish (your nails will have a bit of shine to them, but not too much). Of course this means the amount of time it lasts on the nails isn't great, mine chipped in about a day, so this is something to bear in mind. One thing I would recommend is a good base coat when you are wearing this polish. As the colour is quite dark and rich, it is possible it can stain your nails!
I absolutely love the Leather Effect nail polishes and think they look amazing on the nails! Even though they are part of the Nails inc. Spring Summer Trend, I think this polish would look great during the cooler autumn months.
Nails inc. Leather Effect nail polishes are available on the Lookfantastic.com website for just £10.80!

I'm not very keen on the black, I think it would look too harsh on my nails! But this shade and Soho Mews are both lovely! xx
DeleteLove this colour x

Deletewow I've never seen leather effect nail polish would love to give it a go though, looks good! xx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a try, I think the effect is really nice! xx
DeleteI loved your last review of the tan shade polish, and think the tan one looks a bit more like leather? Although this is still a lovely shade :) xxx
ReplyDeleteGemma ♥ | Miss Makeup Magpie
Yes I agree! I did notice that it wasn't as defined as the tan colour, maybe that's to do with the fact it's a darker shade? It still looks lovely on the nails :) xx
DeleteGorgeous colour! I think I like this effect, I know it sounds weird, but the effect itself it amazing. But I'm indesicive of whether or not I would be able to pull it off myself! Hehe, brilliant review :) xx
ReplyDeleteI think you would be able to pull it off :) The effect's quite subtle so it looks like a normal matte nail polish at a distance, but like leather close up! xx
DeleteI've never seen this before, looks really good too x
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous nail polish :) xx
DeleteI've been wondering what this nail effect looked like. Nice post!

DeleteI'm a massive nails inc fan and love how they dry really quickly and I love the colour as well, but I don't know if I'm a massive fan of the effect, it's an interesting one!

I don't think I'd like this. I'm not one much for textured effects on the nails. Every time I try something new, I usually end up hating it. The color is very pretty though.
