Nails Inc. Sugar House Lane - Swatches and Review

Good morning! This morning I have one of the Nails Inc. Special Effects Sprinkles polishes to show you - Sugar House Lane. I'm not a huge fan of the Sprinkles line, but this one is my favorite and I actually wore it for a full mani for a few days, which is saying something for me.

Sugar House Lane is an opaque glitter polish. Taupe base with black, white and silver microglitter. The first coat gives sparse glitters and the second coat gives the glitter payoff. I used two coats for opacity. The base actually covers the glitter pieces for the most part, which is actually something I like. Probably most people will be disappointed that the glitters are somewhat muted - especially the silver ones. Again, something I like, something most people won't. This is a very top coat hungry polish. I first used two coats of Poshe and it still had that bumpy feel. I followed up with a coat of Gelous, which made it *almost* smooth to the touch, but not quite. The final look reminded me of a Corian kitchen countertop.

What do you think of this one? Which of the Sprinkles line is your favorite?

A limited selection of Nails Inc polishes are available through Amazon.com or Sephora.com for around $9.50 in the US and the entire line is available through Nails Inc's own site nailsinc.com for around £11.00. Nails Inc. doesn't ship to the US so I'm ever thankful to my UK buddies for keeping me supplied.

  2. I don't like how the glitter is so buried. It looks cool but not sure I would purchase it. I love how it reminds me of the Mexican cookies and cream paletas though lol

  5. I haven't worn this one yet, but I have a feeling it will end up being my favourite from the Sprinkles line — it definitely is from the swatches I've seen. I just think it's so unique, a taupe base with neutral glitters! I haven't even seen that from an indie brand. And I like how some of the glitter hides under the base, I think it adds depth.

    Your swatches make me want to get this out of my untrieds and wear it!
