Nails Inc. Chalk Farm - Swatches & Review & Some Lynnderellas for Kicks

Follow my blog with Bloglovin


As I mentioned yesterday in my post on Holland Park Road, recently I've fallen in love with Nails Inc. polishes. I've reviewed several here already and have a TON more to do because once I got started, I couldn't stop! The formula is consistent, which is a huge plus for me. I like to know what to expect. Consistently good, I might add. I especially love their cremes. I've yet to get a Nails Inc. creme that doesn't have a smooth formula, easy application and opacity in 2 coats. 


Nails Inc. Chalk Farm was no surprise, formula-wise. Perfect. The color, however, was a bit of a surprise! It's the perfect periwinkle! You wouldn't think the perfect periwinkle shade would be so hard to find, but it was for me. VERY happy with Chalk Farm!  Photos are with two thins coats and no top coat. Afterwards, I played around a little with a few Lynnderellas.

My favorites over Chalk Farm are Bride of Franken because it's lovely and subtle. I ended up going with that one over all the nails in the end. I also liked Connect the Dots. But what doesn't CtD look good over?

NOTD: Zoya Kieko topped with Lynnderella Bride of Franken

I know I had a FANTASTIC Guest Post from Laurie with Dressed Up Digits earlier today, so I'm just going to do a quick drive-by and show you my mani for today.

Zoya Kieko (previously posted here) topped with Lynnderella Bride of Franken.  Usually I wear Bride of Franken over black and I love it that way, but today I decided to see what my current Kieko mani would look like with it.

Here's Zoya Kieko on its own...

And with Lynnderella Bride of Franken on top...

Lynnderella Bride of Franken - Swatches and Review

I'm late to the Bride of Franken party, but better late than never, right?

Lynnderella Bride of Franken

This evening I have Lynnderella's Bride of Franken to show you - over black. Bride of Franken has a translucent lavender base with fuchsia and blue micro-glitter, holographic micro-shimmer and small and medium-sized blue iridescent glitter pieces. I'm not sure of everything in it, obviously, but that's my best guess at a description. It's really gorgeous and everything in it works so well together to create an easy to apply layering polish.

I used Milani High Speed Fast Dry Black Swift as a base.

I used one quick coat of the black and two coats of Lynnderella Bride of Franken.

The above photos were with no topcoat. Still pretty smooth because Bride of Franken is smooth itself. Doesn't have that "chunky glitter" feel and the glitter pieces settle into the base nicely.

The next photos are with one coat of Seche Vite to finish it off.

Isn't she gorgeous!?

I haven't tried layering over any other colors yet, but give me time to play around and if I come up with something good, I'll post it for you!
