Nails Inc Bling It On Leather & Skulls - Leather Effect Polish

Oh my goodness I've totally fallen in love with the Nails Inc Leather Effect nail polish and hopefully you guys can see why! When I showed my friend a picture she said it looked a bit kinky! That's not the first thing that came to my mind (and not why it appealed to me) but I guess my mind doesn't work like hers (hahaha!) However, there is something very subversive about the look and it does appeal to my inner rock chick!


The texture is created with very fine sand mixed in with a black base; think of the texture that is created by a hungry glitter when the top coat has sunk in and you get an idea of how this polish works.  The effect does resemble leather but if it were a little less shiny it would be even more convincing. It dries really fast and 2 coats which is recommended is just perfect.


In the UK I have only seen sets with the polish, skull embellishments,  glue and orange stick, however, in the US I think you get studs too. This little set will set you back £19 but you can shop around for an even lower price. A bit pricey but worth every penny!

Black polish in itself is a bit of a statement but adding that texture and bling well...

  12. Love that! Ahhhh! I want it! Bit steep for me though... the texture is amazing.. I wonder if it's recreatable... I worry the sand may damage nails though?
