NOTD | Nails Inc. 'The Tide Is High'

This little beauty was actually a freebie I picked up around a week ago; if you've seen my post on July's Magazine Freebies, you'll know that the July issue of InStyle (which is on sale during the month of June!) comes with a free full-sized Nails Inc. nail polish in one of four shades, inspired by 80s music. I went for 'The Tide is High', a gorgeous minty shade. A day off over the weekend gave me the perfect opportunity to try it out... I have to admit, these aren't quite as neat as I'd like - I'm a bit out of practice with the ol' nail polish brush!!

Photos show three coats and I'm still not 100% happy with the finish; as with many pastel nail polishes, this went on streaky with the first coat, and didn't really improve with the second, either. It's a really pretty shade and it'll look gorgeous with a tan if summer ever makes it to the UK, it's just a shame the formula lets it down a little!

Have you picked up any of the Nails Inc. freebies with InStyle this month? Do you like the look of 'The Tide is High'? What have you got on your nails at the moment?

    How cool that this was a freebie, but too bad the formula wasn't very impressive. I'm so rusty with painting my nails too, I haven't done swatches in ages for that reason!

    How neat that it came free with the magazine! Even though the formula isn't great at least it's a pretty color and you didn't spend any $$ on it. ;)

    Such a pretty colour! I know nails inc are pretty expensive though so I'd have expected the formula to be pretty spot-on (even if this one was a magazine freebie!)

    It's a shame the formula isn't great as the shade is beautiful!
