There's a new collaboration in the nail world, and it is fantastic. Victoria Beckham teamed up with Nails Inc. to release two new shades that draw inspiration from her Victoria, Victoria Beckham SS15 collection: Judo Red and Bamboo White. They don't come cheap, but I think they are worth your consideration. Let's talk why.
The first selling point? The bottles are AMAZING. If you are a sucker for packaging like I am, you will go bananas over these bottles. The matte black and matte white finishes feel soft to the touch. The bottles are incredibly weighty and feel like they are of a very high quality. The design features a removable overcap with a smaller round brush underneath, and the brush itself is very wide (which I personally love in a brush).
And, lest you're worried about not seeing the polish color, they've cut out a handy window on the sides of the bottles for peeking.
Okay, so the bottles are nice. But what about the formula?
It's totally, really great.
For this blocked nail art, I started out with a base of Bamboo White. As I applied my first coat, I actually gasped in happiness. It goes on remarkably smoothly and evenly, and covers perfectly in just two coats. It's really shiny too, for those of you (crazy people) that don't use topcoat.
Judo Red tells the same tale. Here it is alone at two coats, no topcoat. It leans heavily towards orange, without being unflattering.
US residents can pick these up from Nails Inc. and Sephora. UK residents can shop via Selfridges.
These colours are so cool and they look fab blocked together like that!

I've seen these polishes swatched all over the blogosphere and yet I still clicked on your post because your nail design with them is so chic, simple and stunning. Always fawning over your work girl!!! <3
ReplyDeleteLove the design you've created with these, but they're just a little too spendy for me. So glad to hear it's got a good formula though!
ReplyDeleteTotally understandable. Thank you about the blocking!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you Amy! That means a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteThe packaging is so Victoria, classy, and consequently I like it. You created the perfect manicure to go with the colors and the whole concept. Brava!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree, the polishes and the packaging are both so classy.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done but there is no way I'd buy the polish at the price they are charging! am I the only one that thinks this?
ReplyDeleteI agree that the price is steep for polishes that may not be that unique...BUT...those bottles are just fabulous!! Gorgeous nail art too! :)
ReplyDeleteThe price seems wayyy too high for colours I can get at a cheaper price but your nail design is so chic I'd suck it up and buy them. And I'm for good packaging.
ReplyDeleteThe packaging is totally amazing. You really need to set yourself apart these days, so these really draw me in. Have a great weekend & happy new year.

Well balls. These are quite chic and lovely. Jolly good! Hahaha. Sorry, that was my sad attempt at an accent lol.
ReplyDeletePricey but nicey!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I love the bottles. Was your mani inpired by the Gwen Stefani collection from OPi? It had a similar block style mani on the campaign promotions. I love how mod and edgy that looks. Loving the beautiful orange-red polish.
ReplyDeleteAmazing colors. Love your color block patterns too.
