Nails Inc Leather Effect Swatch Spam

Greetings All!

So this textured trend shows no sign of dying down in the near future. I do like textured nails, but not so much the sparkly offerings from brands like OPI and Zoya. I've decided I like my texture a little bit duller lol. My favourite textured polishes by far are the Nails Inc Leather effects. I got the black and tan all the way back in January, and recently I welcomed three more into my collection!

Pembroke Square is a really dark, deep purple, almost black but with a lovely tinge. This is 2 coats.





I love it. It's so dark and moody, which fits the leather effect really well I think. The texture is smoother than a full on textured polish - it's sort of soft, and feels really nice to touch! You may recognise this particular bottle, as it came from The Crumpet's most recent destash! I'm quite glad it isn't her cup of tea, because I think it's fabulous!

Old Compton Street is a pretty, soft grey. 2 coats.





I'm not sure if this one is meant to be softer, or if it just takes a long time to dry, but the texture of it was very soft and smooth, actually quite a bit like fine leather, which is very nice, but a bit weird! It's a really nice warm grey shade too.

Shoreditch Lane is burgundy red, and I've had my eye on this one for quite a while! 2 coats.





All three of these polishes were on my wishlist, but I probably wished a little harder for this one. I love the colour, and the overall effect is just wonderful! Leather nails always make me feel a bit badass lol.

I got all three of these polishes from Facebook groups who buy sell and swap polish. It's an extremely efficient way to remove all the money from my bank account! Seriously though, they have everything. It's done a great amount of damage to my wishlist - yay!

  1. My grey NI leather is same - i stick to one careful coat to preserve the textured feel as its much smoother than the others!

  3. I do like a textured polish, you might like the Maybelline Color Show Vintage Leather ones. They have a subtle effect, although a couple have flakies in them. Love the Shoreditch Lane too, I;ve a bit of a soft spot for dusky reds...

    1. Me too! I also have a Claire's polish that is quite similar - I might do a comparison post.
