Nails Inc Nail Polishes Bare and Coral for Instyle Magazine

Last month I purchased 2 instyle magazines purely for the Nails Inc polish....i got the Coral shade and the Nude shade. The dark red shade i have already got - it looked very much like Nails Inc Victoria. I am a fan of Nails Inc polishes but i was very dispointed with these instyle polishes, they didnt seem as good quality, difficult to apply and went streaky. It needed atleast 2-3 coats to make them look OK.

So firstly, Coral - very messy to apply and difficult to work with. It needed 3 coats to look ok as it looked very streaky with 2 coats. Personally, i would keep this colour for the toes! It looks a bit too orange rather than coral i would of prefered more pinky tones. I'm yet to find the perfect coral nail varnish colour this summer!

secondly, bare - this wasnt as bad to apply compared to coral, but it still needed 2 coats. I was a little disapointed in the colour application when applied on my nails as it streaks slightly and the colour is exactly how lovely it looks in the bottle. Its a lovely nude light peachy pink colour. :)

We all love a freebie!

Hope everyones having a lovely weekend? Yesterday I bought 2 magazines - purely for the freebies on offer!! I got Marie Claire which came with a lovely hair treatment mask by James Brown London (Kate Moss hairstylist) worth £5- it smells gorgeous. I have seen these products before in Boots and I always wanted to try them so nows my chance! My hairs in really bad condition at the moment from over-dying and using too much heat so I'm hoping this will work a treat! 


I also got Instyle Mag which came with 2 Body Shop eyeliners, they came with a range of different colours (I got the colours shimmering steel and black). These are really good quality items and worth £7.50! Im tempted to pick up another magazine just to get 2 other colours as its a really good deal! So today I'm gonna put my feet up with a cuppa and have a read of my mags!

I would never normally by Instyle Mag to be honest - does anyone else buy mags purely for the freebies?
