Diet Coke Nails Inc

Hello Ladies!

Hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine today :)

I nipped to Boots today on my lunch break purely to pick up a couple of the limited edition Nail Inc nail polishes free when you buy 2 bottles of Diet Coke....but I also found myself in Topshop too....Oppps!

The array of colours are fab and I was tempted to pick up all 4 shades...but on closer inspection 'New York' (hot pink) is identical to Nails Inc Shoreditch of which I have 2 bottles so really dont need a 3rd! 'Milan' (Red) is very similar to Nails Inc Beach so I resisted on those two but picked up 'London' which is a perfect Nude shade and 'Paris' a bold and vivid purple.

'London' is in the same family as metro chic and all of the the dirty grey/nude/brown/greyish tones. It is somewhere in the middle and a mixture of Nails Inc Bare and Nails Ic Jermyn Street as the photos below compare.

Left to Right: Nails Inc 'Bare'; Nails Inc Diet Coke 'London'; Nails Inc 'Jermyn Street'; Sephora OPI 'Metro Chic'.

Funny thing is I never drink Diet Coke..but now have 4 bottles! This is definately a clever marketing campagin i've been well and truely sucked in ahhhhh!

Diet Coke anyone?

Diet Coke Nails Inc Collection

Got an exciting email this morning that I would share with all you nail polish lovers! Nails Inc have collaborated with Diet Coke to create a limited edition City Collection, inspired by the four fashion capitals of the world – New York, London, Milan and Paris.

These limited-edition polishes are available in four gorgeous shades that are perfect for this season:

London- a perfect nude shade;

Paris - a bold and vivid purple

New York - a vibrant fuchsia pink

Milan - a fiery Italian red

The best part is they are free when you purchase two 500ml bottles of Diet Coke in selected Boots stores nationwide between 5th May – 30th June. Normally these polishes are priced at £10.50 so this really is a bargain! Not that I need any more nail polishes but these are too nice to miss up on! I have my eye on London and New York.


Which shade is your favourite?

Instyle Nails Inc Polishes

Thought I would share this brilliant offer with you....as we all love a freebie! InStyle Magazine have teamed up with Nails Inc again this year to create three exclusive summer shades. The three Nails Inc. polishes are the accessory to be spotted wearing this summer. Especially as Victoria Beckham, Agyness Deyn and Kim Kardashian have all been papped wearing identical colours. The partnership launches in the magazine's June Issue, which shall carry a free nail polish in a choice of three bespoke Instyle colours:
InStyle 'Beach', as seen on Kim, is a bright hot coral and perfect for showing off with a pair of peep-toe sandals.

InStyle 'Candy', as seen on Agyness, is a scrumptious on trend pastel pink;

InStyle 'Mink', as seen on Mrs Beckham, is a chic 'greige,' a combo of grey and beige, the colour of the season. Wear on short, 'squoval' (square with rounded edges) nails for instant wow.

I really rate Nails Inc polishes they are great quality and these colours are perfect for summer, I have my eye on 'mink' but i'm sure I will end up buying all three! Nails Inc polishes are normally £10.50 so for the cost of the £3.50 magazine it really is a bargain.The June Issue shall be out on sale on 28th April; in addition, readers will be entitled to 20% off all nails inc. online purchases, plus 20% off manicures and pedicures.
