Nails Inc Sweets Way & Pudding Lane


I'm afraid you are mistaken; this post is not in fact about food. If you thought it was about a delicious pudding, I do apologise for leaving you feeling hungry.

Some of you may have read my Nails Inc Sugar House Lane post, I promised to show you some more shades from the Nails Inc Sprinkle collection.

So, if you had been waiting to see Sweets Way and Pudding Lane in the flesh then the wait is over!


Sweets Way:




Pudding Lane:



In dim lighting these two shades complemented each other very well, however in day light I'm not so sure. Nevertheless, they don't leave my pale skin looking sullen which is always a bonus!

Anyone else think Pudding Lane would look amazing with a tan?

Nails Inc Sugar House Lane

I love to have a cupcake with butter cream frosting with sprinkles on top; however, I would much prefer a calorie free sweet treat. So, when I saw the Nails Inc Sprinkles polishes I grabbed them quicker than you could say 'cupcake'.


The Sprinkles collection features four eye-catching shades. These nail varnishes are described as being special effect, and they truly are. Each shade contains mattified glitter particles, giving us the impression of sprinkles. While the description doesn't do any justice to these polishes have a look at the picture of Sugar House Lane, it's different from anything I've ever used!


I'm wearing Sugar House Lane which is a pale mushroom grey with monochrome sprinkles. The other looks available are:

Sweets Way - Pale blue with pastel blue, pink and white sprinkles
Pudding Lane - Teal blue with navy and gold sprinkles
Topping Lane - Rose pink with fuchsia, silver and blue sprinkles

The look is very easy to get, simply apply like any normal nail varnish. It's easy to get out the bottle and the particles attach well to the brush, there was no fussing around. To achieve an opaque coverage I applied two thin coats.

The product dries very quickly onto the nail and lasts a long time, as you would expect as it contains glitter particles. This polish does dry matte so you will need to apply a top coat to achieve a glossy look. However, if you like the matte look then there is no need to apply a top coat especially as the glitter particles are not rough.

(Sorry my nails aren't in the best condition!)

Once again Nails Inc have out done themselves with their creativity, to be honest they can do no wrong in my book.

I haven't got a favourite from the Sprinkles collection because I've fallen in love with them all, so I'm sure there will be a few posts popping up showcasing the other shades.

What do you think of this? Is this a unique look or just a different take on glitter nail polish?

Nail Jewellery From Nails Inc.

Have you ever wanted to adorn your nails with varnish that looks just like jewels?

Now you can, thanks to the invention of 'nail jewellery'. 


This revolutionary formula comes from the brand Nails Inc, internationally known for creating the hottest colours every season.

Nail jewellery is a nail varnish created with hand cut particles which create faceted fragments, creating an effect reminiscent of little jewels.

I purchased the Burlington Arcade Nail Jewellery, which is the silver version from the nail jewellery range. The other shades available include Royal Arcade (bright blue), Princes Arcade (hot pink) and Piccadilly Arcade (emerald green).

As far as I aware, this product is unique. Although, I'm sure cheaper versions will begin to appear on the market soon.

This product is simple to use and has the ability to create an interesting finish to any plain nail varnish. For a striking and dramatic effect apply a coat of the Burlington Arcade Nail Jewellery to dark colours, as I did. Or, for a more muted design apply to neutral colours. The key to this product is experimenting and finding what works best for you.


Similar to any nail polish, this will begin to chip after a few days. Admittedly, the staying power is better than a normal nail varnish but not as long-lasting as glitter.


Burlington Arcade Nail Jewellery is available online and in selected department stores for £11, which I believe is a small price to pay for a  product that is so versatile, creates an impression and is able to change the look of any outfit.

Do you like this look?
