NOTD: Nails Inc Clarges Street

Since I scored some Nails Inc polishes, I've finally gotten around to trying them on the nail. First up was Clarges Street - a shade I initially didn't love. In fact, my boyfriend is the one who picked it as my mani. In the bottle it looks so pink, but once it dries on the nail, it's a completely different color! It doesn't photograph too well, but I really love it.

It's an awesome hot pinky red - the bf's mom calls it "cerise". It manages to be a conservative-ish polish color, since it's red, but it's so bright and the pink in it makes it stand out. It's just really fun. It isn't at all demure, but I never felt self-conscious wearing it either.

The application on this stuff was excellent - it went on in one perfect coat. Unfortunately, I was getting tip wear after a day and chips after two. So, the formula is fabulous application-wise but has no staying power. Disappointing, because it looked perfect for the first day I wore it.
