Urban Decay NAKED Nail Polish Set


I recently purchased the UD Naked nail polish set when I seen this gem on the Sephora website. And as a nail polish I have no regrets. This isn't a set to buy to do professional nails but it is a fun set to own if you wanna match your Naked eye makeup to your nails.

The Urban Decay Naked Nail polish set comes with 6 fabulous colors that represent similar shades found in the first UD Naked Palette. The nail polish surprisingly looks ALOT like the palette color and I'm pretty impressed with the overall quality and color match to the actual Naked palette.



 The nail polish shades featured include:
  • Naked
  • Sidecar
  • Smog
  • Toasted
  • Hustle 
  • Creep





Overall I really like this set. Like I said, it isn't for pros but it's perfect for any nail polish lover like myself.


Below are some swatches just in case you decide to purchase a set for yourself! Plus some additional photos of how they compare to the Naked palette!!

(From L to R: Naked, Sidecar, Smog, Toasted, Hustle, Creep)

Nails inc. Magnetic Nail Polish



Tonight I was looking to finally do my nails and decided upon my lovely magnetic nail polish. I completely forgot that I had this gem stashed...and believe it or not had not even been used yet. I know I have another review about the gray color but lets see some of the purple variety. My Nails inc. polish came from Sephora and cost a pretty penny, about $15 bucks to be exact. However despite the price I can say this is the best magnetic polish I've used to date. Most other magnetic nail polish is made so cheaply and leave my nails with a tacky finish but Nails inc. leaves me with a flawless finish that's perfect for my perfectionist qualities. Definitely worth the splurge. This blog shows pictures of the color "House of Parliament", a beautiful purple sheen with a gorgeous shine...no top coat even needed! Enjoy the photos of my late night manicure!!






Pros:

  • Unique
  • Unusual appearance
  • Minimal nail art skills needed




Cons:
  • There are minimal instructions...the woman at Sephora told me how to apply the polish. Which requires a base coat, LIGHT first coat of the magnet polish until dry, then a heavy coat of the magnet polish and immediate covering of the nail with the magnet for 15 seconds, and lastly a top coat.




Thanks for visiting!
