Autumnal Saran Wrap with Nail Girls

I was sent this Nail Girls polish sample a while back but was waiting for the weather to get slightly cooler and Autumnal to wear it.

This mini has no name or number and I can't find it on the Nail Girls website. I think it may be part of the London 2012 Medal Collection although the colour is much more copper than bronze. Two coats of this buttery metallic is all you need for full opacity. It applies very smoothly and leaves no brushmarks at all.


I tried the Saran Wrap (cling film) technique for the first time but as I used a foil and a metallic, it turned out slightly different than if I had used two creme polishes. A foil doesn't seem to spread as much when the cling film is dabbed onto it. Here's what the gold and copper look like together. I also stamped the accent nail with BM04 and added loose glitter pieces to the tip:


Nail Girls full sized polishes cost £10.50 and you can purchase an array of colors and finishes diretly from their website.
For UK girls, Nail Girls also have a salon located in Islington and have a service called "nails On The Go" where they will come to you (0ffice, home, etc) if you are pressed for time.

Nail Girls - Emerald Green Shimmer & Golden Snowflakes

To be honest, the first time I heard of Nail Girls polishes was when nihrida reviewed one of their shades a few weeks ago.
Nail Girls is a British nail colour company based in Islington, London.Their products are 4 free and their package is recyclable. You can read more about how the company was set up here and about their various products and amazing range of colours here.



Overall, I am quite impressed with this polish. It applies really well and the consistency makes it very manageable. The brush is dense and picks up a good amount of polish. It's quite long because of the bottle size but that doesn't bother me at all, it didn't make application any trickier. I actually prefer it to short, stubby lids/ brushes. It's super pigmented and you could get away with one, well-applied coat.



I like the bottle shape as well, to stash them sideways and it's the same as POP Beauty and American Apparel. These polishes retail for £10.50 which is a bit on the higher side but based on the one I've tried, I suppose the quality justifies the price. I would definitely pick up another bottle if they have a sale.

I thought the colour was quite Christmassy as well so I added some gold glitter tips and stamped snowflakes :-)



The product was sent to me for review, by the company.
