Westbourne Grove

Hello Possums!

As you may have seen in my previous posts, I have been rocking Union Jack nails for the past few weeks, but alas they became chipped beyond repair. So twas time to move on & repaint. I usually love a nude nail, but I felt I couldn't go straight back to something so blah without stopping off at a bright eye catching colour to see me through the weekend. So I settled on Westbourne Grove by Nails Inc.

Nails Inc describe this colour as a "show stopping neon yellow/orange". Show stopping? Yes. Neon? Yes. Orange? Yes. Yellow? No, I can't see it. I love Nails Inc, as they are fast drying & I usually only need one layer to achieve the perfect opacity. Perfect for me, as I tend to paint my nails on public transport! However, for this shade I used three layers, and I still think it looks too thin/streaky. Urgh. It dries with a  matte finish, which is nice, though I prefer a shiny finish (probably showing my age there!).

 

Overall, I'm not really a fan of this shade, and would not recommend it, as I'm sure there are other similar shades that are better quality.

Westbourne Grove retails at £11 (though got mine at £22 for three), and is available from department stores, Boots and online! It is part of the limited edition Nude & Neon Collection.

Do any of you guys own this? What do you think of it? Can you recommend anything similar?
