Couture Nails Inc Carnaby St

I am really excited about this post! I got a birthday present from my sister-in-law and I was completely bowled over! It was a nail polish from Nails Inc but it was extra special because it was personalised using the Couture service.

First - check out this gift box: so cute and so classy. I was excited just to open it!



And what did I find inside - this gorgeous, bright, happy nail polish with a jeweled cap! It was nothing like I'd seen before.
The colour is called Carnaby St which is super cute as that is one of my favourite streets in London.


I was examining the nail polish bottle -- and who wouldn't, it's simply adorable -- and I was surprised to find a personalised sticker on the bottom. It was then I realised that Couture Nails Inc must be a personalised nail polish service.


But before I get into that, let me just get into a swatch of this beautiful nail polish. I've always been wary of yellow nail polishes, I worry that it would make me look like I was jaundiced. I'm glad that I was given this then as I don't think I would have chosen it on my own. It looks like a perfect shade of yellow in the bottle (it's described as a brilliant canary yellow on the Nails Inc website). The colour translates perfectly onto the nail. The formula is creamy and easy to worth with - I achieved an opaque finish in 2 coats.

I think this would be great pop of colour when summer comes along :)


Now onwards about the personalised service. I just had to do some research on it because it is a great gift idea.

On the Couture tab of the website, it allows you to pick the colour of polish you want, add the cap of your choice, name the shade and personalise gift box with stickers. It costs £20 which might seem a bit much for a bottle of nail polish but it makes a great gift and it would surely delight the recipient (as it did me!)
Unfortunately they only deliver within Great Britain so that's disappointing for me as I won't be able to utilise the site but hopefully it will be a great gift idea for you all living on that side of the pond!

Have you used the Couture Nails Inc before? What do you think of yellow nail polishes?
