nails inc: clever things you didn't know about their polish

If the gorgeous array of shades wasn’t enough to sway you towards Nails Inc, these handy bottle hacks will.

Nails inc is an award-winning nail brand known for its luxury nail bars & beautiful polish colours that launched over 20 years ago by founder, Thea Green. They are stocked in all major luxury department stores, such as Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, and Fenwick. You can also find them at your favourite beauty stores online too, including insider beauty destination Sephora.

Their cool reputation is not only built on their ability to develop stunning of-the-moment-shades (and then give them witty names), but also on their exclusive product collaborations with the likes of Victoria Beckham, Diane Von Furstenberg and Alexa Chung.

Customers love that their products are 100% Cruelty-Free, and vegetarian friendly (they're not vegan friendly yet but are working towards it apparently).

These are all things you might already know about Nails Inc polish. But we recently discovered a few facts that you probably don't know and that will make achieving a professional-looking manicure easy peasy...

3 clever things you didn't know about Nails Inc polish

  1. Ever wondered why there are two lids? Turns out the top cap has been specially designed to act as a stand. Place your finger into the curved space to create a nifty finger rest, creating an even surface even when you’re on the go. Not to mention minimising the risk of sploshing a wayward blob of polish onto your coffee table.

  1. The base of the bottle is impressive too, giving you the chance to try your new shade before you buy. Just place your nail under the side of the bottle to see how the colour will look when painted. Clever, eh?

  1. Not stopping there, Nails Inc patented brush has been ergonomically designed to work with the shape of your nail. Super wide and perfectly flat, it minimises the number of strokes required.
