This set by Nails Inc. is new for fall at Sephora. It contains four full-sized nail polishes in gorgeous creme-finish fall shades.
Charing Cross. A very bright, densely pigmented red. This is extremely eye-catching. It's not strictly a fall color, either. I can see this working really well in summertime, especially as a pedicure, and it's a great winter red as well. Versatile and really flattering. I've actually worn this twice in a row because I love how bright and bold it looks against my skintone.
Fenchurch Street. An orangey, caramelly, 'spiced pumpkin' type of shade. It has a tan or light brown base with a lot of orange and terracotta tone in it. Almost a suede type shade, but darker and more pumpkiny. In the same family as OPI Ginger Bells. This one looks like fall to me!
Paddington. A dark blackened teal. Or, in certain lights, a blackened grey-green. Vampy and dark but it doesn't look black. I like it because it reminds me of this:
St. Pancras. I can't tell you how many times I've called this St. Pancreas. Pancras. Pancras. Anyway... This is a deep vampy wine shade. It has more purple tones than Nails Inc. Victoria and it has a dense creme finish rather than a jelly finish. Very pigmented, no hints of a jelly finish at all.
The formula on these was beautiful. I had no problem at all with application. The shades were all dense and pigmented, almost completely opaque in one coat, but I do really thin coats so I used two for these colors. Drying time is average on these.
The shades are presented in a white box embossed with some pretty silver reflective designs.
Overall, great set of colors. The Nails Inc. creme formula is gorgeous and the shades in the set are all perfect for fall (and winter). Each shade retails for $9.50 individually, but the set of four is only $25 so you get a bit of a deal. I'd love to buy these as gifts for friends! The presentation is beautiful and the shades are all wearable and easy to apply.
This is available now at Sephora.

GORGEOUS. Simply beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteI *think* that those are all named for underground stations in London?
Although I'll ALWAYS associate Paddington with the bear ^.^ Mmm marmalade sandwiches!
Great post :D
I love these shades, especially Paddington.
ReplyDeleteThose are such gorgeous colors! I really like Charing Cross and St. Pancras!
ReplyDeleteFenchurch Street is absolutely a color for me!!!
ReplyDeleteThese all look great! I especially like Fenchurch Street....it's different and most definitely fall!
ReplyDeleteThese colors really are beautiful...but other than Charing Cross, they seem so reminiscent of Essie's fall collection even though they're not exactly alike (Fenchurch Street = Very Structured, Paddington = Power Clutch, St. Pancras = Carry on). Not that I'm complaining, these are my favorite kinds of shades, it's just something I noticed and wonder if you did too!
ReplyDeleteI used to call it St. Pancreas when I lived in the UK. Yes, it is just one ofcthose words! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Paddngton, butit reminds me of CQ Slate, which I a.d.o.r.e.!!
Gorgeous autumn colors!!
All these Nails Inc polishes are named after main line London stations... I live in London, as is my sister, but while I say St Pancras no problem, she STILL maintains it's St Pancreas!! Hmm.... Pancreas... Ha.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your swatches, Scrangie!
Aww, I love the names. Paddington is my favourite. :)
ReplyDeleteI have these and love them!! I have become addicted to Nails Inc-their formula and colors are divine-I hope Sephora gets more colors in!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww Paddington bear! My childhood!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I remember Paddington Bear! :D And, oh my gosh, I read "St. Pancras" as "St. Pancreas" at first. Well, that would certainly be a different name. :P
ReplyDeleteI read that as St. Pancreas at first too. If they had named it that, I definitely would have to buy it. ;p
ReplyDeleteI love all these shades!
ReplyDeleteI love Paddington and St. Pancras. This are perfect fall colors!!
ReplyDeletexoxox
Beertje Paddington! Memories =)
ReplyDeletePretty polishes as well, they have Fall written all over 'em!
I have this collection and love it too, have recently done a post about it (but your pictures are much more awesome than mine). Great post as usual xx
ReplyDeleteSt. Pancras is the only one I would probably get. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh...these are super pretty! And the price is definitely right. If I come across this I would for sure buy it.
ReplyDeleteLove this colors *.*
ReplyDeleteEspecially the last two <3
greetings :)
Thank you for posting this set! I've been waiting (im)patiently for it to go on sale at Sephora and I was hoping to see some swatches. Buying it STAT before it disappears. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI think Fenchurch Street is my favorite, though I like Paddington (the polish and the bear) a lot as well.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely need these. Some really pretty shades.
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches as usual. Thanks! I am an all out Nails Inc fan. Their creams are hard to be outdone. I think Butter London and DL have some dreamy creams too - but Nails Inc really is getting to be a fav of mine for their formula that is flawless & shiny!
