Nails Inc. Colour Collection Swatches

Over the past few years, I've developed quite the little love affair with Nails Inc. It all began during my trip to London back in 2008, when I had some time at Heathrow and decided to get a pedicure at the Nails Inc. station. My life was immediately changed when I discovered the amazingness that is the whole brand -- gorgeous colors, fabulous application and incredible lasting power!

In the next couple of weeks, I'll be bringing you swatches of some of the most recent colors and collections! Up first: The Nails Inc. Colour Collection.

A shot of the entire collection, in the pretty packaging!

Elizabeth Street is a pale, creamy pink. It takes a few coats to build this one to opaque, and it's my least favorite in the collection only because I'm really not a pale pink fan. But if you're a fan of colors like Essie Ballet Slippers or Essie Mademoiselle, this one is for you.

Jermyn Street is a creamy, chocolatey taupe. If you're a brown polish fan, this is definitely a good one for you! I think it's pretty unique -- I have a lot of brown nail polishes, and none of them are like this one at all. Completely opaque in two coats.

Porchester Square is a taupe-tinged dove grey. Again, very unique and completely opaque in two coats. I like the mushroom/taupe hybrid take on greige here.

The Thames is a deep charcoal. Like the others, opaque and creamy in two coats. Definitely a standout from the collection for me. I think it looks a lot like Zoya Kelly, but just a little lighter. A perfect color for fall.

Overall, I really liked this collection. Each polish is a different take on the neutral trend, and the application is easy for all four -- no streaks, smudges or goopiness. My two favorites are Porchester Square and The Thames, only because I tend toward grey and taupe nail polishes in general, but all four are extremely pretty.

The Nails Inc. Colour Collection retails for $25 at sephora.com.
