Swatch: Nails Inc - Optic Wave (2015)

Nails Inc and Colgate recently got together again, when you bought the toothpaste you got a free nail polish. The deal was going on in the UK in Boots. This time around there are three polish choices, this one - a vivid blue cream, a baby pink cream and a orange based red cream.



While this years polishes have the same names as last year the colours (red and blue) are different. I don't know about the pink one. You can see 2014's Optic Wave here.

The plate itself comes in a cardboard slip, and as with other MoYou London plates it comes backed with thick plastic which stops the sharp edges.

The plate itself is 12.5cm by 6.5cm and comes with a blue plastic protective covering which you remove before using.

This is the images stamped on to paper, I used Barry M's Blue Chameleon for stamping. All of the images stamped crisp and cleanly first time.

Pick n' Mix 52 Week Challenge: Neon + Indie

I was completely inspired by Madam Luck's nails I saw on her instagram, and while I don't think my version worked as well as hers, sometimes it is good to try something you wouldn't usually.

I used Polished by KPT - Color Therapy, which is an indie polish which happens to also be a neon. I prefer it over a black base, and it is also UV.
