Kensington Caviar...Dahlings

I know this isn't the next cult product or anything new and exciting, but I just thought I would share with you my favourite nail must have. As a fan of all bright colours and glitters, when it comes to my nails I like them to stand out and look immaculate. I'm not too fussed about shape as I tend to file mine square and short, its the colour application for me that has to be pristine. If there is any sort of smudge, bubble or overlap I have to take it off and start again. So because of this I tend to have to change my varnish every three days because chips are a HUGE no no for me! (I know I'm sad)

This Nails Inc Kensington Caviar set is perfect at getting that finish I love, I find my varnish goes on smooth and stays bright until daily wear and tear causes it to chip and then out comes the remover....and on I go painting them...again.

The base coat as you can see in the picture is a cloudy pink colour, when applied to the nail obviously its clear with a slightly thicker texture to protect the nail and almost act like a primer filling in any grooves. I usually wait till its dry completely before applying which ever colour (usually Topshop) takes my fancy, I find the base helps the colour not to streak and to coat the nail evenly.

After waiting for the colour to be near enough dry I then apply a thin layer of the Top Coat to my nails which helps to dry and lock in the colour. It really does do what it says on the tin, It dries fast and sets on the nail so its literally bone dry within a minute. I have tried it on my toes too and its great when you have to paint them in a rush and stick your shoes on straight away. The one thing I will say to anyone who wants to try this, you have to apply a thin layer of the Top Coat, too much and it will bubble slightly you might not mind this as most normal people don't but it always bothers me!

I think this is a great value set from Nails Inc and has been a staple of mine for a couple of years now. You can pick this set up in Boots for £10 the bottles are small but I find they last for ages as you don't need to use a lot to get the desired finish.

Have you ever tried this? Or is there another nail product you think is better?
