Nails Inc have released three new special effect nail sets each with a ‘overglaze’ top coat and each set name over some of everyone’s favourite characters Lily, Serena and Blair.
I have been trying out Blair a very dark teal colour which is teamed with Privileged a green/blue top coat.
I love the base colour perfect winter shade, almost black deep teal colour. I thought I would also love the topcoat but to me it looks a bit like fish scales and reminds me of a mermaid. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but personally I was hoping that the top coat would be a little more gold. However saying that lots of people have said that they do really like it so this may just be me that doesn’t quite understand it. Another thing that bothers me a little these nail polishes don’t really say Gossip Girl to me, would Blair really wear this colour?
I would still be quite interested in trying Serena it looks a little different to me and I think this sort of effect would suit blue far more.
What do you think of the collection?
Collection is available from Nailinc.com and each set retails at £20.

I saw this, or something very similar from Nails Inc on QVC and it was lovely 🙂
Your nails look so good

Love the colours, but don't see why it's been branded as a Gossip Girl collection. They are such gorgeous shades for the festive period and glitter nails are huge right now that they could have just released them as normal Nails Inc polishes x
I think they're gorgeous but maybe not worth the money as they're quite expensive!

Yeahh I Want <3
I love it! Although it has little to do with GG…but you can hardly write Blair and Serena on your nails! The colours are great…I'd wear the teal for daytime and then add the glitter coat on top for nightime! 🙂
I always look forward to seeing your posts, you always introduce me to something new!! Quite like the top coat but ruins the underneath a little x
Oh wow – these look really interesting.. love a bit of GG!

I've been trying the Lily version, i quite like it, I think it's the best of the three. Many people have complimented me as well.

It looks really cool, but true, not really screaming "Gossip Girl". I would wear that manicure, but if it's very pricey just for the sake of "Gossip Girl" label on the side… Doesn't seem that great to me. But hey, thanks for sharing, your nails look great once again 🙂 xoxo
Really like the nails but agreed, not very Gossip Girl xx
I imagine Gossip girl`s color something from Neon 🙂
I dont watch gossip girl but these are really good! They look really Halloweeny!! xx
I like the look of Serena too, not a massive fan of these two shades together.
i need these, they're sooo pretty! wish they sold them near me 🙁

Ooh I love the idea of these sets! I know what you mean about it being really Blair but she does wear dark green occasionally I guess. Thanks for sharing! X
I'm a huge fan of Gossip Girl, so I'd love to try these sets, probably the Serena. £20 seems a bit steep for two nail polishes though? xxx
Omg! They look amazing! I want!
In the USA these colours have been rebranded. The top coats are London theatres – the Donmar, Wyndham, and Old Vic. The teal is called Kensington, I think. The dark plum is Chelsea, and the black is just Black Taxi. I think that works a lot better.
