NOTD: Nails Inc Havana from Dove & Nails Inc The Beauty Collection (swatches)

Last night I caught up on all most of my blog posts apart from my NOTD's ^^ I haven't seen anything really about Havana, only Copacabana, at all and this offer has been on for about 4days now? I'm so surprised that more bloggers haven't posted!

Not as surprised, however, as when I got my hands on this polish! I was anticipating a sheer, creamy pastel pink that I could probably pass up, what I got instead was a beautiful and very unique polish in my own collection. ^^
To me this is a rosy/pink fudge coloured polish which can appear a little bit like a nude. It's such an interesting colour and this took 3 coats to apply (it's quite sheer) to get the above NOTD. What makes this polish so special as well is the delicate rosy/golden pink flash of shimmer that shows up as you roll the bottle of nail polish and if you look closely you can definitely see this on your nails. My picture is not anything to go on for this, sadly. It's far more noticeable in artificial orange/yellow light at night and it bright sunlight though, as you would expect!

I hope this was helpful for anybody looking for a Havana NOTD/swatch as I personally found nothing online myself! ^-^




What do you think?

Dove & Nails Inc ~ The Beauty Collection (& Swatches)

Everybody has been going on about this certain freebie and no wonder! Simply buy two of the selected Dove deodorants (retailing from about £1.95-£3.32) and get a free Nails Inc polish! ^^
I bought the Dove Beauty Finish roll on, Invisible Dry roll on & spray and the original Dove Roll on. I would have bought another aerosol, as they are what I use on a daily basis, but I was tight on cash and would have spent over £10 if I had. I needed a roll on for traveling this Summer anyway so it's a win-win situation! This cost me £9.37 in total.

Havana


This really surprised me! It had been advertised as a lovely creamy pastel pink but to me this is totally different and I'm so glad that it isn't just a boring sheer pink. To me, this appears like a 'fudge' coloured polish with a definite pinky tone. There is also an amazing rosy/golden pink flash of shimmer that shows up as you roll the bottle around, it's beautiful. Although quite sheer, I think this will be good in about 3 coats as the swatch below was with 2. Sadly I won't have a proper picture of this until I do a NOTD, maybe tomorrow?


Copacabana

I wasn't sure about either of these polishes at the start until I saw Ms Bubu's post and then later her NOTD which made the colour look stunning!
Don't get me wrong - it's beautiful - but I was a bit disappointed at first as it appeared very bright neon pinky orange and actually reminded me of this sort of modelling clay I had when I was younger. It is, however, unique within my collection and it looks more muted when swatched but still a wonderfully strange corally/pink orange colour that I really love. This will be the perfect pedicure colour, now I just have to make the horrible decision of what to choose from my collection to wear for when I go out to Florida on holiday!


L-R: Denny Leighton Do Me a Favour, Viva La Diva, Nails Inc: Copacabana, Havana

Did a little comparison of swatches for you all as, try as I might, I couldn't take a picture of these polishes at all! They are so difficult, hopefully when I do a NOTD I'll be able to get a decent enough picture to capture them correctly. :/ I have to say I think I'll be popping Havana on my fingernails and Copacabana on my toes to replace Viva La Diva as I'm so excited! ^^

What do you think? Will you be picking any of these up? *-^

Until Next Time,
