Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet X Nails Inc Nail Polish Collection Review & Swatches

I purchased some nail polishes for Fall. I'll showcase them for you this week. One, is this cute set by Nails Inc. I've never tried this popular UK brand, but when I found out they collaborated with Alice and Olivia (by Stacey Bendet) I thought this would be a great way to try their polish. These polishes were inspired by Alice + Olivia's Fall/Winter 2015 Collection. There are 4 polishes in this set: Next To Nothing, Ruby Night Sky, Gold Goddess and Paris Rouge. I purchased this set online from Sephora, but they seem to be Out Of Stock, however it is available on the US Nails Inc website. Out of the 4, it seems only Next To Nothing can be purchased separately via Net-A-Porter, Beauty.com. There are also 3 other beautiful Alice + Olivia shades: Black Diamond, Rose And Poetry and Midnight Merlot, which are not swatched or included in the set below (but sold separately). However, you should check them out because they are BEAUTIFUL. Below are my thoughts on each. Have a great week!

  Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendel X Nails Inc Nail Polish Collection (#AOXNAILSINC) is Sweet
 

Alice + Olivia // Next To Nothing 

This is a fabulous nude! It's officially described as a 'creamy latte'. I love it, because it's everything I want in one color! It's ballet slipper pink, nude, beige, and brown all mixed together. I think this will be great for winter. This is the only shade you can purchase separately out of this set. All of these are Limited Edition (LE), so I want to get another bottle of this, before it disappears.

Alice + Olivia // Ruby Night Sky

I owned a similar shade (deep dark rich purple that's almost black) via OPI and wore it all winter long one year. So I was happy to see it in this collection. This is described as a 'deepest shiraz'. I had to look up shiraz. LOL Read about it here. Only one coat on my nails below, but I think I would do two the next time. I think it looks great with shorter nails. On really long ones it starts looking vampy :S.


Alice + Olivia // Paris Rouge

Paris Rouge is described as a 'Vibrant And Sophisticated Plum'. Depending on the lighting, it can show more red than purple. One coat on my nails below, but I would do two coats to achieve a richer color. This color is very pretty. Berry colors are very popular this Fall.


Alice + Olivia // Gold Goddess

This is Gold Goddess! This is described as, 'Shimmering 24K Gold'. All I will say, is this definitely brings on the BLING! There's also one that's called 'Black Diamond'. It's a gorgeous dark grey.


I was very impressed with the quality of these polishes. They were easy to apply (no bubbling or streaking). They dried quickly. Wearing time was 4-5 days. Can you find similar shades of these colors from other brands? YES! So, it's nothing you need in your collection. I purchased it, because 3 of these shades are my FAVORITE nail colors for Fall and I super love the Alice + Olivia Stace Face logo.

  5. I've always been impressed with Nails Inc as they are easy to apply and they last. The Next to Nothing as you say is a lovely nude and the Paris Rouge is a perfect rich shade for autumn. Thanks for reviewing these new colours. Have a great week, Kim.

  9. I love the gold! :)

    The Ruby Night Sky one reminds me of Lincoln Park After dark by OPI, I wonder if that's the shade you mentioned you wore a lot. It's on heavy rotation in winter here too, I mix it up with Russian navy now and then for some variety :)

  11. I do not need Paris Rouge, but I totally want it. I love berry colors anytime of year, but I always feel like I'll look weird rocking berry nails and lips in the spring so I go haywire in the fall/winter.

  12. What a cute set and the colors are just fall perfect. I have a glitter polish from Nails Inc. that I really like but I don't wear it that much cause glitter is a pain to remove but otherwise it's great.

  13. Wow - it's so rare to find a collection of polishes where I love all of the shades but this collaboration really does not disappoint! I've only ever tried one shade from Nails Inc. but I think that's going to be changing very soon ;)

  16. creamy latte is such a lovely shade...I love its name, because this nail polish does remind me of a latte. All these are really pretty shades, the other two that really caught my eyes are Paris Rouge (gorgeous!!!) and Golden goddess (we all need a bit of sparkle in our lives).

    Wonderful review...and thank you so much for your amazing comments...they mean a lot! You're so sweet.

  17. I've not tried Nail Inc before and this set looks like a great first buy, Kim! You know what? I never thought of applying dark shades on my short nails, I will try it this week, hopefully it'll look good on my fingers.

I may get it for the logo as well, lol. Thanks so much for your lovely comment, I'm trying to catch up with blogs now after a looong, but fun weekend. x/Madison

  24. The Next to Nothing goes perfectly with your skin tone! I usually gravitate to dark color, so the Paris Rouge would be the one for me. The Ruby Night sky is a little too "goth" though lol.

  25. Beautiful colours, very fall like :)
    You know, your post got me thinking and its been months since I last purchased a nail polish. Seems like I have too many of them and very little time to do my nails.

  26. These colors are so pretty and perfect for fall! Nudes, darks, and glitters are my favorites for the season. This is a nice set!

  27. Oh I love Nails Inc, it really stays on. But yeah getting is kind of hard Sephora is very limited in what they carry from this brand. This set looks amazing.

  31. Those are all such pretty colors Kim! I love the night sky and the gold one! The red is stunning as well, and you're right on the fact that the first one is the perfect nude color!

  32. They all look lovely, but I gotta hand it to Paris Rouge. That color is on fiyah!

  35. I've never tried their products before either but you've sold me on the nude. I've been looking for a nice nude and haven't had much luck. Not sure about the "shiraz" I'd expect it to be more red in tint then brown!

  52. I was just googling these polishes and your review came up, so I thought I'd stop by and report that I bought the Midnight Merlot earlier today. :) Totally spontaneous, actually. Got caught in a heavy rain, popped into the first shop, it turned out to be Nails Inc. So I had my nails done and picked this colour. So so so gorgeous! x
