Polish of the Day: Nails Inc. Marylebone

I picked up this stunning, ultra-glittery Nails Inc. polish recently after I tried it on in Sephora and caught myself glancing down at my hands to look at my sparkly nails throughout the rest of the afternoon! I love glitter, but confess I don't wear it all that often, but I had a couple of days off from the office this week and decided it would be the perfect time to get some use out of Marylebone.

This polish consists of a clear base and what looks to be two different sizes of silver glitter--a small hexagonal shape and a very fine square-shape--along with equally fine fuchsia glitter. Viewed at a distance, the two shades of glitter combined on the nail create a silvered-lavender look.

The formula is rather thick, simply due to all of the densely-packed glitter. It provides almost opaque glitter coverage with just one coat, but I used two coats just to make sure I didn't miss any spots. If you were to wear a metallic silver polish underneath as a base, a single coat would definitely be sufficient. It dries to a gritty texture and, like most glitter polishes, removal can be time-consuming but I think the results in this case justify the extra work.

Marylebone is a sparkling confection fit for a fairy tale princess and is the epitome of girly, yet somehow manages to retain a certain sophistication. Although my girlhood days are long behind me, may I never be too old to enjoy some glitter now and then!
