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.
