Nails Inc/Diet Coke Leopard NOTD

Most of you will know by now that Nails Inc have collaborated with Diet Coke once again to create 4 new nail shades available at UK Boots stores for the grand old price of ... 2 bottles of diet coke.

For me, it's a win win deal, I love diet coke and a free nail polish is the icing on the cake.  Although I have been a bit of a cheat as I was sent these for review purposes.  There are 4 colours in the collection, Heather Grey (a greyish mauve funnily enough), Caramel (beige camel), Plum (reddy plum - my fave) and Denim (a deep blue which I have yet to try.

 

I have never been the biggest fan of Nails Inc polishes as I find they chip pretty quickly however over gel nails the colours look beautiful and last for weeks at a time.  I also find that Nails Inc have such an extensive shade range that can cater for every need.

 
The other night I had a sharpie pen at my disposal so thought I would try out 2 of the polishes in one go by creating a leopard print design.  I haven't done this for a while but I thought the Caramel would make a great base colour for the look which it did.  I used the Heather grey for my leopard spots. 

I think the colours look great together and very fitting of the current Camel trend that is around at the moment but doesn't actually suit me.  This way I get to wear the trend without washing me out or making me look drab.

So who has been collecting the diet coke/nails inc colours? What is your favourite shade?

    Your nails look fab! I love these shades, I want all 4!! The only thing I'm confused about is the price. I know I'm being thick here but do u mean they cost the same as two bottles of diet coke, or that you take two bottles of diet coke in to exchange for the nail varnish? x

    I have the caramel on as I type! I think its a gorgeous colour. I'm hoping to get my paws on the Heather Grey and Denim before they sell out.

    Fab design too. I can barely paint my nails at all with my left ahd, never mind get all creative with it!
