And you thought Baker Street was electric blue?
This morning I have a fantastic, almost electric, royal blue crelly (creme/jelly hybrid) from Nails Inc. - Southwark. (For the Americans, it's pronounced "Suthuck" just FYI.)
I will apologize in advance for the poor quality/blurriness of some of the photos, but this one was hard to get a color-accurate shot of and I did NOT want to color adjust so I will admit to walking around taking pics near every light source in the entire house...light bulbs, windows and there may or may not be a photo taken inside the refrigerator. I'm not admitting to anything.

Told you they weren't the best quality, but 1) I hate color-adjusted photos when I'm trying to decide where/whether to spend my money and 2) I don't really know how on the photo editor (for dummies) that I'm using.
Application was fantastic. No issues at all. I used two coats and no top coat for the photos. It dries to a semi-glossy finish but with a top coat it positively glows. What do you think? Baker Street was the most "electric" blue I owned...until this one. It's really amazing.
A limited selection of Nails Inc polishes are available through Amazon.com or Sephora.com for around $9.50 in the US and the entire line is available through Nails Inc's own site nailsinc.com for around £11.00. Nails Inc. doesn't ship to the US so I'm ever thankful to my UK buddies for keeping me supplied.

OMG! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI need this polish!! :D
Funny, I just posted Baker Street on my blog today. I wasn't too impressed and love this one better!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty. I wonder how it compares to RBL's IKB: 2012? Especially since that one's sold out :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have IBK anymore because I didn't care for the formula at all and I had polishes that were "close enough" for me. I compared it to Baker Street here: http://www.pointlesscafe.com/2012/06/blue-comparisons-royal-blue.html The closest one I had at the time was Pure Ice French Kiss which is a VERY close dupe with an infinitely better formula, IMO. Southwark is quite a bit brighter and more of a "royal blue" than IBK.
DeleteLooks like its closer to Revlon Royal but based on my personal comparison of Baker Street with the actual Yves Klein blue painting at MOMA, I think Baker Street is completely accurate if you are looking for an Yves Klein blue..or international Klein blue as RBL calls it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit brighter than Revlon Royal. I would LOVE to see your comparison of Baker Street to the painting! Link me!♥
DeleteThis is a lovely colour xx
ReplyDeleteI THINK I NEED IT!
ReplyDeleteRefrigerator shots? I love your dedication! :) I saw Baker Street IRL over the summer and thought it looked very bright. This one makes it look so tame!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And I love that you got creative with your lighting! Hahaha
