It’s been a while since I blogged about my nail polish collection. And remember my last post about my pharmacy super bargain? Well, I bought two! So here is the other nail polish bottle I bought from that trip to the pharmacy.

Nails Inc is quite expensive over here selling at around €8~ per bottle. So when I saw this was selling for a bargain price of €1 – I quickly snatched the deal! The bottle is a bit haggard-looking from scratches but so long as the product remains in good condition, it’s alright with me.



This second bottle of Nails Inc is called Optic Glow. It is a powder pink shade and looks really girly, too! I actually call it Barbie nail polish since it reminded me of those toys the moment I saw it in the pharmacy.

To get started, I applied one coat of clear base coat on my nails and waited to dry. Probably for about 2 minutes. Then, I applied the first coat of Nails Inc Optic Glow. As expected, it was a very light shade of polish. The first coat of polish was nowhere near as the end result I wanted for my nails. So I applied the second coat after drying for a bit. Unlike other nail polish that I have, the second coat still had huge polish gaps on my nails. I also noticed that it was a bit difficult to apply the polish as it was a bit goopy. I have a polish thinner but putting it at this stage would ruin my already painted nails and I was too lazy to do over, LOL! So I did what I can do and just applied the third coat. After that, the gaps were gone and the polish was applied evenly.

Since it took me three coats, I waited for about 5-10 minutes before applying the quick dry topcoat. I wasn’t too bored while doing that since I was clicking on some ads on my cell phone to pass the time anyway, LOL!



After waiting, I applied one layer of Sally Hansen Insta Dri top coat to finish the look!



I was so happy with the result and loved my Barbie nails. It was definitely one of my favorite nail polish shades from my collection. I’d probably need to add a bit of nail polish thinner I bought from BornPrettyStore to address the goopy texture but overall, I loved it.

Now, if only that look lasted similar to the other nail polish bottles I have in my collection. Sadly, it didn’t. It only lasted me about three days until the color on my pointer chipped. I was so annoyed because I really wanted the nail polish color to last.

Overall, it was a good bargain thinking that I bought this for only €1. But unlike the other Nails Inc nail polish bottles I have with me, this didn’t last me too long. I will still use it because I love the shade and just hope I will get lucky with longevity next time.
