I admit, it sounds rather bazar and indeed it is but Nails Inc are having a real moment with their
Paint Can spray on nail paints. Dubbed as the "the worlds fastest manicure" it certainly got my attention. The whole concept is based on what it says on the tin, yep spray painting your nails. I was sceptical to say the least, but I have been giving them a trial for a couple of months now and I think I have formed a pretty firm opinion. So basically you apply your base coat, spray the paint on, apply the top coat and then wash away the excess paint on your fingers. Sounds simple right? Wrong. I found the process way more complicated and honestly found a traditional manicure way more timely other than paint dry time. So the 2in1 base coat/top coat is rather lovely and smooths the nails perfectly, great start. Now the spray can is where things get interesting. So you spray it on and it's rather fun, but then you realise it hasn't actually covered your whole nail and the colour looks a little patchy. I thought do not fear we will just do another spray coat, bad bad idea. Things just got chunky and kinda weird looking, certainly not polished and smooth like I would expect. Granted adding the top coat made things look a little better but I still wasn't in awe. At this point though the whole process had been pretty fast and I thought you no what the application may not be the best but for a five minuet manicure it is rather fun. So the next step is washing off the excess paint, except it doesn't really wash off. You either have to scrub hard with a nail brush, and I mean hard or go at it with nail polish remover and cotton buds like I did. So basically at this point even if you are rubbish at painting your nails, normal nail polish still works better. I felt a little sad about it not working as I am such a Nails Inc fan so I went with the good old motto "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again." After a few more applications I would like to say I have mastered getting an even colour a little more but the excess paint thing still really bugs me. Don't get me wrong, I love the concept and the whole process is rather fun and I certainly would give it a try with Nails Inc offering a variety of shades in the formula for only a tenner. The one thing I have learnt from this though, is that
West End is the most beautiful shade ever and I will be buying it in normal polish formula (which btw is one of the best nail polish formulas) ASAP. Love...
