WHAT IS IT?

A Nails Inc nail polish in a dark taupe shade. The shade name is Jermyn Street and it is a dark but neutral shade.

APPLICATION

This polish has the same brush as all Nails Inc polishes so it is very easy to apply. The polish is thick and smooth so applies straight and evenly, I always find it easy to get a tidy and professional finish with this polish and this is because the brush is so sturdy and well shaped.   I use two coats because it doesn't need more and a third coat doesn't add to the colour, Jermyn Street takes a minute and a half to dry enough for a second coat and the top coat takes two or three minutes to fully harden.

WHAT I THINK

I think highly of Nails Inc and this polish has not disappointed me.  This was free with Glamour magazine and it has been a good free gift because I have almost finished this bottle and am going to buy another.  The colour when applied is the same as in the bottle and looks best with tanned skin and a smart clutch bag.  It does not chip easily and with two coats forms a strong layer on my nails. Small chips can be repaired but anything larger will look very obvious.  

The finish is glossy but not too shiny, I like this because I have the option of applying a top cost if I want extra shine.  I like how easy the polish is to apply and since I bought a bottle to offer as part of my bridal make overs I have seen several brides choose this neutral shade for their nails and also their bridesmaids.  It looks especially right with an ivory dress and can be brightened up with nail art if you need extra colour or texture.
