Victoria Beckham x Nails Inc nail polish
Back in March, if you’d asked me what my perfect shade of red was, I would’ve had one answer for you. Bobbi Brown’s ‘Tomato’. Vibrant, punchy, and borderline tangerine, it was the one polish I could slick on my nails on a Sunday, and expect to see it there six, seven, eight days later.
Now, I’m feeling a little torn. Mostly because I picked up Victoria Beckham’s collaboration with Nails Inc the other week, and I’ve been vibing on the shade ‘Judo Red’ ever since. The formula is thick and gel-like; one stroke is enough to leave an opaque stripe of colour across your nail, and it’s one of the more chip-resistant nail polishes I’ve tried. This shade leans a little more orange, and while I enjoy having something punchy and bright on my nails to beat the winter blues, I get the feeling this is going to get a lot of wear-time come summer.
The other shade in the duo, is ‘Bamboo White’, a pale milky pink, and Nail Inc’s answer to ‘Ballerina’ by Chanel. Which, goes to say, that it won’t take one, or two, but three coats to get a suitable opacity slicked across your nails; good thing the formula seems to dry down quick.
If you’re only looking to splash out on one (because let’s be real, these are a) pretty pricey, and b) mostly sitting on my vanity due to the packaging first and foremost), then make it ‘Judo Red’. It’s the kind of shade that I won’t regret having – even in multiples – especially once those summer months roll on around.

I was seriously tempted to dish out the money for both of these because I’ve become a pretty big fan of Victoria Beckham over the years and I love the packaging on these. Nails Inc has really stepped up their game! I ended up with Judo Red, and it’s perfect for the warm months. I have a tendency to wear blacks and dark grays but it’s nice to have that punch of color!

Haha that was exactly my rationale when it came to deciding. I figured, why not buy both? But, I don’t see myself getting much use out of the ballerina pink shade as it is so similar to the one I have from Chanel which applies much more nicely. They definitely have stepped up their game, I can’t wait to try more colours from their range.
Hi Jamie! I’m new to your blog but I just wanted to let you know I really love your work! I just watched your winter wardrobe capsule video and I’m so inspired and excited for winter to come to San Francisco! {sorry I’m posting it here but the comments were closed on that page}. I look forward to reading more of your posts, oh and just to let you know some of the links on your shop page seemed to have expired {I tried clicking through some of it, but I think the shops might have taken those links down?}
