New for Spring 2014! Nails Inc. has released a matte glitter collection at Sephora. I picked up these two polishes in a stand-alone Sephora store and have yet to see them on the Sephora website.

The all matte glitter polish in this collection: Nails Inc. Knightsbridge Place. Made up of all the same sized hexagonal glitter in matte red, light pink, and light blue in a clear base. As you can see in the photos above and below, these polishes don't work so well as full-coverage polishes because even with the dabbling method where you dab on a blob of polish and push the glitter around on the nail to get the nail fully covered, as I did here, with two thick coats, there are still large un-covered spots on the nails, and there are areas that the glitter is starting to build-up and become bumpy.

Nails Inc. Upper Street, the second polish in this collection, is made up of four colors of hexagonal glitter in a clear base. Three are matte glitter: the white, light pink, and light blue. The fourth color of glitter is a shiny gold, which adds a different dimension from Knightsbridge Place.

Like Knightsbridge Place, Upper Street does not work very well as a full coverage polish because of how chunky the glitter is, creating the same problems of balding and bumpiness that Knightsbridge Place has.

Where Knightsbridge Place and Upper Street really shine are as glitter toppers. Both Knightsbridge Place and Upper Street are layered over Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Thinking of Blue.
First let's see Knightsbridge Place as a topper.

If you think you've seen these polishes before, you may have. A few blogs have shared photos of these glitters in double ended bottles. There appear to be three double ended polish duos where on one side of the duo, there is a creme polish, and the other end has one of the pop art glitters. The third glitter topper, Cavendish Place, has turquoise, black, silver, and white glitter in it. This was not at Sephora. I'm not sure if this means that Cavendish Place will not be showing up at Sephora, or whether it was just not in stock at the particular Sephora store I frequent. Please let me know if you see it around!
So what do you think of these polishes? Which is your favorite? Have you seen or tried any polishes from the Nails Inc. Pop Art collection?
