Instyle Bare is a soft peachy nude creme with a great shine.
Application was good and these swatches are 2 coats, no top coat.
As the name suggests it was a covermount giveaway with Instyle magazine way back in 2009.

Nails Inc - Instyle - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Orangey red creme
It's a scorcher here in the UK today so here's a hot polish to match.
Nails Inc for Instyle's Love Will Tear Us Apart is from their 2015 freebie collection themed around '80's anthems.
Love Will Tear Us Apart is a bright orangey red with a hint of coral creme.
Application was great - swatches shown are 2 coats, no top coat.
Love the song, love the polish!

Nails Inc Instyle - Boys of Summer
Bright pink creme
I showed the first of the Instyle covermount polishes from 2015 last month - here's the next one - the theme was 80's anthems...
Boys of Summer is a cool toned bright pink creme
Application was great as you'd expect from a Nails Inc creme
Swatches are 2 coats, no top coat.

Nails Inc - Instyle - The Tide is High
Pale blue creme
The sun has been making an appearance here today so I thought I'd go with this lovely spring pastel from Nails Inc.
The Tide is High is a minty pale blue creme.
Application was ok, as it common with these pastel shades it was a little streaky and swatches are 2 coats which isn't bad.
The Tide is High is a freebie from a recent-ish Instyle covermount, well July 2015 if truth be told so not that recent!
The theme of the four choices was 80's Anthems, other shades were Love Will Tear Us Apart, Boys Of Summer and When Doves Cry.
Although these shades were only available with a magazine nearly a year ago you can usually pick up most magazine covermounts from ebay - I presume from all the leftover mags? At the moment you can get all four shades for £4 plus p&p at the moment - steal!

Nails Inc - Ibiza Orange
Jellyish Orange Creme
More orange goodness before the weather turns here in the UK. We've had hot sunny weather for the past week or so but today it looks like it'll be warm but less sunny before cooling down for our long weekend (we have 2 bank holidays next week to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee). Typical, huh?!
Swatch is 2 coats no top coat and there's slight vnl from the jellyness
I thought this one looked similar to another nails inc that a lot of the UK gals might have, Nails Inc Candy Orange which was a giveaway with InStyle magazine a couple of years ago so I did a quick comparison.
l-r Ibiza Orange, Candy Orange, Ibiza Orange, Candy Orange
Candy Orange is softer, slightly more coral toned and a shade more opaque. Ibiza Orange is brighter, more vibrant, a slightly stronger orange.
But they're pretty similar aren't they, I'd say if you've got Candy Orange then you probably don't need Ibiza Orange. Except if you're a Nails Inc obsessive like myself!
