I saw this in TK Maxx for £12.99 and stayed strong however a few weeks later I was there again and caved because it's such a cute set! I'm also a sucker for ombre shades.
The Nail Spice set was released October 2021 with a retail price of £22.
Pudding Lane // Off-White Pink Taupe Creme
Coats: 2
Nails Inc have reused this name as it used to be a blue glitter polish from the early 2010's. I found this be on the streaky/runny side making it somewhat difficult to apply. I'm a big fan of off-white shades though so this will be going on my favourites shelf.
2 coats can still be a bit streaky but it's not the end of the world.
Bread Street // Neutral Dusty Pink Creme
Coats: 2
I am in love with this polish. It's hard to imagine this looking bad on any skin tone. It's one of those perfect, autumn mauve dusty shades. Like Pudding Lane, it's quite runny with streaks making it slightly annoying to apply but all is forgiven on that second coat.
Honey Lane // Neutral Dusty Peach Creme
Coats: 2
This is an amazing shade that could be used for any time of the year. It pairs incredibly well with Bread Street. I can see all of these shades being used in a nude art deco look. This one is also a perfect match for my skin tone and would provide the best base for nude nails with neon decorations.
This one had the best formula so far, slightly thicker and less streaky.
Nutmeg Lane // Deep Terracotta Creme
Coats: 2
I like this shade however I wish it was more brown-ish and resembled actual gingerbread which has more of an orange tint to it. it was also the easiest to apply and you could get away with one coat but I did 2 just to smooth everything out. This is a proper cosy autumn shade and stamps really well.
// Overall
This set is advertised as being "gingerbread scented" which is perfect for the autumn/winter seasons however there is no scent. To me it just smells like nail polish with a slight sweetener aroma somewhere.
On the box it says you should fill in your thumb and pinkie with Pudding Lane, Bread Street to your index, Honey Lane on the middle and Nutmeg Lane on the ring finger for "on trend ombre look". So that's what I did:
I think the shades tonally match each other well and you can create some fantastic nail art however this set should have a 5th dark brown shade to complete it.
