ncLA nails launches in the UK!

ncLA nails launches in the UK!

We couldn’t contain our excitement when we discovered one of our favourite nail brands from the States was launching its entire range here in the UK!

ncLA are renowned for the heavily pigmented, dense glitter and vast array of polishes in its repertoire, as well as the most unique collection of nail wraps we’ve ever laid our own hungry eyes upon.

We were lucky enough to sample a selection of the delights this range has to offer, with the quirky polish names never failing to bring a smile to our faces; our favourites being I’m With the Band (a neon orange), Beverly Hills Bunny (a shimmering fuchsia pink), and Black Diamond (a mixture of sky blue, black and silver, large glitter chunks in a clear base), which looks amazing over the top of a midnight blue, priced at £14 each.

The polishes glide on with ease, and have true staying power; they are also 100% free from the harmful chemicals found in many other brands. The entire range never has  and never will be tested on animals. Eco-friendly polishes in an endless list of mouth-watering shades; what more could a beauty junkie ask for?

The geniuses behind ncLA harness all that’s hot right now, by capturing prints and images straight from the catwalk, then transforming them into eye-catching nail wraps.

Quick and easy to use, simply apply a layer of clear varnish, allow to dry, press the selected design onto your nail plate, smooth out and gently file the free edge to remove the excess wrap. Finally, apply a coat of clear varnish to seal the deal. Voila! Enviable nails in a matter of minutes.

We put the wraps to the test and loved them; Electric Gradient being our particular favourite, with 20 wraps in each pack, plus a handy nail file. The Upcoming was able to give the wraps a go – the wall flowers amongst us opting for a ring finger manicure and the shrinking violets selecting a full-on neon ombré look, either way we were inundated with compliments.

So, hot-foot it over to the ncLA website to peruse their entire range; you are sure to find a shade (or two, or three) that you just have to own.
