Quick Take: very unique, cute as a cupcake
Adorable and Durable. This polish looks amazing but be careful on how many coats you apply. I suggest only two. The first time I applyed I wanted a sprinkle everywhere and used 4 to 5 coats and it lasted almost 7 days without a chip but didn't feel or look 100% right. The second time around used only two coats and was really happy. Happy enough to come back and purchase sugar house lane but I didn't use it yet. I love any polish that is black IDK why so had to get it. Nails Inc. Surprised me because this is my first two purchases with this brand and so far I really like it. I also bought a regular color to try kensington palace so we will see as I havn't tried that one yet either.
now the cons - took a star off due to removel oh wow! I read other reviewers before purchase and knew already what may happen and took another reviewers advice about using pure acetone. I do recomend buying pure acetone but it still was hard to remove and glitter glitter evrywhere on your hands. had to use foot spa walnut shell exfoliater to remove all the glitter and had to use one sephora cotton pad per finger!!! Ouch! and if your familiar with sephoras cotton pads you know they work wonders.
all in all though I came back to purchase another color so it's pretty enough and lasts long enough to deal with the cons. that's the minus one star

Sugar House... More like Concrete Sidewalk
-05.20.13
The application is great. It dries in a normal length of time. All very good things. It takes forever to remove... not a bad thing at all! However, this color looks much better on my laptop screen than it does on my actual nails. To be frank, it looks really ugly! These colors just did not seem to go well with each other at all. It ends up looking like a cement sidewalk on your nails (2 coats). lol!

So cute!!

I bought Sweets Away and it made my nails looks like cute little cupcakes! My husband even said it was his favorite nail polish that i've EVER bought. I made sure to put on base coat and a few layers of top coat, and this stuff stayed on for a week without one chip.

Yummy
-03.30.13
I ordered Sweets Away & Pudding Lane. I really like these polishes! I'm wearing Sweets Away right now & it is a perfect spring polish! I felt like it came out a little too shiny though, so I put a matte topcoat on it & it was better. It reminds me of the frosted animal cookies, you know, the white & pink ones. It really makes me want to get Topping Lane! Pudding Lane is gorgeous & just as unique as Sweets Away, but it did stain my nails a bit. It's not unusual for blue polishes to stain though, so that doesn't warrant a star removal. Pudding Lane lasted over a week without chips, I only took it off because I was anxious to try another polish lol. To get enough depth to have the full effect it is necessary to do three coats, this was true of both colors I tried. It was very easy to remove using the foil method. If you aren't familiar with the foil method you have to look it up & try it! You will be amazed at how easily heavy glitter, or any other polish comes off! I highly recommend these polishes! Very fun :)

Review 9 for Special Effects Sprinkles Nail Polish
topping lane - pink
-03.27.13
This is chunkier than I expected. It's challenging to get the right amount on, moreso than with traditional glitter polishes. I like it best with 2-3 thin coats, but it takes practice to get them thin without just leaving a fresh layer of sprinkles with no pink color around them. It's pretty cute when it's done, though.

Quick Take: fun, unique, trendy
Love the sprinkle colors from Nails Inc. unique and easy to apply. Base color isn't sheer and it only takes two coats to get the desired effect.

Sweets Away - Love This!
-02.28.13
My friend gifted me with this and I wouldn't have picked it out for myself but I absolutely love it. I think it's my new favorite polish and I have A LOT.
I used OPI's chip skip, no base coat, and Essie's no chips ahead top coat. It's lasting longer than most polishes and way longer than the last Butter polish I had on.
Plus it reminds me of candy sprinkles.

Love!!
-02.28.13
Have both Sweets Away and Topping Lane. Both last a long time - just need to use the foil method to get them off - but the look is worth it. Definitely looks like candy! I own a ga-zillion nail polishes, and I have to say these are a couple of my faves. :)

not matte :(
-02.13.13
I got this in Sweets Away and it's really cute, but just as sparkly as your average glitter polish - not mattified as in the description, at least not my bottle! I ended up layering a jelly-finish sheer polish over it and really liked the result, but would've loved the matte glitter I was expecting.

Got this in Sugar House Lane, and I'm in love. Perfect "nude with a kick" polish. The glitter is not overpowering or really even that "glittery," definitely very matte and looks a lot like sprinkles. Slightly textured, so if that bugs you you'll want to use a top coat. I'll be ordering the other three colors very soon.

this product worked well. I liked the way it looked on, but it did not last any longer than regular nail polish. I am still happy with my purchase!

Review 19 for Special Effects Sprinkles Nail Polish
Sprinkles on your nails! : D
-01.22.13
Quick Take: fun, food like eye appealing
Theme- Sprinkles, caught my eyes and I had to buy them! I purchased Sweets Away, Pudding Lane, Topping Lane and there's no buyer's remorse! I like to use a make up sponge to soak up the liquid color to keep the glitter and sponge on the polish sometimes, because this glitter looks like the sprinkles you get on your cupcake.
