Nina Ultra Pro - Mermaid

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is slower on the 3rd coat though. The formula is sheer and the brush is good. It is a nice minty green with a lovely shimmer. This lasted well.

Nina Ultra Pro - Burnt Orange

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous orange with an amazing glowing shimmer! Looks fab. Both the brush and formula were good. Lasted really well.

Nina Ultra Pro Poison Apple

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold, making painting very easy indeed. It's a gorgeous deep red colour that's so pretty! Noticed slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

Nina Ultra Pro Solar Flare

Now with the addition of the Nubar top coat ~

This is okay to use and okay to apply, it's slightly streaky. It's slowing drying and took about 5 minutes for each coat. It dried matte, so I added a top coat for extra shine! It's a vibrant and bold yellow, perfect for summer, if we ever get one in Scotland :-( Lasted well.

My Personal Rating = 6/10 poor formula but it's a bold colour that I quite like

Nina Ultra Pro Punki Purple

This polish caused a little bit of disappointment within me! It's easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It dries matte tho and wasn't aware of that fact when I bought it! Boooo. I wanted a bright shiny, vibrant colour. It's prone to chipping and scuffing so best use a top coat. I should have used one but couldn't be bothered!

Nina Ultra Pro Jiggi Pink

This is quite a subtle pink, but pretty!

With flash.

Natural light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying! Yah. It's fairly weak and I used 2 coats, probably could have done with 3 but I was lazy that day! Good brush and good lid. Lasted well. I think it's more a summer pink than an autumn pink!

Nina Ultra Pro Tickle Me Pink

This is such a good brand of polish and such good quality for the price. This is a "pinky" rosy colour with a subtle gold shimmer.

In natural light.

And artificial light.

All above are 2 coats.

This was easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush was really good too. It certainly needed 2 coats as 1 coat is too weak. I'm not sure about the name as I don't think it looks pink really, but rosy with that subtle golden shimmer. It did last well and is so cute.

7 out of 10. Got it from Sallys for about £3.50 ish. I'm bad for remembering prices doh!

Nina Ultra Pro Molten Copper

I do like the Nina Ultra Pro polishes and they are such good value! This is another iridescent one (not to be confused with Molten Gold)!!!

A few different colours.
Without flash.

It's really hard to capture all the different shades! All the above are 2 coats.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and has an excellent brush. It's slow drying and very weak so needs a few coats. I think if I have the time, I'll apply 3 when I wear it again. It's iridescent heaven though! Yah.

7 out of 10. Easy to pick up from SSS or online. I picked mine up when they had the offer of buy 1 get 1 half price on and one costs about £3.50ish.

Nina Ultra Pro Molten Gold

Iridescent-tastic! I'm in love!

Doesn't look so from the bottle in the above picture though. Let me tell you it is!!! Mixes of coppers and pinks!

The following are all indoors with flash.

And the last is in my car, no flash.

You can really see the different colours in that one!

I love this polish and love this make. This is the first one I've had and would have more for sure. It's a good formula and goes on the nail nicely. The lid is easy to hold making application a breeze. It dried quickly and 2 coats (all above) gave a good finish. AND it lasted well too despite doing muchos paperwork.

This one is a sure fire 9 out of 10. And I'll be wearing it in near future. Love it, love it, love it. £3.89 from Sally Salon Services. When I got it, they had buy one get one half price on.
