Nails Inc/ Diet Coke Caramel comparison pictures

I know you've probably seen/will see the Nails Inc/Diet Coke nail polishes on a lot of blogs, but I thought I'd do a quick comparison post with Nails Inc London from last year's Diet Coke giveaway and Nubar Sandstone, which is my favourite nude nail polish.

Caramel (left on picture, on my ring finger) is a cream texture, and more yellow beige than London (middle finger) which has a definite mauve tone to it (also cream texture). Nubar Sandstone (right, index finger) is paler, more of a grey toned beige, and has a subtle pearlescent pink glow.

pictured left to right: Nubar Sandstone, Nails Inc London, Nails Inc Caramel.

I don't much like Caramel on me. It's the closest to my skintone out of the three polishes pictured, so if you're a pale yellow/olive skintone looking for a mannequin nail polish colour it's got potential, but I think it just makes me look jaundiced.

Caramel (and three other shades, I want the blue one) are available at Boots, free with the purchase of two 500ml bottles of Diet Coke.

  2. Thanks for these Grace, I like how you have done the photos. I must say these seem to be problematic dependent on skin tone. I think I like the Nubar best. Jan x

  3. I'd be swimming in nail polish if they did that promotion in the U.S. since I love my Diet Coke. I don't care for the Caramel either but London would be great to have.

  4. Not liking that Caramel one either, it really WILL blend in with my skintone and make my fingers look sh*tty (literally). Nails Inc London is much nicer.

  5. @ Vexinthecity :D exactly. It's too yellow.

    Hi Marcia - I don't touch the stuff, I was force-feeding my poor colleagues with it! I'm after the blue one next.

    Hello Jan - yes, Nubar is my favourite of the three too. Thank you. x

    Hi Marisa - yes, neutrals are versatile. It's not easy to find a flattering one though!

  6. great idea to compare these 3 polishes :)

    I have 'caramel' but I haven't used it yet as I decided to wear 'heather grey' first (then I must try 'plum' & 'denim'!)

    I'll definitely check out the Nubar polish in 'Sandstone' - it looks gorgeous!

  7. Thanks for the comparison. I got one yesterday and decided not to get the Caramel for now after seeing your swatches (I think it might have been the Coke that made me feel bleurgh yesterday!). I kick myself for not having got London last year.

  8. Haha, jaundiced? But yes, I think the other two do look much better. Oh, I wish they had such promotions here!
