Behold, a good Nails Inc! At last!
The only thing I know about The Royal Court is that it is a theatre 
somewhere near Sloane Square. I’ve never spent that much time in that part of London – maybe because I don’t have that much money to spank on fancy cars or designer clothes. And even if I did, it conjurs up too many images of “Sloane Rangers” – that breed of women sporting tweed, twinsets and alice bands. Stereotypical maybe, but hey.
One thing a Sloane Ranger would not be caught dead in
would be a nail varnish like this though. I am sure they all wear sheer Chanels and perhaps the odd flashy red at Christmas.
The Royal Court is a bright, bright royal blue (hence the name). It’s nice, although it’s nothing new. It’s a pretty good dupe for OPI’s Dating A Royal or Ciate’s Skinny Jeans.
Application was great – this was three coats, although you could get away with two. It is nice and smooth and again, just as nice as The Hurlingham from the other day. I am rapidly reaching the conclusion that Nails Inc know how to make a decent creme but just seem to fail on the jellies and frosts.
If you want a nice, bright blue, you won’t go far wrong with this one. I’ve got to be honest though, I don’t own anything in royal blue apart from a couple of nail varnishes. This is the exact same colour as my school jumper right from age six through to sixteen so it doesn’t exactly inspire happy thoughts in me.
But for anyone else, it’s a great polish. Am I finally warming to Nails Inc? We shall see…

I love Nails Inc products probably because I am a fan of cremes more than the spangly, glittery polishes that most people favour! This is a nice “weekend” in denims chilling kinda polish…can’t go far wrong with that!
Ps…have you never been offered any Leighton Denny to swatch?
It’s a bit too light a blue for me. The only problem I’ve ever had with Nails Inc polishes is that the cap is too wide!
Their creme formula is good. I love this colour.
And I echo the point about the caps. I have teeny paws and the cap is virtually impossible to wield accurately. Consequently I don’t have a lot. 2 or 3?
Oh I wrap a big elastic band round the top of my nail varnish caps to give me a bit of grip….give it a try!!
This is lovely and looks great on your nails. I do think you’ve been very unlucky with Nails Inc, I have over 100 different Nails Inc colours and they’re generally fabulous and definitely my favourite polish brand. But cremes are definitely their sweet spot, although I do have some awesome shimmers too. Can’t think of a good jelly, but I don’t think I quite *get* jellies yet.

What a beautiful royal blue on you. Really look wonderful with your skin tone. Very pretty and I’m still keeping away from their website.
Wow, that takes some balls (as we say in the States) to wear but you can pull it off Helen! It does contrast very nicely with your skin tone. I so wish I could wear bold colors like this but hubby hates them. 🙁 Good on ya Helen!
The Nails Inc I have and like is a creme formula too. This one is nice, quite tempted by it myself.
[…] seem vastly different to other blue polishes I have, such as OPI Dating A Royal, or Nails Inc The Royal Court. And, in all honesty, it isn’t […]
