My experience with Nails.INC London Tate Nail Paint (Review/Swatches):
(My skin tone: Indian Medium-dark, warm)
One of my favorite activities at beauty stores is finding the best and pretty nail colors that complement my medium-dark skin tone. However, the task becomes difficult when I need to select the nail paints online! Long back, I received this nail polish in one of my Birchbox UK beauty subscription boxes. The team asked us to choose a color online, and I picked Tate, the red one, among three other colors.
Product Packaging:
Nails.INC Tate nail polish comes in a 14ml flat-shaped glass bottle secured with a white lid. The first time I pulled the lid, I got worried. I thought I ruined the packaging, but it’s not the case. Unlike other traditional nail polish packaging, in this case, you need to pull the outer lid to reveal its screw-top cap. Then, rotate the screw-top anticlockwise to release the brush for applying the nail polish.
I have traveled with this nail polish, and it’s absolutely travel-friendly. While traveling, another nail polish of mine spilled and ruined this Tate nail polish’s white cap. Anyway, the bottle is red color-coded and has a unique packaging. Hence, finding this beauty amongst a sea of nail paints is super easy. Also, the packaging displays all the necessary information.
Texture & Shade Details:
Nails.INC has a couple of gorgeous nail polish categories, including Plant Power Vegan Nail Polish and 45 Second Speedy Gloss Nail Polish. I got the shade Tate from their NailPure nail polish range. The brand describes the shade on its official website as a dark, warm brown. However, I find this shade to be a warm, blood-red color. It has a creamy gel texture with a liquid consistency. It does have an artificial scent to it.

How Do I Apply Tate Nail Polish?
I don’t go to the nail salon or bar. My regular at-home routine for all the nail polishes is pretty simple. Before applying the nail polish, I always use a clear base coat so the nail paint can stick to my nails better. Then, I apply a thin coat of the Tate and leave it for a minute. Once it gets air-dried, I follow it up with another layer of the Tate nail paint. After a few minutes, I finish my nail polish routine with the top coat to prevent chipping and peeling. Finally, I dip a Q-tip into the nail polish remover and wipe off any extras from the side of my nails.
How does it work (Performance):
Nails.INC Tate nail polish has an excellent brush applicator. The wide and flat brush dipped in polish covers the nails in just a few strokes, making the application process faster and more comfortable.
Now, I don’t have a steady hand and patience. Hence, a neat nail polish application in one go is not my cup of tea! I still try to do my level best as I love painting my nails on weekends and before special occasions.
The creamy formula of Nails.INC Tate nail polish makes the nail polish application smoother, faster, and even. Also, the shade Tate is highly- pigmented. In just one stroke, it goes opaque. But I prefer two coats of this deep nail polish to get the full pigmentation.
The Tate nail polish dries fast and provides a beautiful glossy finish to my nails. The rich, warm, dark, red-colored Tate nail polish looks gorgeous on my medium-dark hands. My hands are darker than my facial skin tone. So, finding the perfect red nail polish for my skin tone is difficult. I am happy that Tate flatters my hands so well 😍!
Nails.INC NailPure Tate nail polish has great staying power. The deep red color stays on my fingernails for up to 3 days. From the 4th day, I can see the chipping on the tip of my nails. However, without top and base coats, this color stays only for up to two days on my fingernails. It lasts longer (two weeks) on my toenails, though! I use either Elegant Touch nail polish remover pads or Primark nail paint remover wipes to remove the colour off my nails. They both work great at removing this deep nail polish.
Kindly note that I do all the household chores without wearing gloves, and I am an Indian Bengali girl who eats with hands, not fork/spoon. Hence, I can’t blame the nail polish at all! I noticed when I am on holiday and do nothing, all nail polishes stay longer than usual and look great on my nails 🫠.
