Inglot 996
2012
What do we think of this one? It’s green. It’s very green in fact. But it’s a fabulous green, if you’re into this kind of thing. Not only is it a really gorgeous 
shade of emerald green, this also has tons and tons of green sparkle included in the recipe, meaning that when it catches the light, it pings and glimmers like a Christmas tree. OK, maybe a bit more subtle than that, but it’s not a bad analogy as the colour is really like a fir tree.
And now I’m thinking about Christmas again – that
can’t be a good thing.
This polish was perfectly opaque in two coats. Inglot formula is great, other than the brush appears to act like a vacuum, and you have to be careful as tons of the wet polish runs down the stick of the brush, causing quite a lot of pooling and a thicker coat than you might otherwise want. I found myself running the brush along my nail to take polish off and drop it back into the bottle rather than to put iton. This is two coats, with a layer of CND Air Dry (my current favourite quick drying topcoat).
So what do you think? Is this a green that takes your fancy? And enough of the numbers, Inglot – lets at least give these lovely polishes a name. If you were naming this one, what would you call it?

Now that’s what I CALL a polish.
I’m clueless with names though….
I love this, that green shimmer is beautiful. I’m yet to visit Inglot but when I eventually do I will be stocking up on their polishes, they all look lovely.
CND Air Dry is a great top coat. have you tried Super Shiney and Speedy too? Stickey is my favourite base coat.
Gorgeous and if I was naming it would go for “Spruce”!
Spruce – I like it!
Andrea – I have found Inglot to be a bit hit and miss. Some have a weird sticky texture whereas others are perfectly smooth. Thinking of Stickey, no, I haven’t tried the base coat but I need to!
Jen – I thought you’d like this one!
Love the new look. This green is spectacular. I’ve never used any Inglot products at all. Would love to have their shadows. The polish looks pretty good also.
