Nails Inc. Stratford was certainly an enigma to my camera. It is a really pretty pinky copper that shifts to a golden green. The color kind of reminds me of a less garish version of Orly Space Cadet. It's quite beautiful. The finish, however, is prone to brush strokes. A careful application (which I did not use for these swatches) will certainly help mitigate that issue.



Stratford is definitely reflective, which is something I failed to capture on camera. You will just have to take my word for it. It's no Layla, but it is metallic enough to not look frosty. The formula is quite thin, but it is very manageable.

I really love the colors in Stratford, so I am more than willing to forgive the brushstrokes. There are definitely ways to fix that.



Nails Inc. Stratford retails for $9.50 and is available at Sephora.com
