Nail Polish Collection & Storage ♥

♥
I love nail polish, I'm forever buying bottles of it.
I used to store it in a drawer, but i hauled so many polishes that it wouldnt shut, so i went on the search for a shelf.
Early on a sunday morning, i dragged myself out of bed to my local car boot sale and while perusing the isles, i came across a little white shelf for £3...Yes, £3! Bargin.
A lick of white paint and it was good as new. Now it proudly hangs on my bedroom wall, all organised and pretty.

I really recommend storing your polishes like this, its so easier to find what your looking for and because they're not laying on their sides the varnish dosnt leak into the cap, which causes the lid to get stuck and the polish to split.

I must admit, i'm a slight nail polish snob. I love my OPI and my Nails Inc. Although Revlon and Barry M do some fabulous colours aswell for a fraction of the price.

On the bottom row i keep all my OPI polishes, Middle row has all my Nails Inc and The top row is a variety of various brands such as Barry M, Nars, Nubar, China Glaze, Zoya, Gosh and Essie.

I took these picture a few weeks ago, and since then i have discovered the brilliant brand Models Own which now has taken over most of the top row!

I need to stop buying polishes, or i may have to hunt down another shelf...or two.

Whats your favourite brand and how do you store your polishes?

Collection 2000 Hot Looks Nail Polish ♥

Awh, How cute are these little gems?

The colours i own:

Button Moon - Minty light green with hints of blue (How adorable is that name!?)
BMX Bandit - mixture of purple and navy blue.
Dynasty - Light pink with lilac undertones
Hoola Hoop - bright neon pink.

There are 20 shades to collect in total, but these are the ones that caught my eye the most.

The shades are so fun and suitable for summer, all very vibrant candy shades with a very shiny wet look finnish.
My favourite of the four is BMX Bandit, Ive never come across a colour like it. In some lights it looks blue and in other lights, purple.

(Colour ouside in natural light.)

Top to bottom - Dynasty, Button Moon, BMX Bandit, Hoola Hoop.

The application of these polishes are all top quality. They apply smoothly and are totally opaque with 2 coats. I LOVE the brush! Its a very similar brush to OPI's pro wide brushes. I'm a huge fan of wide brushes, It just makes application so simple and quick.


Another thing i love is the bottle, So dinky and cute, looks adorable on my shelf...The bottle is very small and you only get 8ml of polish, But for £1.79 what could you expect? Plus i never finnish a full bottle of polish anyway, so the size does not bother me one bit.

The lasting power of the polishes is average, About 2 or 3 days then it starts to chip, with a good topcoat like Seche vite, it would last longer though.

I highly recommend these polishes, Lovely colours, great application, fast drying, cute bottles and really really cheap!
Im definitly going back to superdrug to buy more!

Sephora By OPI - Call Your Mother ♥

I got these in the post this week, all the way from America, Exciting!

I purchased The well known Metro Chic and took a gamble on Call your mother.
They are both gorgeous colours, I havnt tried Metro Chic yet, Because i'm currently sporting (...and LOVING!) Call Your Mother.


Its a Realy unique musky lilac with dirty grey undertones. Its a very sophisticated colour thats fun and quirky at the same time. Ive been searching for a colour like this for ages. I think it will be perfect for winter!
(Please excuse the nails, they are in recovery process from when I had Acrylic nails!)

The brush is not like the regular wide OPI brushes, It's just your average nail polish brush. I much prefer the wide brushes, but its not a problem since the colour is so fantastic.
It goes on smoothly and I only needed 2 coats for it to be opaque.
As for the wear, Ive had the polish on for 3 days now, and have only a slight chip on my thumb nail and thats all! So, its quite hard wearing considering most polishes only last a day or 2 on me!



10/10!
