Nail Polish Collection

Like any collection, I feel it's important to have a variety even if it means that your collection contains something quite quirky or different to what you'd usually use/wear. Over the years I've owned a collection of nail varnishes as they were always given as presents when I was younger or I would buy girly magazines which offered the freebie of a sparkly nail polish. Every 6 months I've tried to get rid of most of my collection either because the polishes aren't very good or that I personally am not fond of the colors anymore. I've ended up with this...

In the spirit of New Years, I've decided that I'm going to try and re-build my old collection by purchasing nail polishes from the drugstores that hopefully will be of higher quality than my ancient freebies.

Here's a few different items in my collection...

Recently I've added two new sparkled nail polishes - Maybelline Color Show in Tutti Fruity and Claires in Little Angel. I rarely like wearing sparkly nail polish on my finger nails, therefore I've been really enjoying both of these on my toe nails to feel a bit more glamorous and festive.

The one nail product that stands out is my BarryM Matte Nail Paint in Vanilla (341). This is one of my favourite nail products as it's a very neutral color with a slick matte finish which has been quite popular in the past year or so and it's also different to what I'd usually wear - variety.

I've received two new polishes from Rimmel for Christmas - 320 Rapid Ruby and 300 Pop Your Pink. I've only had the chance to use Rapid Ruby and so far I really love it. You only need one coat as it's a very strong red with a lovely finish. I look forward to using Pop Your Pink in the near future as it's nice to have a bright pink on your nails I feel.

The newest addition is one I bought the other day in Boots when Maybelline were having a 3 for 2 deal - this will be discussed in a future post. It's another Maybelline Color Show in the color Berry Fusion and it's quite metallic compared to the Rimmel Polishes. I'm wearing this color currently on my nails and it looks really lovely and isn't sheer in the slightest.

As I said, I hope to add to this small collection by adding more variety over the next year. I hope you all had a great New Years Eve and Happy New Year everybody!
