My Nail Polish Collection!

So today I am showing you guys my nail polish collection! I have done loads of posts on nail polish and as my collection is getting rather big I thought I'd share it with you! I love these posts as I love to find out about new brands and amazing shades! So I hope you enjoy this post ^_^ 

Firstly, how I store my Nail Polish. I store in this insanely cute box which I got for christmas with the Mark Jacobs Dot perfume, body wash and moisturiser 

As you can see in side its not really organised at all! I don't really go by brand when choosing, I just go by what colour strikes me the most that day. However, this way of storing it is not the best as I have to pick up the bottle to see the colour, though I could store them upside down but I'm too scared they will leak! So if you guys have any good ways of storing nail polish let me know! In the box I also keep a Lush bath bomb, I don't know why ahah! Nail stickers, beads, gems and fur... yes nail fur! ;)

So first we have two from Bourjois Paris in the shades - Its raining stars and Dangerous wish! They are gel nail polishes with a silicone texture so they last longer, which they do!

Next is OPI which is one of my favourite nail polish brand, the colours are amazing they last a long time and dry pretty quick too! So the colours I have are - Just a little rosti at this, Rally pretty pink and melon of troy.

As you can see I have more Avon nail polishes than any other, this is because they are my other favourite to OPI! I have 8 in total, so going from left to right... I have a mosaic effect in white, speed dry+ in twilight blue and red wine, nailwear pro+ in the shades starry sky, viva pink and sea breeze and lastly the gel finishes is orange crush and sheer love.

So next is Barry M and everyone raves about these polishes and I've only jumped on to this! So far I'm really impressed with the ones I have which are shade I don't know doesn't have a colour, but I think the code is, 324 ;) next is a crackle nail polish in 315 and last is a foil effect in 319! 

Next is 17, which is a brand made by Boots so you can only get them there. I love these polishes they have so many amazing colours and the prices are really reasonable too! I have them in Glitter Top Coat, Orange Soda, Sphinx, Risky Red and Black.

These two are from Max Factor and they are the mini nail polishes! I think that they are my favorite nail polishes to use in the summer and as you can see I'm nearly running out of them :/ the colours are Cool Jade and Dazzling Blue

Next are ones that came in a set from Boots around Christmas time, and my Nan and Grandad got me these not last Christmas but the one before! These are the brand Champneys but I don't know if they are sold else where. I love these and the top coat is the best I have ever used! and they are Plum, Flamingo, Top Coat, Midnight and Raspberry.

These ones my Nan and Grandad got me too but last Christmas. I think they are from boots too and the brand is Colour Unlimited, and they don't have any shades but you can see what colour they are ;)

These are nail fur and nail beads which came with the nail polishes in a kit together. I have not used these yet but when I do I'll let yo know how it goes!

And lastly are some nail polishes are from Colour Works which I got when I was like 13 ahah They are actually really good nail polishes even though they are cheap! and I dunno if your meant to keep nail polishes for 4 years but they still work fine so hey ho ;) 

So in total I have 36 nail polishes which I think is a nice amount for me! If you have any recommendations of brands that I should try let me know because I would love to expand my horizon ^_^ Until next time have an awesome amazing day...

Barry M Limited Addition Nail Polish - Review

The other day I went out out on a trek to find a bright yellow nail polish for summer, purely because I've never tried a yellow nail polish before :D So I dragged Sam with me to searched high and low in Superdrug and Boots, before I came to the Barry M section in boots. Now I have never brought a product by Barry M before so I was a bit wary about buying something from them. But I thought, you know what live life on the edge for once, yeah ;) 

I brought one of there new limited addition nail polishes, but I can't tell you what colour it is because i don't know. This may be because there is no name for the colour or i just cant find it :P but if it is on the bottle then i should assume that the colour is either NPLEB13B or vernis à ongles???? I have no idea ahahah But the better thing is that they are only £3.99 each which is AMAZZZINGGG! :DDD

Application –

The application is really good and easy to do. The brush is quite large so you can apply the nail polish in a few strokes :) The colour is rather sheer and needs a few coats to get a good opaque colour. The bottle recommends that you put a base coat underneath before you apply the nail polish. I tried the nail polish with no base coat underneath and it lasted a pretty long time, which was to my surprise :333     

Colour - 

The colour yellow is perfect for the summer time, and we should all own a nail polish in this colour! :D it especially looks good against tanned skin. Or if your like me and lily white, the colour makes you skin look more tanned then you already are :DD like I mentioned before, the colour with one coat is rather sheer. It needs at least two coats, but that isn't much of a problem. I found that the nail polish dried within a minute or so, therefore as soon as you have done your hand you can go back and start again with the next coat :3 this is not the only colour in there collection, there are three more. However, only two are sold in Boots and the other two are sold in Superdrugs. There is a light baby pink, a green and a hot pink for sale. The hot pink and yellow are sold in Boots and the green and baby pink are sold in Superdrugs. :333 

How Long It Lasts - 
Firstly, I tried it with no base or top coat, I found that the nail polish started to chip within a few days. But that may be because I am a very hands on person, so my nail polish does chip a lot. However without the base and top coats the Barry M nail polish lasted a good week before it started to chip badly :D Which really is good considering it was just the polish on its own. I normally only wear nail polish for about a week because I like to switch the colour up a bit ;) 

After testing it out that way, I decided to re-test but with base coat. I found that this made the nail polish stay on for much, much, much longer than before. It lasted 2 weeks which could have gone on longer, but i get board easy so i changed the colour ;) So if you are looking for a nail polish that last a long time then i would suggest Barry M's nail polish :DDD

Overall I really am glad that I chose a Barry M nail polish and will certainly buy more considering how cheap they are :D leave a comment below telling me your fav summer nail polish shades :33 

Have an awesome, amazing fabulous day...
