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...

Avon Nailwear Pro+ and Nail Gems Review!

So cause my Nan is so nice she decided to get me a little gift. She knows that I like to try new products, especially nail polish, so she got me some products from Avon. I already have some of their nail polishes and love them so I know that these should be just as good!

So the nail polishes are the Nailwear Pro+, these are there selection of polishes that have acrylic gel in them for strength and Dura-Plus Complex. They are meant to have 12 days of lasting colour, and also they have a shine and nick-resistant finish. So far I can say that the strength part has worked really well as my nails are so strong, so if you have weak nails this would be a great nail polish for you. The lasting power of the polish is fab it lasts at least 4 to 5 days without chipping so it could easily do a week. However I'm not sure if it dose last 12 days as I haven't had it on that long, but the reviews on their site shows that it can stretch that far! Then lastly for the shine, its not super shiny but just enough to make your nails look polished, and the nick-resistant so far has been amazing! This is a huge plus for me as some how I always chip my nail polish so fast, so to not have to re-paint my nails is such a time saver!

The colours I got are Sea Breeze and Viva Pink, and I absolutely love these colours and they are perfect for spring and summer! Avon have a wide selection of colours for this type of polish, they have 20 more excluding the ones I have!

So this next product is their Nail Gems, they are very brightly coloured gems which helps to create a professional looking nail art. I've never tried nail gems before because I really don't have the patience to sit and try and pick up small gems and faff around trying to get them on. So really I was thinking putting them on would be a mare, but hold up... It was so easy! Avon has easily separated out the gems in this cool little container which you can turn the top to get the gems out that you want so they do not go everywhere. Also if you by the nail gems you get a applicator half price. Which I would defiantly recommend getting as it helps a lot!

It was so much easier to pick them up and place on my nails! Its brilliant for any nail art and great for precision, its made from stainless steel and is about 9cm in length.

So this is how my nails came out, now I'm not a professional or good at nail art so don't judge ;) But for my first attempt I think I did pretty well! You can see that the gems are very small which in some cases can be good if you want to add load but at times can me a but fiddly. When my Nan gave me these it didn't come with instructions which kinda sucks, but I look on their website and they said that when your nail polish is drying add the gems then once dry add a top coat. This did work however I felt they didn't stay on for too long and if one falls off then your left with a hole in your nail polish. So what I did was used eyelash glue to stick them down which worked so well and they have lasted longer than I expected!

The price of everything is very reasonable, the nail polish being £6 each and at they are half price on their website! The gems being £3 and now are £2.50 and the applicator being £3 on its own but brought with the gems £1.50. I think that Avon nail polishes are defiantly one of my top favourite brands, and I can't wait to try more products by them! Overall I would recommend this product to anyone, epically for the gems it can be great way to create amazing nail are for pros, or beginners to nail art like me. 

I hoped you liked this review, leave comments below on what your thoughts are on these products and what you think about avon ^_^ until next time have an awesome, amazing day...
