The Nail Varnish Obsession

So many nail varnishes, so little time.

I've been obsessed with  nail varnish since I was about 6 years old. I would always pick the girly magazines with the best free gift and if it had a free nail varnish I was there, bam! I remember when I was about 11 there was a new brand that I got free called Nails Inc. and now they're huge! Wish I'd kept it. Probs got it somewhere.

I bought this plastic display from amazon.com, I think it was under a tenner so not a bad purchase! I keep it on my dressing table and it's so easy just to look at my nail varnishes and pick what I want to use as before they were just shoved into a box. I sometimes pretend to myself that my room is Boots and I'm selecting a nail varnish and don't even have to pay for it. But I'm not. It's my room. Sadface.

The back row is all Barry M. I luuurve this brand just because they have so many different colours that you can struggle to get in other brands. Plus they're pretty cheap compared to other brands, most are either £2.99 or £3.99. Bargain! Plus the glitter ones are quite frankly amazeballs. My favourite is Amethyst Glitter. It's got pink, purple, silver and blue sparkles and is oh so pretty! Pain to get off though. Ah well.

My other top notch favourite is a gorgey colour from the So Laque Glossy collection from Bourjois. The shade is Vermis a ongles. I think it is anyway, it's in French so I'm really not sure, it could be like the 'Do not eat' bit for all I know, but it's basically a lovely pale green. I use a pink striper over the top and I call it my mint and strawberry ice cream nails. Ha ha, how amusing of myself. 

Another good buy is the Basecoat, Top Coat and Nail Hardener from Barry M, on the second row. I always put a coat underneath and over the top just for good luck. 

Hope you enjoyed my first post!

Ta-ra!
