Nail Varnish Collection: Part 1

Hi everyone :)

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while, I didn't have such a great weekend as my cat had to be put to sleep, she was 15 years old and I've had her since I was about 4 or 5 years old, so it was pretty sad and since then I haven't felt like doing very much but I have a Nail Varnish Collection post for you today, I wouldn't say I have loads of nail varnish but I do have more than I probably need haha.

So, lets get started. Below are all my nail varnishes together, they're in a plastic tray because I store them in little storage drawers which I bought from Wilkinsons last year.

I'll start with Models Own. I have 10 polishes from Models Own and I want more! I love them, the packaging is simple but not tacky and the actual polish dries really fast! the only thing I'm not too keen on is the price tag, they're only £5 so it's not like they're expensive but if you're buying more than one they quickly add up however Models Own always have a buy 3 save £3/Buy 5 save £7 offer on their website so I normally buy mine there. They're also available from Boots stores.

Dusty Mauve, Purple Grey, Peach Sherbet & Coral Reef

 Juicy Jules, Champagne, Pink Blush & Lili's Pink

Grace Green & Nude Beige

Out of all my Models Own polishes I would say my favourite is Nude Beige as it's just a nice simple colour and its not too in your face so it's prefect for everyday wear.

Next up, Barry M. Barry M nail varnishes are available from Superdrug and Boots and online, I normally buy Barry M in Superdrug or Boots so I can't say if they do offers online or not. Barry M once again, the packaging is alright, not my personal favourite but I guess it's the product inside that people care about more and Barry M varnishes are great, they dry nicely and they do a good range of colours.

319 Silver Foil, 320 Gold Foil, 272 Shocking Pink, 309 Strawberry Ice Cream & 279 Bright Pink

295 Pure Turquoise, 307 Lemon Ice Cream, 293 Grey & 311 Nail Effects Black

262 Bright Red, 273 Raspberry, 304 Mint Green, 308 Berry Ice Cream & 312 Indigo

Out of all my Barry M polishes I like Raspberry and Berry Ice Cream the most :) Most Barry M nail varnishes are priced at £2.99 which is really good as they're a great brand. They've recently just bought out their own Magnetic Nail varnish too which is about £3.99-£4.99 all depending on where you're buying from.

ELF (Eyes Lips Face) is up next, I discovered ELF quite a few years ago actually when I was still at school and had little money, everything on the basic range is £1.50 and this is where the nail varnishes come in... they're only £1.50 and you'd think they'd be bad quality but they're actually pretty good! they're not the fastest drying and sometimes the swatches online aren't that great but at the end of the day they only cost £1.50 each which compared to Models Own is really good. You can only buy ELF products online in the UK but if you become a Fan of them on facebook they often have good offers on like free delivery and 20% off etc.

Lilac, Innocent, Champagne & Mod Mauve

Fire Coral, Passion Pink, Mattefinisher, Smoky Brown (for some reason this one has bits of orange in it :S)

PS. I also have an ELF polish in 'Nude' but my mum had it in her room so I forgot all about it.

Out of my ELF polishes I quite like Fire Coral and Innocent.

Up next is my Rimmel Colletion, when I was younger and had pocket money ;) I used to buy Rimmel nail varnishes and ONLY Rimmel... I don't know why but I never bought any other brand other than Rimmel. I guess I liked their colour range and the packagining. Rimmel is available in Superdrug, Boots, selected Tesco, Sainsburys and Adsa's and I've even seen them in Wilko before!

198 Azure, 825 Sky High, 045 Misty Jade & 236 Green Grass

270 Hot Shot, 021 Magenta Magic, 420 Sunrise & 055 Sunshine

610 Pompous, 193 Black Cherries, 275 Electric! & 291 Urban Princess

080 Black Cab, 325 Hot Gossip, 085 London Clouds

I probably had more than this but as you know Nail Varnishes do dry up after a while. I can't really pick a favourite out of these, as I said I like their colour range so most of them are colours I would wear a lot. I like Electric, Black Cherries, Pompous, Magenta Magic & Sunrise the most though :)

So, as I have a few more to do I've decided to do this post in two parts. I'll probably post the next part tomorrow. I hope you've enjoyed reading, tell me your favourite brands in the comments or what your favourite colour is :)
