Shop my Stash: Nail Polish

Heey,

I recently watched an old video made by Louise (Sprinkle of Glitter) and Zoe (Zoella), it was called 'Shop my Stash' and what they did was go through all of their beauty products that they had forgotten about and shared what they were, making the promise to use them more in the future. I think this is a very good idea because it's almost like buying a new product but without the price tag. I have a few beauty things I want to use but recently I sorted out all of my nail polishes and I had over 100! I found ones that I had forgotten about and some I had never used before, I can't wait for the weekend when I will almost certainly be painting my nails using one of the colours from today's post !

I have picked 6 of my nail polishes that I want to use more. I'm not sure on the prices of some because they were mostly presents and/or came in a pack but a few I did buy for myself.

329 Magnetic Violet Nail Paint by Barry M I bought this colour a while back in the Summer when the Magnetic style was really on trend. I love the colour purple and I think that this is a very unique shade. I was confused at first as to how you used it but what you do is apply the nail polish and as it's half way through drying, you put the small bridge on the cap to the cuticle area of your nails, hold it there for about 30 seconds then when you take it away, the nail polish has become (in this case) stripy. Most of the colours have different effects but liked the combination of this one.

44 Parma Violet 60 Seconds Hot Looks by Collection This nail polish was a birthday present from my Auntie and Uncle (as well as other things) I have never worn but I love the colour, I know it' more of a Winter colour than a Summer colour so I would have to wear it sooner rather than later but I really love this shade of purple. I've heard from my friends that the Collection nail vanishes aren't too bad and that it's a bit too watery, however I will just have to see for myself! These polishes are very cheap and you can get them from Boots.

Grapefruit Gelly Hi- Shine by Barry M and Lambada by Strictly Come Dancing Another birthday present but this time from my sisters. I asked for the Gelly nail polishes this year and I received 3 from my half sisters. The other 2 are 'Blueberry' and 'Guava' if you wanted to know and the reason they aren't in this post is because I have used them quite a few times! I do love the colour of this nail polish but I've never been brave enough to wear it and seen as I got it at the end of summer I though that I would save it until this Summer. You may have noticed that there are 2 nail polishes in the picture and sub-title and that is because they are basically the same colour! I was given a set of 12 nail polishes last Christmas from my parents and I are for some reason by 'Strictly Come Dancing' (a UK dancing celebrity talent show) but the formula and colours are surprisingly good. Because they were the same colour I put both in because I haven't used either of them before.

W7 Nail Polish Top Coat/Clear It seams that no one knows what to get me other than Nail Polishes for my birthday! This was in a set with 4 other colours from W7. The other 4 were really pretty colour but they weren't solid, they were crackle! Anyway, I haven't really used any of the colours so I can't say if W7 will be any good, but the reason the whole set isn't here is because a) it will take too long to write and b) I can't really be bothered. However I am including this one because in 2014 I am on the search for the best top coat under £5! That is what I am calling my 'Nail years Resolution' ;) Do you get it?

246 Park Ave by NYC For once I actually bough myself a nail polish! This is one of my most resent additions to the collection and the reason I bough this was because my Mum recently won a nail polish in this colour and it was really nice but expensive. My Mum won't let me use it so I went out and bough one in the same colour but obviously a lot cheaper! After I bought it (on a Sunday I think) I put it on to see what it was like and I loved it! But because I had school the next day I had to take it off and put it in my nail vanish box, never to be seen again... UNTIL NOW! This is defiantly a winter colour and I think it may be the net one I will be sporting ;).

Phew, finally finished, I hope you enjoyed this post or maybe gave you a craving to paint your nails, I certainly have! 

Have you tried any of these colours? 

Hugs and kisses
