My NAIL POLISH Collection

 

I have been away for several days, so to make it up, I have decided to show you my steadily growing nail polish collection (which should have been posted with my make-up collection a couple of months ago).

As I’ve caught myself many times wanting the polishes which are practically dupe of some other polish I have, I found some time and took photos of the polishes in my collection which I have sorted according to colour.

I can already see the benefits, as I have slowly composed the list of the shades I need to have.

I wanted to add the links to the polishes I’ve already swatches, but the computer I’m currently using is incredibly slow (and it is adsl). I can’t believe that my blog logs faster on dial-up connection.

 

So, here’s the collection (names are from left to right):

NOTD Chanel Rose Cache + Golden Rose #68

I have bought this beautiful Golden Rose nail polish just recently – at first it seemed like an ugly silver glitter, but then I have noticed that there are flecks of red, green and blue glitter. I couldn’t wait to try it, so I put it over my current nail polish: Chanel Le Vernis in Rose Cache.

The ingredients:

2 coats of Chanel Le Vernis Rose Cache

2 coats of Golden Rose #69

I wanted to put the glitter in gradients – so that there is less glitter close to the nail beds and a lot on the tips of the nails. I put one really thin layer of Golden Rose #69 polish over the nail. After it has dried, I’ve put a large drop of Golden Rose #69 polish on the tip of the nail. I’ve waited for 15 seconds and then spread the drop with the light swipe towards the nail bed. This way, the biggest concentration of glitter was on the nail tip.
