Love at first shine ♔

It's here!


I love it!


It's my very first Essie nail polish!....


Photobucket


Say hello to a 'Shine Of The Times'.


This will be on my weekend mani which I will now be posting tomorrow as I have to repaint my nails now this has arrived. It also arrived with 3 new friends


Lasting finish, Rimmel Lasting Finish


Wish, Dream & Angel (aren't they pretty names)


My new mani will be using one of these colours with the shine of the times as a topcoat but first I have to decide which colour so for now I will leave you with my current mani....

Mini Polish Haul ♔.....

Well yes I know It's meant to be Midweek Mani Day but I've decided that thursday might aswell be Midweek Mani day as they have been for the past 2 weeks plus I just really wanted to show you my goodies I've got today.....


As you all know in my previous post I showed my updated storage & today I've acquired  4 more pretty polish's....


Photobucket



2 Revlon Polish's in Lunar & Sweet Tart & 2 Barry M polish's in Vivid Purple & Black (you can never have too many black polishs). Here are some quick swatches of the colours ignore the messy application I just wanted to try them out...



Photobucket



Revlon 'Sweet Tart' - It's pink I have loads of reds & pinks & it's sort of like my Rimmel Londons 'Strawberry Fizz' only not scented but something about it caught my eye, the brush in this seem rather thin but it works well, it does need 3 coats to become opaque but dry's pretty quickly & looks really cute on I may wear this at the weekend.


Revlon 'Lunar' - I love black nail polish, if I'm ever stuck on picking a colour I always go to black it's just so versatile & like the staple little black dress it can be dressed up or down depending on my mood. Revlon's 'Lunar' is a deep glossy black with a slightly grey/green tinge in the bottle but  amazing it was completely opaque in 1 coat although I always do 2 for good measure it was so glossy & shiny this will definatly be a favourite.


Barry M 'Black' - Another black polish this is not as opaque as the Revlon polish but after 2 coats it's glossy & completely opaque, Although you can't tell in the picture the black is not as deep as the Revlon black but still looks great


Barry M 'Vivid Purple' - A very pretty purple, A very deep pretty purple. Purple (I know how many times can I say purple in one paragraph?) But purple is one of my favourite colours along with Turquoise. My bedroom is also purple & so is this polish It's a very close dupe to my Avon Decadence but I find it a much better consistency. it is completely opaque in one coat but is shown above with 2 coats. It has a sort of metallic shimmer to it & looks amazing under lights & daylight. Another weekend maybe.


So this weekends nails are between Barry M 'Vivid Purple' & Revlon 'Sweet Tart' which do you prefer?

My Nail Polish Emporium!...♔

As you may remember I did a post on my nail polish collection & storage which looked like this.....


Photobucket

Well I am so stupidly excited by what I have just purchased I may actually cry. This is only something that my fellow polish addicts will understand the rest of you will most likely think I'm bonkers (which is actually true) but it is beautiful! I'm shedding a tear as we speak (or I type but I'm reading it all in my head anyway) It fits all my polish's in as they are all in different sized bottles it would hold less of the larger bottles such as OPI & Revlon.


My only concern is do I store them by colour....


Photobucket


or by brand....


Nail Polish Rack


I do prefer having them in colour as its easier to see what colour I want but visually because all the bottles are different sizes it looks better by brand, either way I love it! You have nooo idea how long it took me to find this bad boy! I must have googled, ebayed, & amazoned nail polish racks a bazilion times & I never managed to find one that holds more than 30 polish's for less than £60 but here it is the new love of my life (sorry Josh) isnt it amazing!


I had seen on another site which advertised it as being £35 with free P+P then added £7 VAT at checkout then insisted I had to spend at LEAST £50 BEFORE VAT which when i attempted made my seemingly cheap polish rack at £35 now cost me £67! RIDICULOUS is the word you are looking for. Enter Amazon *insert soppy face* this only cost £35 + £1.60 P+P! This is actually my Valentine present from my lovely lovely boyfriend he doesn't quite get my obsession lol.


This is the first time I'd seen a rack that held over 90 bottles on the UK site they have loads on the US site (stupid england) but anyhoooo I'm rambling so what do you think?.


I've also been a busy little bee buying and ordering different nail art equipment but untill it all arrives I won't be going through everything individually but for now here are my updated storage boxes....


Nail Art Storage


How do you store your nail polishs & equipment? & am I a bad polish lover for not owning any China Glaze, Essie or OPI polish's? I feel bad about it....
