I seem to be harbouring a slight obsession for new nail polish. Admittedly, for the past few years, nails haven’t really been ‘my thing’. Don’t get me wrong I’ve always *tried* to ensure my nails have been kept reasonably presentable… a few layers of whatever polish was close to hand (& if feeling really adventurous) a dab of rose oil on the cuticles to keep them from withering before my very eyes.
.
Yet recently, my desire for an eye catching mani has somehow snowballed to the point where I can barely go a week without sneaking into Boots to gaze & decide upon which lucky colour will be joining my expanding collection next… which of course brings me rather neatly onto this week’s video: Organising My Nail Polish Collection.
So if you fancy taking a peek at a few of my favourite nail goodies then pop the kettle on, get comfy and we’ll take a quick run through my much loved stash!
.
What’s your favourite polish at moment? Have you any ‘fabulous for fall’ recommendations?
Cheerio Chums….
…
Catch me on:
Love blackberry 🙂 This is such a fun videa, really nice to see you go through the entire collection.

Oooh that’s my fav right now Anne, I’m just in love with the dark nails… still trying to get used to the grey though. Think it’s just such a new shade for me that it will take a bit of time to get used to 🙂 Awwh thank you so much – you’re so darn encouraging chummy *huge hugs* xxxxxx

Oh yes, it is the weather for dark nails as well.
I also bought some greys after our last discussion, and I love the blue-ish or green-ish greys, but I am still getting used to the proper greys..not sure I like them either. xx

Yeahhh, that’s kinda where I am with it… I seem to like the more lavendar greys or beige/stone colours. Just not sure plain grey on it’s own is doing it for me Anne!! Once again we find ourselves on the same page!! lol xxx

So fun getting to peek at your nail polish collection! I loved that lavender-blue shade in particular but you’re right, it’s more of a summer shade. And you have so many gorgeous shimmer colors! As far as recommendations go, it just so happens my post today is about my favorite nail polish shades for fall: http://bit.ly/1RoBGRj Yay!
