My. Entire. Collection

So a few people have been asking to see my collection.  Fun! though I, it can't possibly that bad! Well... I don't think there's much to say other than just to show you...


Balls. That's a lot of polish. 


Pretty though, right? 
I don't really know how I feel about this.  I actually counted and my brain tried to multiply that by the average cost but I'm definitely not really for that yet.  I love this blog, and always want to make sure I have new and interesting things to show you. I think if I just slow down, only buy polishes I absolutely love, I think I'll be ok.  In the mean time, back to the Helmer for all you lot!

On a happier note, let's take a look at some of the more unique close-ups.  If there's anything in there you can see you want to see closer, just let me know in the comments.

The Verdict: I HAVE A LOT OF NAIL POLISHES AND DIDN'T THINK THROUGH HAVING TO LABEL ALL THE PHOTOS.  Again, if there's something here you want to see swatched, I'd love help picking and I'll take all the close-ups you want.

Yay nail polish!

  4. What's with the stickey dots? I'm guessing it's some kind of organisational system? (I like to know how people organise things...)
    Awesome colletion! :)

    1. The dots were supposed to help me keep track of what I had and hadn't swatched. Red for reviewed, yellow for not reviewed, green for new and blue for duplicate but it was too hard to keep up.

      As for actually organising them, I keep them by brand in a Helmer. Now to find a way to get a second one without my bf getting all "oh y u have so many nail polishes" on me :D

    2. Oh dear, yeah it must be impossible- I don't have anywhere near as many polishes as you and I still find it hard!

      I'm thinking of getting a Helmer too- my polishes are ok in my current drawers, but I can't open more than one drawer at a time without it toppling over!

      Hmm, good luck with that... I'm sure he must have an expensive hobby you can trade off with?

  5. This is a crazy amount of polish! I think we, as commenters, need to rally for an online intervention.



    Just kidding, this is her partner. If she doesn't ask me how much my expensive hobbies are I wont ask of hers :P

    1. Noooo you aren't supposed to read my blog! You're supposed to see that there's a set of drawers that has an amount of nail polish in it and never ask questions!

Review: Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles is Accurately Named

It's amazing what you can find when you wander around at night.  My favourite time to go shopping is ridiculously late and I'm extra happy when it pays off.  I've been looking for Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles for a while now at that couldn't be more up my alley if it tried.  I finally managed to find it in a Shoppers last night and it really does live up to its name. A Million Sparkles is a predominately blue glitter that has an amazing ability to look like a foil after a couple of coats.  Combine that with gold, silver and pink bar glitter and you have a winner.  It's seriously so sparkly I got distracted from what I was saying at lunch today.  Application is decent but you really need four coats to get completely opaque coverage.  That's ok, glitter dries fast.  It's a little rough too but nothing Seche Vite can't fix.  The Verdict:  Yay glitter! If, like me, you like sparklies to the point where it's the biggest tag on y

Review: JENsations Stars in Space and S'mores

Guess what everyone?  I'm going to review some indie polishes that you can actually buy without having to wait for email messages!  Yay!  And sparkly too!  Imagine all the holo glory as while my lightbox produces lovely even white light, it saps any and all rainbows from manis, leaving me to try to take pictures in my kitchen like a barbarian.  It may not sound that hard but when you use a manual focus 60mm macro lens that has a wafer-thin depth of field, it's not the easiest.  Anyway, let's take a look at two, that's right, two, beautiful polishes from JENsations , Stars in Space and S'mores. First up, Stars in Space.  I started with two coats of Zoya Caprice, a very bright purple creme that you'll be seeing a lot of as it makes for a great base.  Next, two coats of Stars in Space, the most fabulous mix of silver holo glitter.  There's stars, squares (man, I love square glitter), hexes and micro glitter.  I liked this one as there was enough glitter on
