Right, as one of my first posts I thought I would share my ever growing collection of nail varnish. Now, before Christmas, I went a bit mental buying Nails Inc varnish, and as my collection grew, I passed on my (rather small) collection of cheaper nail varnish to my sister, as I was only really using my Nails Inc ones. So you will notice that the vast majority of my nail varnishes are Nails Inc, and I really, really love them. They are so easy to apply, they last as well as any nail varnish can on my nails, and their colours are always bang on trend. I really and truly cannot fault their polishes, they're just fab. In saying that however, I have recently started to buy some cheaper nail varnishes alongside my Nails Inc collection, mainly in colours that are "in fashion" but that I am not too sure I'll like or wear that often, and I must admit that I have found some gems.
Another thing I will add before revealing my stash, is that some people may notice the lack of crackle polishes in my collection. I simply just am not sold on this trend, I'm not all that keen on the effect, not my cup of tea! Sorry to all you crackle fans out there!!!

Phew! So there you have it, my nail varnish stash. I'd like to say that a lot of these I buy in sets, as you can usually get 4 in a set for £25, whilst a single Nails Inc polish is usually £11. So whilst it looks like an expensive stash, and to an extent it is, its not as bad as it initially looks haha! I love how most of the Nails Inc varnishes are named after places in London as well...I'm a sucker for a polish with a nice name!
I am looking to branch out in the brands I use, next on my list is Topshop, and now that butter:LONDON finally have "No More Waity Katie" on their UK site I'm looking to invest in some of their polishes soon! I know a lot of pictures aren't great, I'm that good a photographer and my camera isn't the best, but if you want a better photo of a polish and/or a swatch just leave me a comment :)
Hope you enjoyed reading (if anyone is??) Bye for now!
