Nail Polish Collection 2023 #Blogmas2023
I don't have a big collection like I used to and you can see the previous collections how small it has gotten, I don't paint my nails anymore because I get them professionally done but here is what I still have. Also note after taking the photos for this I painted my toe nails because they were naked.

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #17: Essie vs. OPI
I had these two in my collection and thought 'oh, are these a dupe?' so I put them to the test. PACKAGING ( Essie ): I am a bit OCD when it comes to my nail polish, I love the squared/rectangular packaging because they store easier and nicer. PACKAGING (OPI): OPI's packaging isn't bad, the bottle looks sleek and is well known as OPI. CLAIMS (Essie): Provides flawless coverage along with outstanding durability Brush fits every nail size for streak-free application Intense rich

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #13: Essie vs. OPI
I have mentioned a few times (I think) that my favourite nail polish is Essie in Fiji, it's a really nice colour on pale skin tones as well as dark, I saw that there is an OPI dupe for it (according to Pinterest) and I have that shade in my collection so thought I would put them to the test. Prepped my nails prior to painting them by filing, buffing and pushing my cuticles back. First coat is patchy. Second coat and both still patchy. Third coat and the Essie is a solid colou

Nail Polish Collection 2018 #Blogmas2018
I have stored my nail polish on top of my makeup drawers and thought I would show you them now before I redo my room and have a different way to organise them. What I have done is put them in brands on this blog post so you can see what I have but at the beginning I have put the treatments, basecoats, topcoats etc together. Also thought I would mention I am not a trained nail tech. Treatments & Bits Barry M Basecoat, Topcoat & Nail Hardener All In One Barry M Matte Topcoat Ba
