Over the past few months I've managed to build up quite a wee collection of new nail varnishes!! The Nails Inc ones are those that I mentioned ordering in January when I was severely in debt! So they came and I didn't have time to put up post about what with exams and back to uni etc... So now I've got another two to add to it I decided it was about time :)
From left to right: Rose Quartz (Avon), China Town, Wimpole Street, Primrose Hill Road, Block Orange (Barry M), Shelton Street.
All of these have two coats except for China Town and Shelton Street; I put them all over Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Basecoat. Click the photo to zoom :)
Rose Quartz - I bought this from Avon for £5. It is a lovely pale pink colour with a gorgeous multi-coloured shimmer which is very sparkly under sunlight. It definitely needs a couple of coats and still looks slightly streaky but I quite like the way it looks!
China Town - In the bottle this looks really pretty, it is a cerise pink with a very subtle purple shimmer. Unfortunately when on your nails the shimmer doesn't show up very well as the pink is very thick and sort of drowns it out! However it only needs one coat and still looks nice on.
Wimpole Street - Just your average deep purpley shimmery nail varnish, very nice :)
Primrose Hill Road - Now this one had ups and downs for me! When i saw it I was expecting a bright red, but when it arrived i saw it was more of an orange so i put it aside. Then a few weeks ago i wanted to wear an orangey red nail varnish and thought, hey! here's one i can use! - But no... it comes out more of a 'Barbie red' according to one of the girls at my work. It also dries extremely matte, and even with two coats it's still not completely opaque. I was quite disappointed by this one although once you get over the surprise from it, then it is actually alright and I'll still wear it!
Block Orange - This is from Barry M for the bargain price of £2.95. It's a thick and very bold orange which I am totally loving!! Comes out with a nice shine to it also.
Shelton Street - Limited edition from Nails Inc which is quite good for a purely glitter nail varnish, it gives a good covering of glitter over the nail which is pretty even. Can be used alone but also over another colour to give it a wee gold pop! I recommend using a top coat as the glitter is rather scratchy!!

So that's all my polishes for the moment! Colours for this spring are oranges and corals, I think I'll probably pick myself up a coral one from Barry M at some point. I'm also still after a cream mint green colour - although they're a bit passed now but I don't care!!
Now I am going to take them all off before work tomorrow!
