    Not confessing my stash - ever!

    This thread though is definitely not moneysaving. Dropping into Sainsbury's this morning found me eyeing up the nail polish there. Fortunately nothing terribly appealing but had I had reason to go into town then I'm sure a bottle or two would have found its way home with me :p

    I think it could take me a full weekend to update my stash list :eek: I will though, as I do have a problem; as I realised on seeing 10+ bottles on my bedside table this morning...

    I have somewhere in the order of 40 bottles and I thought I was bad :eek:

    At the moment, sat here with Rimmel 60 Seconds Funtime Fuscia with MUA purple crackle over the top. Its a combo that gets a lot of looks.

    I only really started playing with nail polishes recently but I've really fallen in love with the Rimmel 60 Seconds ones and the Maybelline 40s.

    My top colour of the moment is Rimmell Rapid Ruby, a delicious dark red/brown. Goes on beautifully in one coat too!

    You don't need a steady hand for all of it:D Have you thought of trying water marbling? No need to keep your hands still for that it's just dipping them in water:D

    Oh my gosh i had no idea this existed! where have i been!!

    I've watched videos on youtube but they use false nails - could you apply it to a natural nail easily?

    Yep, I do mine on my natural nail:D

    Just make sure you apply a decent base coat first.

    It's super messy at first before you get used to covering up the around your nails with tape/vaseline :rotfl: I had bright purple fingers for a few days after my first attempt!:D

    :rotfl::eek:

    This is one of my first goes so not that great but it's on natural nails so you can see it works fine :j

    I picked up 3 Sally Hansen HD colours yesterday in poundland, might be of use to some of you. I'm not really an addict but I do like to have my toe's done. I mainly prefer purples & I am on a fruitless search for a strong but clear purple iykwim.
    Booo!!!

    At the moment I'm wearing Rimmel I <3 Lasting Colour in Black Cherry on my toes and Barry M Berry Ice Cream (favourite colour!) on my fingers.
  • I'm not listing mine, it would take hours. I did spend an afternoon over Christmas painting them all onto colour wheels so I could see what I had. Found a few hidden gems that way!
    As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again
