Nail polish collection

Hi pretty people!

Well I mentioned a little while ago in my make up collection storage post that I would show you my products and collection in more detail.  I am getting to this but I am waiting on quite a few products from the US that I would like to include when I show you my favourite products, but nail polish is not one of them :)

This is an overview of all my polishes.  I store them in a wooden box I have had for years and unfortunately the lid doesn't close any more as I have a few too polishes.  I know my collection is not as big as others, but I am really trying to limit my spending on polishes!

I'm going to break this post up into brands and from left to right give you the names of the colours :)

My 5 favourite autumn nail polish

Hi Pretties

Happy black Friday!

I thought tonight it might be fun to do an autumn favourites post. You can read about my favourite 5 autumn lipsticks here. I'm dedicating this post to my 5 favourite nail polishes for autumn :)

With Flash

Without Flash

So it's no secret I love my dark colours for autumn. Especially purples :)

Starting from the left hand side we have;
Essie Power Clutch - A shinny deep olive green
Rimmel I love Lasting Finish in 030 Double Decker Red - That perfect bright red colour
Ulta3 Black Plum - A plum/burgundy colour with shimmers
Revlon 790 No Shrinking Violet - A deep purple with shimmers
OPI Lourve Me, Lourve Me Not - A slightly warmer purple with shimmers

I always wear my Cutex Diamond Extra Hard as a base as it stops colour from transferring onto my nails and keeps them nice and healthy. Since I change my nail polish so often this is critical for me.

What are your favourite nail polish colours this autumn?

Orly Nail Polish Haul

Hi all

No doubt most of the Aussies have seen the discounted Orly nail polishes getting around Priceline at the moment, but for those who haven't, Priceline is selling Orly nail polishes (old range) for anywhere from $3 to $5! Normal retail price of Orly nail polishes is around $18 so your getting a bargain with these!

I picked up one colour to try the other day for $4.95 and after being pretty pleased with the polish I went to buy a couple more today and low and behold I got the for $2.99 each! So I now have 4 colours :)

My favourite thing about these polishes so far would have to be the rubber topper which makes getting the top off the bottle so easy. Normally with my OPI polishes I'm trying to chew it off with my teeth!

I really like the consistency of the polish also, it goes on nice and evenly, does require two coats which I'm not always a fan of but the shine factor you are left with is fantastic.

I don't think the polish longevity is anything special, still wearing off after 3 or 4 days but I'm yet to find a polish that lasts much longer from high end to cheapy Ulta3. In fact I would probably say that Ulta3 has lasted the longest of any polish I have tried and they are only $2 a bottle. But for the cheap price I got these Orly polishes for i'm very pleased. I'm doubtful I would spend $18 on a bottle though as I think there are other polishes just as good.

The colours I got from left to right are;

Strip Down: A bright pink with orange undertones

Aspen: A very shiny pale blue

Not So Dusty Rose: A dusty rose

Walk Down the Isle: A shimmery pale green

What Orly polishes do you have?

Sunday night haul

Hey all I hope you all had a great weekend! My week has been busy busy as I have been moving into a new house and have had to spend a lot of time putting together flat packs and packing and moving and cleaning and basically doing a lot of boring things!

I still had the chance to buy a couple of items this week and did get a lovely new house present off my wonderful boyfriend. He got me my first Mac Paint Pot! He even remembered the colour I wanted ♥

So my haul this week is as follows;

Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study
Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in 006 Pink Blush
Sally Hanson Salon Effects in 360 Laced Up
Sally Hanson Salon Effects in 340 Girl Flower
Rimmel Lasting Finish nail polish in 170 Lively Lilac (another gift from the man)♥
OPI Nail Lacquer in Lourve Me Lourve Me Not
Revlon Lip Butter in 050 Berry Smoothie

So that's all my new products for the week. I'm very excited about my Mac Paint Pot as I have been eyeing this off for a long time and of course the Revlon Lip Butter which I got for only $5 at my local chemist (the sales girl rang up the wrong price).

What are your favourite new products??

NOTD - OPI, Sally Hanson

Today's nail is Opi Lourve Me Lourve Me Not with a feature of Sally Hanson's Salon Effects in 360 Laced Up

I got the OPI from My Beauty Spot and was curious as to whether it was genuine as it was only $10, but it seems up to scratch and if it is a fake, it's a pretty good one! It's a lovely deep purple with what seems like red and hot pink shimmers through out.

Priceline are having a 2 for $25 on the Sally Hanson Salon Effects so I picked up a couple to give them a try as I have not done so as yet.

They seem to be pretty good, although I like them more of a feature than a full set I think. I'm a little messy at applying just yet but I think that will improve with practice!

What are your thoughts on Sally Hanson's Salon Effects?
