I’ve
been really into my nails lately. I can’t seem to pass by a nail polish display
rack without some colour catching my eye. As my collection was growing I
thought it was time to do some cleaning out, removing some old ones and
rearranging what was left. I also thought it would be interesting to see what
brands I loved the most, what colours were the most and least popular in my
collection and how many bottles in total did I have at this point. If you want
to know the answers then stick around with me!
If
you’re interested in the stats, then here it goes:
By colour: Reds- 4 bottles, Copper- 2
bottles, Orange- 5 bottles, Skintone/ sheers- 3 bottles, Yellows & golds- 5
bottles, Whites- 6 bottles, Greens- 5 bottles, Aquas/ blue greens- 6 bottles,
Clear- 11 bottles, Blues- 8 bottles, Pinks- 17 bottles, Grey- 2 bottles,
Silver- 5 bottles, Fuchsia/ Plums- 4 bottles, Lilac/ Purples- 5 bottles,
Blacks- 5 bottles and Browns- 3 bottles.
So you
can see that I’m crazy about pink polishes!
I could have told you that before the count but this just seals the deal. Likewise
it seems I’m not really fond of greys or copper colours. Just might be that I
haven’t found the right ones yet! I’ll make it my duty to focus on those
colours next time I’m at a display rack.
I also
found it interesting that my next favourite colour (forgetting the 11 bottles
of clear) was blue! Really, blue? I’m
learning new things about me everyday. And I seem to have a thing about blue
greens or aqua too!
Grand total polishes: 97 bottles. Wow!!!! I feel good
knowing it’s less than a 100 though, gives me more reason to buy three more
bottles to have an even number.
By brand: Out of my 97 bottles, there are
25 bottles of China Glaze (my favourite!), followed by 11 bottles of L.A.girl
(love their metal polishes) and then Sinful Colors rounding up the top three
with 9 bottles.
Other
brands in my collection include Sally Hansen, Orly, Santee, Kleancolor, Nail
Fusion, Milani, NYC, LA Colors, Jordana, OPI, Ruby Kisses, CaraMia, ELF, Seche
Vite, Arista, NYX, and SpaRitual.

Always
a China Glaze in the middle!

Crackles? At one point in time I was crazy
for crackles, not anymore though. But I’m still crazy over metallics and silver
seems to be my number one metal of choice in a polish. Milani’s PC Girl is one
of my all time favourites.
Let’s
top it all off with some top coats of course! Seche Vite has been my BFF of top
coats but somewhere along halfway, it gets super thick. So I had to branch out
and doing so made me realise there are lots of good stuff out there. What’s
your favourite?
So what does your
nail collection look like? What colours do you love and brands that work well
for you? Feel free to share! I would love a sneak peak into your own collection!!!
Happy Nail Polish Collecting!
XOXO
