Get ready to scroll down a lot for my latest “I’ve got plenty” post – it’s picture-heavy because I’m featuring ALL my nailpolishes! This was a fun post to put together as it features all of my “Nail of the day” pictures – so it will be great for me to refer back to. It also made me try out several polishes I’d bought but never worn (mostly blue, green and yellow shades – guess they’re not as wearable for me!). There are currently 44 polishes featured – and I will keep updating this post whenever I buy a new polish (I think a Rose Gold shade is next – am debating between this one by Orly and this one by Essie)
OVERALL RECOMMENDATIONS:
I love Chanel for their unique and recognizable colors, while Revlon Colorstay and Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro polishes have the best formulations (long-lasting, opaque, glossy and easy-to-apply & SUPER CHEAP!). I always use this base coat and this top coat (I highly recommend them – they’re easy to find and make my polish last ages) – I own the raved about Seche Vite but am put off by its VERY toxic fumes!

Love your blog!!
Thanks Mary-Irene!
Nice collection 🙂 I like OPI and Catrice nail polishes, they have good formula and they are affordable.
I've never tried Catrice polishes but I've seen them on some European blogs I follow – they look lovely!
Love all these colours! I've definitely found some to add to my collection! http://med2makeup.blogspot.com
Glad you liked seeing them – I have quite a few shades I want to add to my collection too 🙂
those are some great colors! i'll have to pick up a few of them myself now 😀
Thanks! Can't wait to see which you get!
Wow love your collection !
Thanks Lili – I can't believe how many nailpolishes I've accumulated over the past couple of years!
Great idea :)Unfortunately if I were to do this…it would take me forever. Even with the swatches I have on the blog…but would be good to keep track somehow, im thinking maybe a swatch book
That's a good idea! This was fun to do because I actually had quite a few untouched bottles of polish…but I didn't want to buy anything new until I had tried EVERYTHING that I owned LOL!
Very fun post! I would say about 95% of my many nail polishes are OPI. I have mixed feelings about Essie as I find it goes on very thin so it needs an extra coat, but if you do that I like it! I probably need to open my mind to new brands – I would definitely try some you recommended. http://theworldfrommystilettos.blogspot.ca/
Yes – some of my Essie polishes feel very thin too. In terms of formula, I love Revlon & Rimmel because they are opaque in 1-2 coats. The formula is thick but not too thick. I have several OPI polishes on my wishlist including Strawberry Margherita and Lincoln Park.
How fun, I was surprised how much I liked the mint colors! I'm going to have to add mint to my Ulta list.Just before Christmas I went through all of my polishes and tossed several of them that we're so old. It's been fun building my polish wardrobe since!
I love buying mint colors – but I have to admit I prefer wearing nudes & pinks.Must be lovely to have a fresh start with your polishes…I have quite a few I don't love, and I have no idea how I've ended up with so many polishes LOL!
i really want to try some chanel polish!!xo,SandySandy a la Mode
I love the packaging and color range of Chanel – it's so chic!
Wow! I like everything! I'm a new follower, yout blog is great!Pluiedevelours
Thank you so much for your feedback and for following 🙂
I totally missed this post! I love all of them, but especially black pearl! Although I don't really care for how easily Chanel polish chips, I love their shades. Black pearl is one of my favorites, alongside graphite 🙂
I love how unique Black Pearl is – I haven't really seen a comparable shade out there.
You have some gorgeous polishes! You have definitely given me some inspiration to try some colors I never would have dreamed of before, lol.
Really? Can't wait to see what you pick out Lindy! I thought it was so funny that I was admiring your Plums the Word polish without realizing I owned the same shade! It looks so much better on you 😉
very nice!! teleteskariotakis.gr
Thank you!
Very nice collection.I love those color of polish.Specially I am loving the mint colors.fashion search engine
I love the mint colors in the bottle – but not as much on my hands LOL!
Great collection lady! Now I'll have to buy a few more, not that I need any more 🙂
That's what I keep telling myself too!
