So I have blogged about my nail polish storage before. But lets face it if you have seen my haul posts you will probably have realised that I am a bit of a haul polish fanatic and they have outgrown the glossy boxes which I was storing them in. I just love all the different styles and colours. I have in fact become quite well known amongst my colleagues, the guides where I am a leader and people at church for having fun and different coloured nails :)
If you saw my haul post from this weekend, you will have seen the case I brought from Argos which I had intended for my make up. However once all my make up was in I just felt like it was way too big to be practical. I sit and do my make up in the living room in the morning with a coffee and daybreak and it wouldnt even fit on my knee. Plus my cat kept trying to get in it (I dont know why she is so obsessed with box shaped things) so today I nipped to Argos and got the medium one to put my make up in. I will share this with you in a separate post. So I thought I would use the massive box to store all my nail polishes.
What I absolutely LOVE about this box is the different compartments which slide to the side as well as the main compartment. I know you can not see very well but here is a quick run down of what I have in it.
On the left is all of my nail pens, nail varnish tools such as my dotting tools, orange sticks nail files etc. The next compartment is my favourite nail colours which I reach for the most often. The other side on the left are my favourite glitter polishes and the one of the far right is the nude polishes, clear polishes, base and top coats etc. Then obviously in the main compartment is the bulk of the polishes. I have tried to order them so all the similar colours are together. I am not sure how long they will stay this tidy thought :P
I am actually really loving this! I am probably going to do a video of all my nail polishes over the next couple of weeks. I think when I counted them a few weeks ago there are about 130ish + so it may be a long video :)
This storage case was £19.99 from Argos and is currently on sale. The normal price is £27.99.
Seriously how lush is this colour! It is so lovely how it catches the light. It is part of the Models Own Beetle Juice collection and is called Purple Blue. Models own polishes retail from £5 and are avaliable online and in Boots stores.
So as you know I brought some lovely new boots on Saturday when I into town but I also nipped into boots. Their lovely 3 for 2 offer is back and I couldnt resist picking up a few bits that I have had my eye on.
Philips Sonicare Toothbrush - £49.99 (reduced from £121.99)
Rimmel Eye Liner Pencils in Nude, Jungle Green and Purple - £2.99 & £3.99
Models Own Nail Polish in Snowflake (Wonderland Collection), Blizzard (Wonderland Collection) and Purple Blue (Beetle Juice Collection) - £5
My toothbrush has been due an upgrade for a while but I hadn't got round to finding one. I saw one in the Boots Christmas catalog - a Colgate one that I had my eye on and actually wanted when I went into Boots but i changed my mind when I noticed that my local boots store did not stock the heads to it. However I noticed that they had the Philips Sonicare toothbrush on an amazing offer. It was over 50% off and in my view anything which was sold at £121.99 must be pretty darn good, and I have heard fab things about it. I will do a proper review but I am loving it.
I also picked up some Rimmel pencils which were part of the 3 for 2 - I got one of the new shades - the nude one which I have been wearing on my waterline that makes my eyes look brighter, a purple one and a jungle green one. I also picked up 2 of the new wonderland collection from Models Own which are lovely (again it I will do seperate reviews) and a purple blue one from the Beetle Juice collection. Keep you eye out for that in tomorrows NOTD.
Have you taken advantage of the 3 for 2 offer back in Boots?
As promised here is the second one of the christmas tutorial tuesdays. This would look fab on either all your nails for a super christmassy look or just on your ring finger with the rest of your nails painted red.
Since its only 12 days till Christmas I thought I would do some christmassy nails for the next 2 weeks Tutorial Tuesdays. So here is the first one :) Christmas Lights :D
As you may know I do love a bit of nail varnish. I spotted someone blogging about the Barry M Instant Effects and the Limited Edition Foil. So when me and my friend went into town yesterday I went to see if I could get them. I tried my local boots first but was actually quite shocked when I saw the Barry M display practically empty. I asked the woman on the counter if she knew if they were having it in and she said she didn’t know but told me to try Superdrugs (I love it when they do that :P)
So I went to Superdrugs and did a little squeee when I saw that not only did they have the Limited Edition one which was the one I was really after – but that if you spent £6 on Barry M cosmetics then you would get the Limited Edition Purple Foil for free. So I quickly picked up the Silver Instant Effects both me and mum had our eyes on. Then I also spotted a new purple crackle!!! I do love me some purple nail varnish and was so excited to see it in crackle form – perfect for Christmas!
So when I got home I didn’t waste anytime giving myself a little manicure with my new polish. I did every other finger in each colour and then put the crackle over the top.
Not sure how I of the 2 purples together. I think it looks nice but not as nice as the silver one does. It would probably look ok all purple or all silver with the crackle over the top.
But I love them both on their own too – perfect for the some nice sparkly nails during the festive season! I may try the purple limited edition one with my favourite glitter – Rimmel’s Disco Ball. I’ll let you know what it looks like!
