My Growing Nail Polish Collection

Geekchic, you are a bad influence on me.

Before you, these are about the only nail polishes that I have here. Pink and gloss. And these only goes on my toes. I don’t wear nail polish on my fingers if I can help it. Far too clumsy to keep ’em chip-free.

For those of you who don’t know, that girl is a nail polish fan. She seldom does not have nail polish on. Thanks (or is it no thanks? :p) to her, look at my growing collection.

Current Nail Polish Collection

I really dig red nail polish. I find them super sexy, especially on the toes. Really glams up an outfit without even trying to.

Just so you know, OPI nail polishes are pretty overpriced in Australia. Each retails at AUD19.95 per bottle. As alternatives, I stick to Kit Cosmetics’ nail polishes which have really pretty colours. These are AUD15.95 each.

Okay, if that’s still too expensive for you (it sometimes is for me too), check out the nail polishes from Rimmel. These are less than AUD7 per bottle. I love the colours Rimmel has. They’re so much fun, and dries pretty fast too.

So there ya go. My nail polish collection. It’s still absymal, compared to Nikki‘s, but the way I see it, it’s definitely growing. The girls at Kit Cosmetics, Chapel St (Melbourne) are so nice; I always end up getting a bottle everytime I’m there. Tsk tsk tsk 😀

PS: Ooops, I forgot to mention, the first bottle on the left of the current collection is Real Red from Bloom.

    LOL LOL LOL I don’t have a lot of nail polish collection 🙂 Trust me..I am sure yours will grow bigger 🙂 We’re the same, I love red hot nail polish on toenails too!!!! It gives out a really sexy feet! 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving day to you!

    I love red nail polish but I’m too lazy to upkeep polished nails (feet or hands) and too much of a klutz. Also my toe nails seem to hate having polish on theme because they peel horribly after every pedicure session/nail painting session. Oh well, less of an obsession for me eh? 😉

    We don’t practise Thanksgiving here, but what the hey, we can and should be grateful for the blessings we get, eh? So happy Thanksgiving to you too!

    Paris:
    Oh tell me about it. I can’t have polish on my nails. Ask Bea; 10 minutes after we came out of the salon at Bangkok, my fingernails were so awfully chipped. It’s not so bad when it’s on my toes. Even when it’s chipped, no one notices 😛

    Wei, I like Zeitgeist heheheh…. damn nice la. I’ve got red nails today. Change my nails every 2 days or so. If you’ve got a good base coat, can get away with doing crap like this 😀

    You should’ve seen Shryh’s collection. Mine’s probably 1/8th of what she has 😛

    I can’t wear polish on my digits cuz i do the household chores everyday… plus i’m a compulsive hand washer! the poor polish would not survive what i put them through!! lol!!

    But i love red polish!! It’s really sophisticated and sexy! 😀

    At least you HAVE a nail polish removal. I don’t own a nail polish. But my boyfriend does (don’t get the wrong idea! He uses it to lacquer up his fishing flies). I don’t even have a nail file… only a nail clipper -_-

    Nice collection. I showed this to my wife – she always keeps only one shade!

    I am very brand loyal when it comes to near polishes. It’s funny. And as I get older, I stopped using different colors so much. It’s always the same reds and dark browns. I know…so boring.

    I’ve love me some OPIs too. But it’s just stupid expensive here 🙁

    Geekchic:
    I’m starting to do that actually, changing nail colours every two to three days. But on my toes :p Hey how come Shryh’s not blogging anymore on your beauty blog?

    Jenn:
    Toes! They don’t do housework 😛 That’s why I do it!

    Connie:
    Hahahaha! Thank goodness I read your entire comment ‘cos I was going “wooaaaahh” there for a bit 😉

    David:
    Go get more for her then. Do the funky colours :p

    Sesame:
    If I do do my nails, I stick to just the boring colours too. I’m only adventurous on my toes :p
