(sorry they look horribly messy, I'm really bad at painting my nails :c) 
 Hello everyone today I bring you another update for my nail polish challenge, I've got so many photos of all the other colours I've been wearing but this is a big favorite of mine! (Also sorry for the extreme lack of posts, I'm busy finishing my first year of college with last minute pieces of work and I've been earning lots of ££ lately but I break off on Friday hooray!). Anyway... how gorgeous is this colour? The bottle shows it to be rather dark which I was a little skeptical about but my my the colour on is ever so gorgeous, I love it!

It feels like such a vibrant summery colour and I just want to wear this all the time. It's a reasonably new polish of mine so it definitely isn't getting binned, I'm thinking of buying even more Barry M shades, despite the dry time to be slow the colours are amazing!!

Nail Challenge #2 - Rimmel's Caramel Cupcake

I only have the one photo of this nail set as I'd taken it ages ago with my old camera and forgot about it! This is the second post into my nail challenge where I see if all my old polishes are worth keeping. This is one of my mums that I've now claimed for my own, I always wanted to try out nude colours but I never knew what to go for. However this colour is just right. 

I only tend to wear colours for a week before taking them off for work but this didn't chip at all. As I don't really know what to use I never base coat or top coat so I'm impressed with the wear of this colour. It also dried very quickly (60 seconds!) and didn't smudge at all during the drying process, impressive!

I'll definitely be keeping this colour as it's gorgeous and very wearable, I think I need to pick up some more of these colours, there are some gorgeous shades, very shiny and also wear time is perfect for me and my mum can share them too!

You can pick this up from Boots for £3.69

This is such a gorgeous colour and at a bargain price of £2.99! I got it even cheaper in fact due to the lovely 3 for 2 offer Superdrug are having! Anyway this is my first Barry M nail polish that I've tried so far and I'm impressed! They are affordable and come in the most gorgeous colours. However application was a bit tough, I'm ever so impatient and first time I actually smudged it. However second time round it took two coats and a lot of waiting around for me and I think the colour pulled off pretty well! It certainly looks like the colour inside the bottle which is always a bonus, a gorgeous pastel purple.

Nail Polish Challenge

I've never really been a huge nail polish fan, when I was younger they always use to turn out ever so messy and I'd smudge them in the first half an hour! However since starting up my beauty blog I've been wanting to explore more and more. For example looks at beautiful Islay's creations on her blog, how amazing! I've always wanted tons and tons of nail colours but thinking about it with my job how would I get through all the colours? So I decided to count my collection (along with a few of my favorites from my mums collection, heh)

I'm so sorry for the terrible quality, nail polishes are so hard to photograph!

Now I only have 29 polishes, some of which are new which I'm proud of. Over the next few weeks I'm going to attempt to use them all. I'm also going to buy a few more because I don't think my collection is big enough! I'll try to post once a week if I can wear the colours and I'll judge whether I want them or not. My collection is going to get a big overall! :)
