Top 5 Winter Nail Polishes

R-L: Nails Inc Stratford, Essie All Tied Up, OPI The World Is Not Enough, Nails Inc Porchester Square, Barry M Mushroom.
This Winter I have been wearing the same nail colours on rotation so I thought a blog post was in order. It's worth noting the two Nails Inc polishes came in The Backstage Collection (£25) with a holographic glitter polish called Abbey Road. A single Nails Inc polish is £11 so it's a good deal. Also, the OPI polish is a mini from the Bondettes collection but also comes in fullsize.

Nails Inc: Stratford. This is a gorgeous nail polish. It applies like a dream, you can get away with one coat, although I tend to apply two. It's said to have a 'mirror metallic' finish but I would say its more duo-chrome. In the picture it looks purpley-gold but in some lights it looks pure gold. It's really pretty and I blooming love it!

Essie: All Tied Up. I would say this is a reddy-browny-bricky-slightly simmery-hint of gold nail polish. Yep. I like this because it's a bit different, when I wear it I always get compliments.One of the reasons I bought this because in the bottle you can see very fine gold glitter but this barely transfers onto the nail. Despite this, it's still one of my favorites of my essie polishes.

 OPI: The World Is Not Enough. When I first saw the OPI James Bond collection I all but swooned! There is a glorious gold, fiery red and glittery green in the Bondettes mini set but I think this is the most wearable shade. It's a super sparkly grey, it does need a good 3 coats before it looks brilliant but it is totally worth it! Gorgeous!


 Nails Inc: Porchester Square. This has probably been my most worn shade. I have worn it at least 3 days a week since I received it as a gift on Christmas day. A grey with slight undertones of lilac, it's incredibly wearable. My mum also loves this and always requests it when I do her nails! 

 Barry M: Mushroom. A classic shade. A dark, matte brown that looks a bit boring in the bottle but is a staple when you want to look a bit sophisticated but not boring. A great alternative to nude and it makes my fingers look less short and stumpy and more elegant, bonus!  

So, that's the nail polishes I've worn throughout Winter. I'm looking so looking forward to the weather getting warmer and heading towards Summer! I think doing this post made me realise I wear a lot of matte shades and I'm going to try and wear more shimmery and glittery polishes as we head towards Spring.

P.S. Look at my stumpy, rubbish index finger nail. I'm trying out a new nail straightener because my nails are so weak!
