Confessions of a nail polish addict

I love nail polish! I have too many in my collection and I prefer to have my nails painted at all times.

I started wearing nail polish when I was 16 and since then my love for the product grew over the years. It got to a point where in my early twenties, I realised that I had far too many. I estimate that I probably have owned around 100 nail polishes in my life so far, which is kind of crazy.

My nail polish addiction has calmed down now. I’ve given a lot of my nail polishes away to friends and family. I hardly buy nail polishes now - maybe once in a while, but now I tend to focus on using up my nail polishes, as well as using up my makeup collection.

 Here are some of my confessions of a nail polish addict.

  • At the moment I’m either wearing Barry M’s Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in the shade Rhubarb (a dark reddish purple-ish shade) or Essie’s Mint Green Candy Apple nail polish.

  • My go-to nail polish shades are pastel colours and dark hues.

  • My favourite nail polish brands are Barry M and Essie.

  • My favourite nail polish finish is a gel, shiny and glossy finish.

  • I always paint my nails in the evening. I find it kind of therapeutic.

  • The one nail polish I regret buying? When I was in my teens I bought a nail polish a ‘croc’ effect but it didn’t work properly. The croc-effect nail trend died after that.

  • A top nail tip that I swear by is this: file your nails instead of clipping them.

  • The one nail polish brand I’d love to try is Nailberry. I’ve always wanted to try their products. Also, I’d love to give Butter London a try, and I’d love to see Models Own make a return.
