Hey guys,
I can't deny it any longer; I must purge this confession: I think I have a nail polish addiction!
Okay, I know I do...
Well, I know how that happened; I bought most of them. I can't walk past a nail polish display without at
least skimming over the selection of colours available, and if a nail colour I like is just a couple of pounds (or less), I can usually justify the purchase. Let's face it, a small purchase here and there never hurt anybody, and it will rarely leave a dent in the bank account. I mostly buy drug store branded polishes which cost between ninety nine pence and four pounds; I have no desire to pay luxury prices for a single polish, so I see my collection as harmless... Albeit, ever so ridiculous in size.
I mean, who really needs one hundred and ten nail polishes? Want, maybe, but need? Not many of us. I enjoy painting my nails and wearing every colour imaginable, and even though I know my collection is vast, I can never seem to restrain from buying new shades to try. What can I say? I get bored of wearing the same colours, and find nail painting a therapeutic, relaxing pastime which I'm able to do even when I'm confined to bed.
I've decided I need to curb spending money on nail polish for a while, and concentrate on revisiting colours I already own, and trying new combinations together. I can't say if I'll succeed for long, or even at all, but I'm at least going to try.
I'm sure others have a much larger collection than I have- beauty bloggers, I'm looking at you! How big is your nail polish collection? Does yours put mine to shame?
Holy moly that's quite a collection, I only have a handful of colours - as a sewist/general crafty lady I find I chip nail polish pretty easily so I'm reluctant to wear it. We all need our simple pleasures in life and if yours is nail polish - well it doesn't really cause any harm does it ;)
ReplyDeleteI think my collection was only at about 15-20 before I injured my back, as mine would chip within 2 minutes of being at work (in retail). Dust, cardboard boxes, and constantly washing my hands made them chip and get brittle, so I can relate to this. It's just a waste of time if you're a creative person! I guess it's a novelty for me now my nails are stronger, and you're right, it's not harming anybody. xx
DeleteOmg that's alot of polish! Xx
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm just as shocked as you are! Haha xx
DeleteThanks. I've gone a bit overboard in the last year, it seems. Oops. I used to be a nail biter, too, but now I love having colourful nails. I'm sure your collection will increase quickly now you've stopped biting them! It was such a novelty for me when I managed it! xx
