Nail Polish Declutter Intro

With over 400 nail polishes I decided it was time to declutter my collection. In the past I have gone through my polishes and removed some of the dupes I had. This time around I wanted to thoroughly go through my polishes. I decided that I will try and apply every nail polish that I own, see how I find not only the colour, but how it wears.

My aim is to check in monthly and show you the nail polishes I have tried in that time. I only apply a different nail polish probably twice a week, so this project is going to take quite a while.
Crazed For Coral

Burnt Orange
Burlesque Strip
True Red

Red Rage

Out of these orange/red polishes, I will be keeping all but the Models Inc True Red and Red Rage. I feel that I don't need so many reds and these are the 2 that don't perform as well formula wise. They are both not as opaque as the others.

Nail polish tally- 3

    Wow to owning 400 polishes! I've gradually lessened my stash in the last year or so - after coming back from America & doing a big ol' polish haul there, I've gone from about 115 down to 68 at recent count. Although my polish wishlist is massive (and I mean MASSIVE), I don't feel like I actually need any more right now. I'm happy with what I've got.

      Oops, I meant to say "coming back from America last year".

      I've decided that I need a more manageable amount of nail polishes. For me, 400 is a crazy amount considering if it wasn't for this project, I would only apply polish once a week. Good on you for cutting back on the amount you own, Shell xx

    what an amount of nail polish to own! I have for a long time stopped doing my nails, but the burlesque strip is a beautiful red!

    What a great project for trying all your polishes rather than just your current favourites like I tend to do but geez this project will take years with a collection of 400 polishes!

    Or you could do what my daughter used to do when she was little when she requested I paint each of her fingernails in a different shade - lol!

      I probably should start painting my nails and toenails with different nail polishes to make sure I get through this project, Ingrid! lol xx

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
