My top Four Favorite Nail Polish brands

Hello everyone! 

As you may know by now, I am obsessed and I mean OBSESSED with nail polishes. I recently wrote a post about OPI Alice through the looking glass collection where I touched upon my love for nail polishes. Writing that post made me think about my unnecessarily

large collection ((of polishes)), this oversized collection currently features 7 brands. Throughout many years I have tried many brands and wanted to share with you today my current top four favourite brands. 

OPI

OPI is a new found love for me. When my mother introduced my to the brand, I fell in love with the formula, the colour lacquer creates a gloss finish without even adding a top coat. The OPI formula also lasted a really long time which is perfect! 

Ciaté

When looking for glitter and sparkle I turn to Ciaté. They have the best collection of nail glitter, sequins and caviar in every colour you can think of. Their annual advent calendar features all the glitz and glam a girl could ask for, I seriously can't wait to see what this year's calendar looks like. 

L'Oreal

The cheapest brand in my top four, L'Oreal which is priced at £4.99 has upped their game this year with their polishes. The colours and tones featured in their collection reminds me of Essie's colours and at almost half the price you can buy twice as much! 

Essie 

I always used to treat myself to an Essie nail polish at the end of a University term or after a large deadline. The variety of colours made choosing one so hard. I am also loving their top coat at the moment, its formula adds longevity and shine to a manicure. 

So as you can see I LOVE my nail polishes and always on the look out to try more, so if any of you know of any brands that you love and think I should try comment below as I feel 86 isn't enough polishes for one collection haha! 

See you Sunday,

Alice Through the Looking Glass: OPI Nail Polish Review

Hello Everyone! 

OPI has fast become one of my favorite nail polish brands; so when they released their ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ collection, inspired by the film, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Here's what I thought about this vibrant collection.

   

Alice Through the Looking Glass contains two OPI nail strengtheners and four colours created exclusively for the collection. Before purchasing this collection I had only heard good things about the nail strengtheners and was looking forward to trying it out myself. The strengtheners come in two colours; clear and nude. The clear gives a beautiful shine to the nail while the nude is perfect for a subtle everyday look. OPI suggests to use the nail strengthener for a week before you begin to see a difference, after a week of trying out the strengtheners I noticed that my nail bed had smoothened and became more hydrated. I also find the strengthener works well as a base coat to helps prevent colour staining. My nails feel healthier again and have become stronger; they are much less prone to chipping.

Accompanying the two nail strengthens are four OPI colours. As mentioned above, these colours were created exclusively for this collection and feature fun names inspired by the film. The colours featured in this collection are playful, bold and vibrant; this may not be to everyone's taste but if you are a fan of brightly coloured nails then this collection will be perfect! Alongside the bright blue and pink polishes are burgundy and gold colours, perfect for the upcoming winter months.  As always the pigmentation of these nail colours are very strong the lacquer formula create a beautiful gloss finish and are long lasting. I personally love how these polishes do not fade in colour or shine even after five days.

OPI is a well trusted nail polish brand and the quality of their products are amazing. I love this fun and bold collection.     

Until Next Time
