I have a bit of an obsession with nail polish. My collection has grown quite a bit in the past few months. I got a few new colors for my birthday.
(Which is today! But, more on that in another post!)
I wanted to post a picture of my current nail polish collection. You can click on all the photos to make them full size.
(My flash didn't go off in a few photos, sorry for that.)

The entire collection! At least it still fits in a small plastic shoe bin! :-p | | |

And close ups of some of my favorite brands:
|
I favor Sally Hansen, can you tell? |
|
Layla Hologram Effect, love these so much! |
|
Essie! |
|
China Glaze and OPI |
|
Butter London |
So, here's my opinion on Butter London nail polish- it's not worth $15. They have gorgeous colors, but the darker colors stain your nails & your skin horribly when you take it off.
(For days! And yes I've used a base coat). They also take a really long time to dry. I'm lucky I just bought Seche Vite fast dry top coat, because I hate waiting for my polish to dry. Also Disco Biscuit drys with a gritty finish. You need a topcoat to make it look shiny. I don't think I'll be getting any more Butter London, unless I find them for a super cheap price.
