The end

Well folks this is it, the end of my experiment, the end of my A to Z of nails.  I started out in January 2012 and it's taken me nearly 2 1/2 years to wear every single polish in my collection.  It just shows no one can possibly wear that much polish (although it doesn't stop me buying more!).  In that time I have had two children (at the same time!) and they are now 19 months old.  A lot can happen in the length of time it takes to try on nail polish!

It does seem strange now that I am able to wear what polish when I want.  I feel a bit institutionalised, like I am not sure what to do with myself now.  You mean I am free to choose what I want to wear? But I have so many, how will I decide?  One thing for sure is I definitely will be buying more, some things do not change!

Thank you for sticking with me through this journey, I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Purging my stash

At over 300 bottle of polish I am starting to run out of room and no one in their right mind needs this many polishes unless they own a nail polish company.  So I went back through all my old blog entires and decided to be ruthless and cull any that I disliked.  All in all I think I removed approximately 40 bottles from my nail polish drawers, making them considerably lighter (and making room for more polish!).  I am not going to list all those that I am getting rid of but you can see in the photo it's a considerable amount.  It's a shame but hey - life is too short to hold on to things if you will never use them again. Even nail polish!

Until next time,

My favourite pinks

If you would have asked me before I started this journey I would have said I have loads of pink polishes I love. However even though pink polishes make up the biggest colour in my collection, reading through all my blog entries there was only one that I raved about - Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze. It's just amazing and everyone should own it.  The end.

Next up are my favourite reds.
Until then,
