So, Its no secret i'm a bit of a "Nail Polish Junkie" I probably have too many nail polishes for one person but you have to have variety, right?? (I'll keep telling myself that..)
Any who... I thought i'd share with you guys my top polish picks for Winter!
Cover Girl Outlast Nail Polish - 'Wine Stain'
Everyone needs a good 'blood-red' nail polish and this one is the perfect shade! As well as being totally opaque in 1-2 coats the formulation is super shiny and with a good topcoat lasts really well on your nails. The perfect winter shade!
RRP $6.95
L'Oreal Nail Colour - 'Fancy Me Red'
Keeping with the red theme - this stunning glitter polish from L'Oreal is a recently new one to my collection (found it in a bargain bin sale at a local shop!). I believe this polish may be a limited edition shade but I had to include because it's beautiful! It also reminds me of Christmas which is always a good thing. If you know any dupes for this shade or I find any I will list them below! Unsure of the RRP for this polish but in the bargain bin I found this for $4.
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - 'Pacific Blue'
Have you ever wanted a shade of blue that is the EXACT Facebook blue colour? (realised this after i bought it.. ha..). But in all seriousness, this blue is GORGEOUS! Yes you could wear this shade in summer too but i still believe you can pull it off in winter especially matched with a darker glitter shade on top! Sally Hansen nail polishes are probably the best quality affordable nail polish you can get.
RRP $6.95
Chanel Le Vernis - 'Graphite'
Buying a Chanel nail polish is definitely a splurge moment in any nail polish addicts life, how ever, this beautiful gray glitter polish was something i'd never seen before! You really do get what you pay for with high end cosmetics, yes its true you could probably find a drug store dupe of most items they sell for triple the price but I've always been a huge fan of Chanel cosmetics so when I feel like having a splurge every now and then the Chanel counter is where you'll find me! Glitter nail polish is always a good idea but this gray glitter is perfect for the colder months!
This polish lasts a long time on your nails, super opaque and SUPER sparkly - what more could you want?
RRP $39
Sports girl Nail It! - 'Metal Petal'
A couple of years ago I was obsessed with a nail polish by Nubar called Petunia Sparkles which was basically this amazing purple pure glitter polish. I believe they still make it but you have to buy it overseas from the UK. One day when I was in Sportsgirl I found this polish and its almost a dupe for the Nubar one! A slightly different shade but still amazing! You're probably noticing a glittery nail polish theme through this blog but thats me! haha. Awesome quality nail polish and super opaque which can be hard to find in a glitter polish.
RRP $8.95
Sally Hansen Triple Shine - 'Great White'
If you're after a more neutral shade for the winter this triple shine polish from Sally Hansen is beautiful! Its a pearl white shade so instead of getting that "white out" type effect like usual white nail polish gives you, this gives your nails a nice white pearl finish which is perfect for any occasion. Also, Sally Hansen - can't go wrong!
RRP $9.95
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - 'Pennies For Heaven'
I've talked about this polish on here before but its one of my absolute faves I can't go past! This is a beautiful rose gold shimmer polish with tiny flecks of glitter - Think: Winter Party manicure! The Complete Salon Manicure range from SH are great because the formulations are a base coat, polish colour and top coat all in one! Right on!
RRP $14.95
Revlon Nail Enamel - 'Pink Chiffon'
This polish was another one I found in the bargain bin at the same time as the L'Oreal polish I mentioned earlier, I believe I got this for about $4! Im not sure if this is a regular Revlon shade but this is just a beautiful baby pink neutral polish. These sorts of pink shades are great all year round because its almost a 'your nails but better' shade! I'm currently wearing this colour on my toe nails, i'm usually a red toe nail kinda gal but I tried this colour on them the other day & love it. Super wearable, super girly and super appropriate for all seasons!
RRP $13.95
*BONUS*
