I really like nail polish! The varieties of colors, finishes, etc. is just endless. I could probably buy ten bottles a day! For those of us who don't receive samples, polish is a relatively inexpensive hobby (aside from the few Chanel's or Diors!)- usually only a few bucks per bottle. Accessories like beads, stones, tape, etc. cost me even less. So collecting polishes doesn't rack up quite a bill as say, perfumes, brushes, or even foundations.
The major downside for me is it takes a lot of time, and by the time I get my kid in bed I'm usually too tired! Plus, polishes aren't portable, and I've never in my life finished a bottle. Chanel's Blue Satin is the only one I remember finishing more than half!
I think I like nail polish, but I've never bought online, or from any independent brands. So I know I only have a tiny percentage of what most people probably do. If I see one I like, I dont usually hesitate to get it. I used to have a list of ones I wanted to try, but they come out with new ones so often that its hard to keep up!
I feel the same way about collecting nail polish as a relatively inexpensive hobby. Usually when I'm looking for certain makeup, I'll always end up walking out of a store with a nail polish regardless of what I find.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea for posts, too! It's fun to read insights/musings/etc.
Ah yes, I do that too! Glad I'm not alone :) and thanks, I was a bit nervous to post it :)
DeleteYeah it is hard to keep up, and I've never finished a bottle either xx
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone hehe ;)
DeleteIt's so hard to keep up with polish collections without going broke! : )
ReplyDeleteI've gotten to the point that I have so many polishes, I only buy polishes I think are really unique....or are super cheap! : )
Ahhh so that's your secret! I'd like to have that same strategy :)
DeleteI've never finished a bottle either. It doesn't stop me from buying more though! I figure nail polish never really goes bad, even when it gets goopy you can thin it back!
