Hello Old Friends: An obsession with nail varnish...

I am a massive collector of Barry M Nail Polish, I simply can't get enough! There's such a range of colours to choose from, and they're so cheap as well! Every time I go into Superdrug I end up buying two or three - that's how my collection has got so vast for someone who hasn't got a clue about nails. My obsession with them started only a few months ago, and I already have 14 colours.

So yeah, here's the one's I have at the moment (I am aware the picture quality is really bad, but I just wanted to show you how many I have, considering I only started buying them a few months back).

So, that's all the ones I have. The names are:

Base Coat, Top Coat and Nail Hardener
Matt White
Mint Green
Strawberry
Blueberry
Block Orange
Raspberry
Teal
Blueberry (Gelly)
Chameleon Blue (Chameleon effects)
Amethyst Glitter
Rose Quartz Glitter
Red Glitter
Pink Sapphire Glitter

I love them all, but I do have my favourites.

amethyst glitter/mint green/block orange

The amythyst glitter has got such nice colours in. You can either do one coat on top of another polish to get a glitter effect, or use a few coats and cover the whole nail in glitter. This is my all time favourite glitter polish. Next is the mint green. It's such a nice, pastel colour and it covers really nicely. I often use this along with a nail art pen to add some pretty detail and it always comes out really well. Last is the block orange. I LOVE this colour. It's such a summery colour, and really brightens up your nails. I recommend buying this one, simply because it's such a lovely colour! Plus, it was only like £3!

Although I love all the colours, there are a few that I'm a bit on the fence about...

Base coat, top coat and nail hardener/chameleon blue/raspberry

Starting with the clear varnish, I can't say it works that well to be honest. My nails aren't in any better condition since using it, yet it claims to be a 'nail hardener'. Next is the chameleon blue - I absolutely love the idea of these nail varnishes but I'm not too keen on the colour of it. The whole idea of the chameleon varnishes is that you put a layer of it on, and then using a clear varnish you go over the top and make a pattern. It works really well, but the colour it starts off as, and the colour it turns to really doesn't appeal to me. Last is the raspberry. When I picked it up, I thought it was going to look really nice. However, it's such a dark colour and it really doesn't look right on my nails. It's probably just a personal thing, but I really didn't like what it looked like on.

So those are the nail varnishes I already have, and here's just a few that I have my eye on, which I am really wanting to buy -
