Nail polish obsession tag

I have been watching a lot of people on youtube that appreciate nail polish as much as I do and recently some of them have made a certain video, The nail polish obsession tag, which consists of them answering ten questions about nail polish, so I thought I would the tag would make a good blog post, so that's what this post is about

1. What's your favourite nail polish company? I like nails inc because it's the first brand that got me into nail polish, but I love the colour range of china glaze, they are inexpensive but harder to find in shops in the uk.
2. Glitter or no glitter? I am not the biggest glitter fan because the removal is a pain but I might wear it occasionally at Christmas but I love the diversity of glitter polishes so I want to wear them more.
3. O.P.I , China glaze or Essie? Like I said on question one I love the variety of the colours from china glaze.
4. When do you change your nail polish? Everyday or every other day I like the variety you have with nail polish.
5. Darks or brights? Both I prefer to wear brights in spring/summer and darks in autumn/winter.
6. What are you wearing on your nails right now? The heat is on from the desert escape collection from china glaze.
7. What's your favourite colour on your nails? Any kind of blue polish dark,light,holographic or glitter I just love blue nail polish
8. Matte nails in or out? I personally don't like to wear matte nail polish I think a gloss finish makes a polish pop.
9. Do you like French manicures? I don't tend to wear them just because there is so much colour to choose from and I prefer colour on my nails but I think they look nice and elegant.
10. What's your favourite winter colour? Blue, grey or a nice plum.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this tag if you want to check out some of the youtube videos I have been watching I will post them down below.

My top summer nail colours

The colour of polish I wear on my nails changes throughout the year, in winter I wear black,grey and navy and in the summer I like to wear brighter coloured polishes, these are the five polish colours I gravitate towards in the summer.

Pink

A selection of pink polishes 

Yes pink is a all year round nail colour for some people but for me I don't wear it that much except the summer time. A perfect pastel creamy pink is a perfect colour for a wedding, and if your scared of some of the brighter colours try a raspberry pink.

Orange

A selection of orange polishes 

Don't be scared of colour on the nails, yes orange sounds scary but maybe try with a creamier orange that's not so neon.

A selection of green polishes 

Green

Again don't be scared of colour you don't have to go full on with a Grinch green polish, there is some amazing mint pastel green polishes out there.

Purple

A selection of purple polishes 

Purple might me another popular colour that a lot of people wear in the summer, to be honest with you I wear it all year round.

Blue

A selection of blue polishes 

Blue sounds a very 80's colour but don't worry I thought that at first but now blue polish is one of my favorite colours to wear.

 

Don't be scared of colour nail polish is temporary, if you are not sure about it remove it , so have fun with some colour this summer.

My four nail must haves

If your not sure what products you need to help your nails grow and look good I am going to talk about four of my nail must haves.

1. A nail file
2. 
   A nail file is a simple yet a obvious product but you can get many types of nail file, the emery board ,glass,crystal and metal, they all file down your nails but they are all slightly different. I use and personally prefer a glass nail file, I used to use a metal file and always wondered why my nails kept breaking and peeling, then I got a glass nail file. My nails didn't change over night my nails still break now and again but I have had no peeling since I changed to a glass file. Choosing a file is personal preference yes a glass or crystal file may cost that bit extra but for me I have had my glass file for years you just have to look after it and make sure it doesn't break.

2. A four way buffer
   
   
   
   If you have ridged nails this item might help it is simply a block with four different sides one side is a emery board/nail file to shape your nails which I personally never use but its personal preference. The second side is usually to smooth your nails, it helps reduce them ridges in your nails. If you over use this side it could have the opposite affect on your nails and could make them worse so if you are using a four way buffer just use it once a week. The third side usually is a buffing side this side just buffs and smooths your nail, this side just works along side, side two to reduce your ridges. The fourth and final side is the polish side and it makes your nails look like they have a top coat on them, obviously the shine wont last days but I know this side you can use when you want, just for them days when you want your nails to look nice but don't want to faff about with nail polish. Obviously not all four way buffers are going to be the same this is just a general just of what the ones I own are like, plus a little fact the rubbing motion the buffer makes will help promote nail growth.

3. Cuticle oil/ cream
   
   
   
   Cuticle oils and creams are good to use after you have used your four way buffer because it puts some moisture back into your nail. Cuticle oils can come in a nail polish like bottle and you can just paint it on and they can come in a tube its just personal preference and depending on the brand you like. Using a oil or cream also makes it easy to push your cuticles back which makes the nail look longer , when pushing your cuticles back it is good to use a hoof stick it just helps with the process, you can easily pick them up for cheep at a pharmacy.

3. Hand cream
   
   Its all good your nails looking nice and long but if your hands are looking crusty and dry its not exactly pretty there are many different hand creams out there. Just remember your nails may look nice but remember those hands

Confessions of a nail polish addict

I admit it I have an addiction. I have over 300 nail polishes, yes its a bit excessive but I have accumulated them over the years. Growing up I never wore nail polish, I always bit my nails but at the age of ten I started watching QVC and I was obsessed with the models with there pretty nails and the amazing colours of nail polish they had on. My mum made me a promise if I stopped biting my nails she would buy me some nail polish from QVC, I did stop biting my nails and as they say the rest is history. At the beginning of my nail polish love affair I only wore lighter colours, one of my favorite colours which was quite out the lighter colour box for me, and which I wore to death was brook street from nails inc, but the colour that changed the way I wore nail polish was baker street from nails inc. I thought I would never wear a blue nail varnish but seriously baker street is the most perfect blue and now you cant stop me wearing blue, grey and black nail polish,the only nail polish colour im not to keen on is red but I'm still searching for that perfect shade of red that will change my dislike for red nail polish. For me nail polish makes me feel made up and ready to concur the world, and this is why I'm addicted to nail polish
