Declutter: Nail Polish Collection

After watching a bit of Vivianna Does Makeup and her organisation tips for her wardrobe and her makeup collection, I decided to have a mini clear out of my own...but with my nail polishes. So i didn't quite follow her steps but I was as ruthless as I possibly could be.

My tips for decluttering/organising your polishes are:

1. Empty- you'll be able to see how much you actually have 
2. Clean - wherever you store them (even in a drawer) it will get dusty
3. Sort - place them into piles (colour, special glitters/nail art stuff, base & top coats)
4. Swatch - get your hands on nail wheels and test the polishes (any which are streaky/sticky or separated chuck them asap)
5. Give - any that you don't want but are useable check with friends & family to see if they want them or even a charity

I try to group roughly by colour with nail files, toe separators and other 'tools' at the back

Rimmel - 60 seconds nail polish

 Heey guys! I thought I would do a little review on some of the new nails polishes that I recently picked up from boots.

Left to right:
rose libertine, too cool to tango, round and round the garden, blue eyed girl

These £3.65 nail polishes are great for building up your collection if you are like me and aren't particularly gifted at painting your nails and can’t justify a lot of money on them. They apply evenly with a flat brush and have a nice consistency making them easier to apply and if you are in a rush with one coat the colour will still be strong. I'm not entirely sure that they dry in 60 seconds but compared to my Barry M and Essie nail polishes they seem to dry within seconds. They also seem to last around the one week mark with minimal chipping however I normally get bored of the same colour so tend to change it up a lot therefore I haven’t been able to fully put them to the test to give you an exact answer.

‘Rose libertine’ and ‘too cool to tango’ are the perfect spring/summer rose pink and baby blue for me.  

However ‘round and round the garden’ and ‘blue eyed girl’ will also be used a lot this summer when I fancy straying away from the normal pink and blue pastel colour choices. 

Hope you enjoyed,
