I thought I would include these photos here, because this is how I store my small nail polish collection in my house in Galway. Back home I have a more practical pull out drawer to house all my polishes, but if you have a handful of ones you want to display I think a cake stand is super cute! I originally bought it to hold rings and watches etc (which works great, too!) but I decided to put a polish on the bottom tray one day and thought it looked nice. You can pick these up super cheap in Tiger for about €4 or find some really gorgeous and more detailed ones if you shop around!
Unfortunately, I threw away the packaging and so I can't find the exact name or number for this, but it's the only navy blue one they had so it shouldn't be too hard to find in stores! I really like this nail polish, particularly for the price (€1.50!) and I'll definitely be going back for more. I love a navy blue around this time of year with a dark red lip, and this one is still bright without being too neon or cobalt blue.
2. Kiko - #66
This shade is so stunning and it's one of my most worn this season. I picked this up in France and fell in luuurv with it. My camera will never do it justice but it's a blackened purple base shot through with tonnes of violet sparkle and burgundy sheen. It also has a slight golden amber sheen. Such a stunning and unique shade!
3. Barry M - Watermelon
I really love the hi-shine gelly formula by Barry M and I think this is a great "dark but still colour" shade for this time of year. It's a mix between a forest green and teal. It reminds me of Plumage eyeshadow by MAC which is probably why I love it so much. Barry M are without a doubt one of my favourite nail polish brands around.
4. Essie - Smokin' Hot
This shade is perfect for autumn and winter. I love grey nails but this is more than just a slate grey which makes it even more interesting. It's a dark taupe grey that has purple undertones and goes with so many outfits and makeup looks. I love how it looks on the nail because again, it's dark without being too dark or even completely black. For a flat cream finish it has a lot of dimension and can look different colours (more grey, more purple) depending on the light.
5. Catrice - Caught On The Red Carpet
I have a few Catrice polishes and I think they're really lovely for the price - they last forever on my nails regardless of what top coat I use. I love a deep, almost brown red on the nails for this time of year. It really is just a classic nail colour that always looks good against a tacky Christmas jumper or LBD. This goes on slightly darker than what it looks in the bottle and I absolutely love it! This is definitely on my most worn this season.
6. Maybelline Colour Show - Purple Dazzle
I'd heard a lot of good things about the Maybelline nail range and always saw some nice shades but never picked them up until now. They now have a range of about 4-5 glitter polishes - and I love glitter polishes! (well, the effect but not so much the removal!) This shade is absolutely stunning as a glitter topcoat. I've been pairing it with the Kiko and Primark polishes and I love the look it gives. This is the best time of year to wear glitter head to toe (literally) and I will definitely be going back for more of the glitter shades.
