This isn’t a showing off post, au contrare, I wish I had more – lol.

I thought that maybe for the benefit of you all I would put up some photos of my current collection, and say for example you want to see a picture of a particular polish I happen to own you can let me know in the comments box. I will also link pictures I have already taken when I name the polishes, if that makes any sense. Basically click the blue words if you want to see the pics.

Grouped by brand.

Here is my storage, I managed to find a large shoebox which will fit perfectly for the next 20 or so polishes, then I suppose I’ll have to move on to bigger and better boxes.
So this is going to seem like a tiny collection to certain among you who will no doubt have about ten times the amount that I do 😛 Believe you me I plan on expanding my collection for ever and always to the extent that income allows. Haha.

So once again if you didn’t read at the top 😛 comment if there’s any of these you’d like to see before you buy, as such, or even if you feel my pictures don’t show you what you want to see 🙂 I will also strive to update this every time I post pictures of each colour as and when.

I confess, I bought this beauty from eBay 🙂 but there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be in your local Superdrug, they never seem to sort out the displays and sometimes you can find some lovely (discontinued? I don’t know if Golden Dragon is?) gems hiding away 🙂 If you see this polish, I 100% recommend you to buy it.

I wore this on Andy’s recommendation for Earth Day, and also to go and see Derren Brown Svengali on Friday night, which by the way was FABULOUS, he’s such a good entertainer and I would one million percent recommend you see it if you haven’t already got tickets!!!

Golden Dragon has a lovely sea greeny-blue base, which is almost lost amongst the green and gold shimmer. I really is absolutely gorgeous, especially in sunlight and false lighting. It’s one of those polishes that doesn’t look right with a top coat, which isn’t an issue because on me it lasted 2 days with minimal tipwear before I caved and took it off. It dries relatively quickly, especially compared to many of GOSH’s creme polishes which take forever.

The photos don’t really capture the polish as much as I’d like. The top photo shows how it looks quite plain in natural light, but if you get the chance to wear this on a sunny day you will be rewarded with the gorgeous gold/green shimmer 🙂 It’s a lovely sea-green colour, and definitely the colour I picture a dragon to be! It’s certainly one of those more interesting ‘sophisticated’ polishes.

Hope you’re all having a lovely long weekend with the sunshine, I have 2 essays to get through before tomorrow lol really not motivated at all!
