I’m a nail polish hoarder. I’m not even holding my hopes high for this one — the amount of nail polishes in my house is going to return to the original number very soon after the clean-out. Out with the old, in with the new, etc.
But I gotta try.
Behold the first five candidates.
Flormar Nail Enamel, deep berry with fine glitter
This is so old, I can no longer tell you the number. It’s… I think it’s from 2006, maybe earlier. Still like it, even though I’ve become a bit more particular with finishes and try to avoid everything but creme and matte these days. But it is old, and it has to go.
Wet ‘n’ Wild MegaLast Strengthening nail polish in 214 Soul Mate
Apologies for the quality of the photograph.
We don’t have Wet’n’Wild around here, so the only place I could’ve got it from was the States… And I’ve been to the States in ’07. Lovely colour, but has to go.
Olivia nail enamel, mint green
A lovely mint green. Very aged. Separated up the wazoo.
Olivia nail enamel, melon yellow
A sheer melon yellow. It liquefied significantly, and no longer behaves like a polish.
Catherine Arley nail lacquer in 190
A sheer silver polish, quite possibly the oldest polish in my collection. More of a topcoat/ French manicure enhancement than a stand-alone polish, if you ask me. I used it recently. My nails didn’t fall off, and it still behaved like a polish ought to, but it has to go. I still love silver nails, but this one is too sheer and glittery for me. Still in hopes of finding a good silver chrome.
