The Life Span of Nail Polish

Last week I went through my nail polish collection. I knew full well that a lot of it was going to need throwing out, so it was well past the time they should have been sorted out. I find it weird how some polishes keep forever, when others go off much quicker in comparison.

There's some in there that I've had since...I don't even know, since I was 9 maybe? That seem to be absolutely fine, where others that I got in the last couple of years have gone off. I know it's probably something to do with what's in the polish and whatnot, but it's still quite random. What's your oldest nail polish?

P.S. I threw away the ones I'd had for ages, they were small crap ones I don't use!

New years nails

Twas the night before New Year, and all was in chaos. All were getting ready, even the mouse.

Doesn't quite have the same magical feel to it...

Anyway, I just wanted to write about my glitterazzi new year nails. For Christmas I got some super bright nail polishes, so I decided to wear these, and glam them up with glitter polish. I'd seen a great nail idea on pinterest a little while ago where the nail tip was glitter and it looked like it had traveled up the nail and dispersed (So lots of glitter at the tip to barely any at the cuticle). I wanted to give this a go, with my own brightly coloured twist-using my Christmas nail polish, and silver glitter polish.

So I did my nails all pretty and put a dense silver on the tips, and a sparse silver on the rest of my nails. It looked pretty cool.

As it turns out, the silver nail polish had gone off, leaving me with rotten smelling fingertips. And glitter that dried all weird and lumpy. Of course, by the time I'd realised this it was too late and I was already at the NYE party...Oh well...
