When I was a kid and had to stay home because of the bad weather, I used to take all my Lego bricks out of a big box I had and play with them. Now that I am a grown up and weather is being really bad, I can always play with something I like a lot...my nail polish collection !.
In these pics you can see part of my collection. I have another big box with many cheaper brands, these one you see are my fave nail polish so far in my ever growing collection. I like nail polish so much and I have to admit I'd feel naked going out with bare nails...what about you ?.
I usually have quite short or medium nails, I think they're easier to handle. I don't have any recostruction on them, I try to keep them strong by applying a streghtening base (using Esse all in one base at the moment).
My fave brands are OPI and Chanel. OPI makes long lasting, easy to put on polishes and has tons of original colors - I even like the names they give them ! Chanel makes absolutely the trendiest nail polishes, deciding the must have colors of the season...plus they have the best packaging ever, don't you agree ?. I also love Dior nail polish even tho I have been a bit disappointed by the final result on my nails, it got chipped very quickly. I am happy that local Sephora is finally selling Essie nail polish cause they have many lovely colors and they seem to be great so far !. What are your fave nail polish brands ?.
Quando ero una bambina e dovevo restare in casa a causa del maltempo, mi piaceva prendere tutti i miei mattoncini lego e tirarli fuori da una grande scatola per giocarci.
Ora che sono cresciuta, quando ho un po' di tempo libero in casa, posso sempre giocare con qualcosa che amo...la mia collezione di smalti !.
In queste foto potete vedere solo parte della mia collezione. Ho un'altra grande scatola piena di smalti di altri marchi, in queste foto vedete solo i preferiti ;-).
Mi piace molto portare lo smalto e ammetto che mi sentirei nuda ad uscire senza, e voi ?.
Di solito porto le unghie abbastanza corte o di media lunghezza, credo siano più facilmente gestibili, cerco inoltre di mantenerle forti applicando sempre una base indurente (al momento sto usando la base di Essie "all in one").
I miei brand preferiti di smalto sono OPI e Chanel. OPI fa dei colori stupendi e molto originali e gli smalti durano veramente tanto, oltre ad essere facilmente applicabili - mi piacciono molto anche i nomi simpatici che danno ai loro prodotti ! Chanel fa gli smalti più trendy in assoluto, lanciando ormai la moda di stagione in fatto di colori...inoltre hanno la boccetta più stilosa, non siete d'accordo ?. Mi piacciono anche gli smalti di Dior, anche se sono rimasta un po' delusa dagli ultimi che ho acquistato perché si sono sbeccati troppo presto.
Solo da poco il mio negozio Sephora di fiducia ha iniziato a vendere gli smalti Essie e non potevo che esserne contenta, ci sono tanti colori e mi sembrano ottimi ! .
Quali sono le vostre marche di smalto preferite ?.
Sometimes taking them all out is also a useful way to remember all the colors I already have and the shades I really lack in my supply, even tho I am not a rational buyer, I am more of a compulsive shopper !.
Tirarli fuori tutti si rivela utile per non dimenticare quali colori di smalto già possiedo e per capire quali siano le tonalità che invece mi mancano proprio, anche se sono una compratrice impulsiva e poco razionale !.
A set of neutrals is surely a must have and something necessary in a beauty case ! Even if you don't like nail polish too much, a basic color can be a good way to look sophisticated and chic.
Un set di colori neutri è sicuramente un must have e qualcosa di necessario in un beauty case ! Anche se non vi piace così tanto mettere lo smalto, un colore basic può essere un buon modo per apparire sofisticate e chic.
From left to right:
Chanel: Quartz - Chanel: Pearl Drop - OPI: San-tan-Tonio - OPI: Samoan Sand - OPI: Passion
Red is the color of passion, of the nails of a 40s diva, it makes me think of an elegant, feminine woman and I think it will always be trendy and chic, especially on short/medium nails.
Il rosso è il colore della passione, delle unghie delle dive anni '40, mi fa pensare ad una donna di elegante e femminile e penso che sarà sempre di moda e di classe, specialmente su unghe corte/di media lunghezza.
From left to right: OPI: Deer Valley Spice - Chanel: Dragon - OPI: An affair in red square - OPI: Can you tapas this?
I have a majority of pink nail polish bottles, bigger than Barbie girl's collection, LOL...I think I will have to calm down for a while. Anyway, it's easy to wear and there are so many lovely shades that...I think soon or later I will add some more pinkish colors in my collection !
Ho tantissime boccette di smalto rosa, ne ho più della Barbie, LOL...credo che dovrò darmi una calmata per un po'. Comunque, è un colore facile da portare e ci sono così tante belle sfumature che...credo che prima o poi comprerò altri smalti rosa !
From left to right: Sephora for OPI: Techno girl - OPI: Feeling hot hot hot! - Dior: Rose kimono - Chanel: Morning rose, Mistral, Peche nacrée, Riviera - OPI: Melon of Troy - OPI: A dozen rosas - Zoya: Lolly
Iridescent colors are a trend I like, as well as the non iridescent Particuliere and the glittery Graphite, a bit hard to take off :)
I colori iridescenti mi piacciono molto oltre al non iridescente Particuliere e al Graphite, glitterato e un po' difficile da togliere :)
From left to right: Chanel: Black pearl - Zoya: Freja - Givenchy: Island Palm - Chanel: Peridot, Particuliere, Graphite
Green, purples, a touch of color is often a breath of fresh air in your outfit !
Verdi, viola, un tocco di colore è spesso una boccata d'aria fresca per il vostro outfit !
From left to right: OPI: Jade is the new black - Chanel: Nouvelle Vague - Dior: Forget me not, Waterlily - OPI: Diva of Geneva
Orange is so trendy this year, can't wait for spring and a bit of tan to sport it !
L'arancio è il colore di moda quest'anno, non vedo l'ora che arrivi la primavera e un po' di abbronzatura per sfoggiarlo !
From left to right: Illamasqua: Lament - OPI: I'm wired - Chanel: June - OPI: Y'all come back
I like also more original colors since I admit to being a nail polish fashion victim, so I keep buying them, often going nail polish hunting for the hardest to find ones. Even when I succeed, my peace doesn't last for long cause soon I find out a new polish I desperately want !.
Mi piacciono anche i colori più originali e siccome sono una fashion victim degli smalti, continuo a comprarli, spesso andando a caccia di quelli più introvabili. Anche quando ci riesco, la mia pace non dura a lungo, perché presto scopro un nuovo smalto che devo assolutamente avere !.
From left to right: Dior: Apparat, Or Tsarine - Chanel: Paradoxal, Dior: Tuxedo, Chanel: Mimosa

Love this post! I feel naked without nail polish too. There is nothing better than to watch a movie and paint nails!
ReplyDeleteI have to go through my collection just to remind myself of the colors that I already have. Sadly there are repeats of the same color.
