My top 3 nail polishes

Until recently, I wasn't really so much into nail polish. However, since I started reading beauty blogs, my small collection is constantly expanding and these are my 3 favorite shades that I wear over and over again.


The first choice is my only China Glaze nail polish in the shade Heaven. It's a gorgeous neutral color that goes very well with my skin tone and suits every outfit. It's got a slight pearlescent effect and usually I'm not so much into pearl finish, but this one looks fab on and makes your nails look clean and polished. I'm wearing it right now with a DIY French tip.


The next one, Miss Sporty in the shade no. 215, is a very unique color. I'd say it's a muted brownish raspberry, slightly darker than in the photo, and it's a cream finish. Miss Sporty polishes are mostly great quality for the price, and I like the smaller bottles.

My last choice is Rimmel Lasting Finish in the shade 061 Exotica. I'm not sure if you can see that in the photo, but it's a blue-based red with a golden/lime shimmer running through it. Again, applies very smoothly with no streaks and looks very vampish with my pale skin. One of my dad's favorite shades as well, so I guess men appreciate its looks :)

    @Naomi: The Rimmel is great, the shimmer is almost invisible once on but adds a nice depth to the color.

    Thanks for the award so much, hun! I'm going to check it our right now :) xxx

    @Nadia: Thanks so much, hun! I don't know about beautiful, but I certainly have really thin fingers, I realized that when buying a wedding band... It looks like a child's!

    @Lipglossiping: Thanks, hun! Unfortunately it didn't last through dish washing and it's chipping on me :( xxx
