Ever since giving my nail polish collection a well-overdue declutter once again (as you would have seen in this post I did the other week) I've felt there are a few areas, colour-wise, where I'm thinking of building up my stash again. You know, colours that I kinda feel I'm missing in my collection since giving it a streamline and ones that I think I'd get a lot of wear and use out of. So, I thought I'd run through my thoughts of what colours, tones, finishes and so on that I'm pondering replenishing my collection with...
CORALS - I had to declutter a fair few pretty, pinks and corals in my collection that I still really loved the colour of, but the polish itself had started to go a bit funny, or I didn't enjoy the formula/brush as much as other ranges. So, I knew instantly that when it came to restocking my collection again - those warm, rosey, orangey tones were where I'd be gravitating towards! And I was right, I'm definitely looking at adding some new ones to my collection very soon, especially with Spring/Summer coming up - the seasons where I tend to reach for those kind of colours the most...
BLUES - I really want to try and add some more bluey goodness into my collection. I used to own more blues, but over the years they've kind of come and gone and as of right now, I really don't own that many at all. But, I guess I want to try and expand my colour selection again! I will admit that blues aren't so much a go-to of mine when it comes to nail colours, but I guess that could partly be down to the fact I don't have that many - even less since my last declutter. So, I really want to at least attempt to make them a colour family I reach for far more - let's give that a go, yeah?
GREENS - Green is yet another colour family that I used to own far more shades, tones and finishes of in my stash, yet right now, don't really at all! Like Blues, the only shades I do have are far more Autumn/Winter appropriate and with Spring and Summer fast approaching *fingers crossed*, I really want to add some more bright, vivd greens into my collection for that season. To be honest, there was a time when I only really wore Blues and Greens on my nails during the warmer months. I now love all different shades, but in the past I used to especially enjoy those super-bright tones and for this Spring/Summer - I really want to get some back in my collection, ready for that!
NUDES - Out of my whole nail polish collection, I would say that as of right now, I only really have two shades I would deem 'nudes'. One more caramel, the other more pinky-toned - so in fairness, they cover a lot of bases - but I kinda feel like I want to try more. Maybe slightly deeper nudes, possibly experimenting with other undertones? I love colour on my nails and to be honest, that's what I go for the majority of the time, but I have come to appreciate a good nude lacquer for every now and again and for those occasions, I want to give myself some more options...
METALLICS - Finally, Metallics! It's no secret that I adore metallic nail polishes - the Barry M Molten Metals especially. Whether it be as a stand-alone polish, or as a base for other glitters and shimmers to be layered over the top, in order to create a whole host of different looks and colour combinations - they make for pretty awesome additions to your collection, in my opinion. And so, now I've streamlined my collection, I really fancy adding some more into my stash. Cause you know, the more colours, the more combinations possible. Oooh...
