GREEN & YELLOW NAIL POLISH

U & I | Acid Yellow | Spring Green | Shade 4 | Green Glitter

803 | Lemon Ice Cream | Hidden Treasure | Totally Teal

Me and green nail polishes definitely have a hate hate relationship. I hate them and they hate my nails, every time I wear one they turn my nails an ugly colour. That being said, I do really like some of these polishes and one of my all time favourites is among this group! 

Hidden Treasure from Topshop is a multi-toned, mainly green metalic shade which gets me so many compliments every time I have it on my nails, this is one of my all-time favourite nail polishes! Totally Teal by No 7 is a dark teal shade that in some lights can look more black. Acid Yellow by Barry M is a neon yellow/green colour and is one of the few polishes I regret buying - it's so ugly on the nails! U & I is from the love hearts collection by MUA and is a really nice pastel, mustard yellow.

PURPLE & PINK NAIL POLISH

Vivid Violet | Purple Pulse | Manhattan | 'lilac'

Silvery Lilac | Lucky Lilac | Purple Sherbet | Shade 4

I went through a phase where I suddenly acquired a lot of lilac/purple shades but now looking at this little collection, I've realised that I don't like many of them at all.

Silvery Lilac by Barry M is a metallic, two-toned lilac polish with hints of green. Purple Sherbet by Ciate and Lucky Lilac by No 7 are both incredibly similar on the nails and are the perfect lilac shades. Manhattan by NYC is a dark maroon toned polish which is very much an autumn/winter shade. 

Strawberry Ice Cream | 'pink glitter | Shocking Pink | Peach Melba | Shade 1 | Plush Pink | Jammy

I honestly thought I had so many more pink nail polishes than I actually do. I really need to get some more because I just love how feminine pink/peach is. 

Peach Melba by Barry M is a favourite for a lot of people because it is the perfect, pale peach shade; a very natural looking polish. Plush Pink from Leighton Denny is a very vibrant pink colour, very barbie pink. Similar to this is Shocking Pink by Barry M which is more of a deep barbie shade. Also by Barry M is Strawberry Ice Cream which is a pastel pink and the ultimate 'girly' polish.

GLITTER & NUDE NAIL POLISH

Gramercy Glitz | Carnival | Disco Mix | 07 | 21

Glitter glitter glitter, everyone needs some glitter in their life. Some of these glitter polishes look great over another polish and others look great on their own. I have other glitter polishes but I thought it best to include them with the colours they are rather than this post :) 

Carnival by Technic is a dupe for an OPI polish and is actually my all time favourite glitter with lots of little multicoloured flecks. Number 07 from Saffron is a mixed sized silver glitter which is perfect for over darker polishes. Disco Mix is my newest Models own polish and I believe is great for an all over nail. 

Supermodel | Basil Street | My Fair Lady | Nude Beige | Mushroom

Everyone needs a fair few nude nail polishes in their collection. I mean, they are perfect for days when you want a natural look, or even special occasions that need something subtle. 

Supermodel by Leighton Denny is a brown toned nude that I believe could be a dupe for a Chanel polish. Nude Beige by Models own is similar to this, if not slightly lighter, and too is the perfect nude shade. My Fair Lady by Ciate is a more pink nude and is very very sheer on the nails. Mushroom from Barry M technically isn't a nude, it's more of a light brown, but I suppose is is quite neutral...

RED & ORANGE NAIL POLISH

 Raspberry | Canal Street | Beach Party | Red Glitter | Coral | Devils Delight

Hedonist | Bright Red | Tropical Sun | All Fired Up Red | Block Orange

I very rarely wear red and so it was a real surprise when I saw how many red/orange shades I had. I don't like a lot of these but some really are up there among my favourites! 

Beach Party by Models Own is my favourite nail polish at the moment, I love how neon it is and it gets so many compliments! Hedonist is also a very neon shade which leans more to the coral/orange end of the spectrum. Raspberry by Barry M used to be one of my favourites, its the perfect vampy red shade and Devils Delight from No 7 is definitely the perfect red red in my eyes. All Fired Up Red is a metallic red, magnetic polish from Fashionista which for me, is a really overrated concept.

BLUE NAIL POLISH

Denim | Mint Candy Apple | Blue Glitter | Wave | Aqua Cool | Mint Green

Teal | Navy | Balearic Cool | Blue Moon | Lapiz of Luxury | East Village

I didn't quite realise just how many blue/turquoise nail polishes I had until it came to doing this post. Its a bit of an odd nail colour, I mean its far from natural, but I do love a good blue every now and again.

Mint Candy Apple is a definitely a blogger favourite and in my opinion is the perfect mint green. Lapiz of Luxury is another by Essie and is a bright, slightly grey toned blue on the nails. Balearic Cool is my newest polish and is an almost neon blue, very striking! Teal by Barry M is a two-toned blue/green metallic shade which is very similar to East Village by NYC which is slightly lighter. Blue Moon by Barry M is quite unique, it's a very pale blue - almost white - shade with little tiny flecks of shimmer.
