Favourite Nail Polishes

As I mentioned in my '10 Random Things About Me' post, lately I have developed a bit of an obsession with nail polishes. I really want to grow my collection, but the only polishes I seem to be interested in at the moment are Chanel ones, which are pretty pricey ($39) as far as nail polishes go.

Recent Purchases

Chanel Orange Fizz (swatches)

I had never seen this polish before I tried it at my best friend Laura's house and I was hooked. I love the peachy shade, it is my favourite nail polish at the moment.

Mecca Lychorinda

I love this teal shade, it's just a bit different, and I'm really loving darker polishes during winter (I don't have a pic, here is the colour).

Poshe Super Fast Drying Top Coat from Adore Beauty

Another one I purchased after trying Laura's. The thing I most hate about painting my nails is waiting for them to dry. I cannot stand to sit still for an hour after my nails have been done, so when I tried Poshe, I loved it! I have a Revlon top coat which was supposed to serve the same purpose but I didn't find that it did the job. This, however, does what it says, it drys in 5 mins and leaves a lovely glossy coat over the top of my nails.

Favourites

OPI Over The Taupe

I bought this as a dupe for Chanel Particuliere (comparisons here and here). I love this colour, it looks so natural and chic, it is a great colour for winter and goes well with my winter wardrobe (here is a picture of me wearing it).

OPI Eiffel For This Colour (swatches)
I love this dark purple, unlike other ones I've tried, it doesn't look so dark that it can be mistaken for black. Another great colour for winter.

Napoleon Perdis Poolside
I bought this ages ago, and it's still one of my favourites. Every time I wear it I get heaps of complements, it's such a beautiful shade and so shiny!

OPI Purple With A Purpose

I bought this polish at least six months ago and never wore it until about 2 months ago. It is such an amazing colour, it is hard to tell in the picture of the bottle, but it has an amazing two tone-ness (I know that's not a word!) about it, so glossy and pretty (here and here is a picture of me wearing it).

Wish List

 

Chanel Paradoxal (swatches)
I just came across this yesterday and I have to have it. Chanel's new it colour .

Mecca Boadacia (top)
A dark, dark, red polish. Another one of Laura's. Very glamorous and slightly goth.

Mecca Painted Beauty Nail Colours (swatches)
I love all these shades, and I can't decide which to get. I may have to end up getting all of them, they would be great for summer.

Chanel Lilac Sky (swatches)
This is such a pretty colour, I love the shimmer. Another I can't wait to wear in summer.

OPI Get In Lime
I completely missed the hype of Chanel Jade and this is my answer for it (because I refuse to pay $200 for a nail polish). I've only seen swatches of it, but as far as I can tell this is the closest I've seen.

As you can see, I have a slight obsession...

What are your favourite nail polishes? Are there any you're dying to get your hands on?
