Unconventional Collectibles Nail Polish
A new addition to the the unconventional series. One of my To Do list items for this long weekend was to go through and organize my polish. While I don't use everyone everyday I do use a LOT of them often especially with the Konad stamping.
While I had it all on the floor I decided to do some photos. I have to say I actually had LESS than I thought I did. Polish is one of my mom's and Dave's most commonly gifted items. My mom is a licensed hair dresser so she can get me OPI, China Glaze and Essie at wholesale cost. :) It is nice to have hookups. For the 14 years we have been together Dave has given me so many polishes. When we were first dating the first year Dave had bought me a tiny bottle of purple polish and he had it in his hand when he rang the buzzer at my dad's house. He dropped it on my dad's cement front step. heeee My dad NEVER let him forget it and it never came out!
Detail shots.
OPI
Orly
Calvin Klein (If you know you know Dave you KNOW instantly he picked this little set out. He loved the small square bottles) apparently it is no longer available. Boo!
The oddballs
Chanel
Decorator's these had a tiny tiny brush for detail work
Rimmel and one Sally Hansen. I didn't notice until I uploaded that one of them wasn't like the other. I saw square and instantly grouped it.
Milani
China Glaze
Sally Hansen
MAC
Essie
American Apparel (yes that's me on the right side of their page! Dave is guilty for all these! It is next to his school)
And the ones I decided I haven't worn in awhile so I don't need them
If you don't like polish you don't need to share that. This is what I collect and I love. Hey I don't drink , I don't smoke. I polish.
To keep them from thickening get yourself a bottle of thinner. You can find it at Sally's. I also use Seche Vite top coat. Dries your nails in 5 minutes flat.
If you are from a polish company and you'd like me to review your collection please feel free to email me! byhillary AT gmail DOT com
Feel free to ask if you'd like opinions on any that I might have.

OPI is my favorite brand for consistency in product.
Have you checked out Makeup Alley's nail polish board? It's great :)
I am drooling over your collection! :)
heather I am like that with hello kitty
Clo I actually don't like the x-treme wear. I have had really bad luck with them. They chip easily and they stain your hands BAD. I like the sally hansen maincure ones a lot though.
Dana it is just fun to say it isn't it?
You probably have more colors than my manicurist !
But here is it on me.
