Soooooo I woke up today in a bit of a nail mood, I fancied a change (yet again) and couldn't decide which one to wear! Then I became inspired and decided to do my top 5 nails varnishes, which then turned into 5 and a half (not to sure if this works, but it sounds ok in my head)! Soooo anywho, lets gets straight into the little pots of pretty coloured paint!!
I have a variety of colours that I have chosen, from a variety of different brands (both drugstore and higher end).

| L to R: Models Own 'Nude Beige', Avon ' Fuschia Fun' and Barry M 'Raspberry' |
Now aside from the badly painted nails above these are my most favourite colours all year round!! They go with pretty much any outfit and make me feel smiley and happy (which is never a bad thing)!! All 3 polishes are quite different though:
Models Own 'Nude Beige': This polish is really easy to work with, which is brilliant when you are as clumsy and impatient as I am!!! It is quite a thick consistency, so just be careful not to have too much on your brush. I find the more coats I do, the darker the polish gets, which means you can adapt it, which I think is great! The only slight downside (although it doesn't bother me) is the smell, is it me (and my very sensitive nose), or does this have an odd smell to it?! Having said that, I don't care and will repurchase this again and again! It is the only Models Own polish I own and I cannot wait to go and get some more! This polish retails at £5.00 (BARGAIN)!
Avon 'Fuschia Fun': This polish really surprised me!! I will be honest, I initially brought it because it was on offer in my Avon catalogue (yes I am that cool, but its got some brilliant stuff in it)!! I was on the market for a new pink (as if I don't have enough already) and the glitter in this really drew me to it! It is a really pretty bright pink and has really tiny particles of glitter in it, which looks really pretty in the light! It is quite a watery consistency and needs a few coats (this one had 3 coats), but its a bargain and last really well! I brought this for £3 when it was on offer in the catalogue!!
Barry M 'Raspberry': This is my HG nail polish and I am already on my 2nd bottle!! I literally adore this colour! It looks lovely in all seasons and can be adapted so well (I have worn it with so many different shades of glitter on). It goes on really easily and is a brilliant consistency. You only need about 2 coats to get it looking gorgeous! As with any red colour, I would advise using a base coat, otherwise it will stain slightly. According to the Superdrug website this retails at £2.99, although I really thought I paid more than that!

| L to R: Barry M 'Peach Melba', Avon 'Aqua Fantasy' and OPI (mini) 'Play the Peonies'. |
Barry M 'Peach Melba': This is such a pretty colour, and as one I only tend to wear in the spring this drugstore one does me just fine! This is quite a different consistency to the other Barry M one already mentioned and it requires a little more concentration to apply. You need about 3 coats of this colour, otherwise it can look very patchy. However that being said I think it is such a pretty colour it is well worth the time!! This retails at £2.99
Avon 'Aqua Fantasy': I'm going to be honest, this is not a colour I would usually go for, but I saw it on Sam from Pixiwoo and fell in love with it! It is such a pretty colour and when I fancy something different this is usually the one I go for. The picture above doesn't do it justice as it actually looks a lot paler on the nails than it does in this picture (think I may need a new camera)! Again it is quite tricky to work with and needs a few coats, but once you get the hang of it, its fine!! I brought this for £3, but it depends if you buy on line or in the catalogue and what offers they have on.
OPI 'Play the Peonies': Now this is my half nail polish because I got it in a mini set (Nice Stems) when it was on buyapower.com. This is such a cute nail polish and I love it. I wore it last week and had so many compliments on how pretty it looked!! This requires a few coats (I gave this one 3), but it looks beautiful afterwards!! I have no idea if you can buy this outside of the gift set or full size (let me know if you have any idea), I have looked on line but got rather confused (its been a long day)!
Anyway those are my 5 and a half top nail polishes. What do you think?!! If you were wondering I use the OPI Nail Envy as my base and top coat and I adore it!!
So what nail polishes do you recommend? What are your favourites, let me know!!!
