Polish Stats!

Hello everyone!

Today we have a bit of a nail-post-with-a-difference. That is, I'm revisiting the type of post I did a couple of years back... the stats post!
The previous one can be found right here, and I suggest you go and check it out before you read this one and see if you can spot the differences, if there are any!

First of all, I now have a crazily wonderful 279 (approximately, and soon to be 281) full-sized nail polishes, without including top coats. Woops!
I wonder when that happened, hehe.



Out of these 279.......

Top 3 Brands I Own: 
1. Barry M - Well, if only they'd stop releasing awesome collections my purse would be a lot happier!
       These guys take up 30% of my polishes... Wow.
2. Models Own - It's the Colour Chromes... They caught me and wouldn't let me go.
       A less scary 12% is what these occupy.
3. Nails Inc - Although I haven't bought any of these in a while, they've still snuck into the top 3!
      A timid 10% let these pretties scrape a top spot.

Top 3 Colours I Own:
1. Blue - Oh, blue! Blue the ocean, blue the sky, blue the feeling- there's no escaping the blue, especially in my nail polish collection.
      Blue holds a special 18% of my heart.
2. Pink - Wait what? Pink? I've never ever thrown myself out there to be a pink fan, yet here I am with it coming up second in my top-colours. Who would've guessed!?
     Pink is holding a crazy 14% of my polish collection.
3. Green - I definitely expected to have more greens that I have... Oh well! Time to buy more!
    A cute 11% of my polishes are green in colour.

Top 3 Finishes:
1. Creme - Ah, the typical creme finish of a polish! It's no surprise that you grabbed the top spot, is it?
     You did however, only grab 20% of the whole collection.
2. Shimmer - Probably my most favourite effect, shimmers are just so pretty (especially in a rare burst of sunlight)
     Shimmers gave close competition, taking up 19% of all polishes.
3. Glitters - Oh glitters, what can you not be used for?
    11% of the parade can add a touch of sparkle to a mani. 

So there we have it! A very informative, up to date, stats post. This actually scares me slightly... I should probably get swatching and using all of these beauties before they start to rot!

If you want to be super duper nosy, you can take a peek at all my polishes right here in the spreadsheet! (Don't worry, it's online and you don't have to download anything)

I wanna know how many polishes are in your collection! What's your favourite brand, colour and finish? Drop me a comment below!

  2. Now for my actual comment LOL I have about 320 polishes, WHOOPS LOL. My all time, hands down favorite brand is essence (I have over 85 essence polishes), and for color, I think blue or green? For finishes I think I have mostly cremes and glitters at my top, but matte polishes are driving me freaking insane atm. <3 I can't get my hands on Barry M polishes in Croatia without paying insane money, but I recently got one as a gift and... I need more to live my life like a normal person. Lovely post! <3

    1. Hehe, I'm definitely nearing the 320 (and have added another 4 Barry M's to the collection since writing that post^). I only actually have one Essence polish :O I'll have to find more! Blues and greens are definitely the best though :P I can't say I'm a huuuge fan for matte finishes, but I have a matte topcoat if I ever feel like it. Hehe, you definitely need as many Barry M's as you can grab :P Hopefully you get more in the future! Thanks :D <3

Happy 2nd Blogiversary!

Hey everyone! It's officially the 2nd year of blogging over here on Nail Parade,  and I honestly can't believe that this is it, the two year mark already. I remember sitting in sixth form deciding to do this as a bit of a 'why not' thing and here I am now sitting in my room in Manchester still writing it, and loving it, after two whole years. It's really crazy!

Return of the Blogger

Howdy! How are you all? Me? I'm great! My second year of university is (finally) over, and I am so, so ready for the summer to get started - although the Manchester weather seems to be preventing this. The nail course I was doing is also over, so I'm one step closer to becoming a nail technician if my degree happens to go down the pothole (which hopefully it doesn't, because the world needs animals now more than ever in my opinion). So basically, I'm back to being 99% stress free, and extremely bored with hardly anything to do. And so, I have returned to you delightful people (if you are still there) and to any of you who join me to walk on the path of Nail Parade from this point forwards. What's the plan then? I'm gonna mess around with the blog layout a little, to start with, I think! I'm also planning lots of exciting swatches, and nail art funs for you all mixed in with the occasional book review, travel and lifestyle posts, as always, and probably...

"Where did all my money go!?"

What's this- an extra post!? I told you it would happen! Before we get started, please note that other titles for this post were considered, including "Bye bye student loan", "Nails over Food" and also "Oh poo, now I'm skint" So basically, one night...I went shopping. I have only one regret, and that is how much money I spent! In total, I got 6 parcels within 2 or 3 weeks, consisting of 19 polishes, 1 "Bling it On" kit, 1 set of nail strips, 1 eyeshadow palette, 7 stamping plates, 1 nail-studs wheel, 1 pack of nail stickers, 6 packs of water decals, 1 (tiny) pack of nail-studs and finally, 2 rolls of nail foils!
