Luckily the navy blue tin box is just big enough to contain all my nail polishes

and 

it fits perfectly in my bookcase.

**All the nail polishes I have are purchased at sales. 

*One of the FlorMars, the Broadway Nails color and Golden Rose clear polish given to me by my friend.

My personal favorite brands are FlorMar and OPI because of their texture it's just easier to apply.

I love Sally Hansen's colors,

but

its the most difficult and disgusting texture to paint your nails with it.

Except Sally Hansen HD DVD color,

but you need to apply several coats to make it look nice on your nails,

or you need to use white color on your nails as a base coat.

I hate Sally Hansen's Super Shine, 

because it doesn't dry on my nails. 

It makes my dried nail polish wet 

and I smudge it because I am just too impatient to wait my nails to dry. 

LOL

*These are my personal non-payed opinions. 

My Make Up Collection

*I have high end and drug store products in my make up collection,

and believe it or not some of my favorite products are not the expensive ones, but the cheap ones! :)

I thought I didn't have too much products, especially eye make up products, 

but it turned out that I have quite a lot of make up products.

However, I am glad I don't have as much as some people (eg:Youtube Gurus)

It shows that I have just what I need, 

I am not buying just for the sake of feeling happy.

I am not using all the products I have,

because I am either bored 

or not happy with those products.

I plan to get a BB cream,

because I know how amazing it is (my Dermalogica beautician used it on me onces)

and I want a good tinted moisturizer

and a liner that will stay on my water line,

then I can join the Project 10 Pan

('do not buy any new make up products until you finish 10 products' challange)

all my make up products before organized.

I have some more at home in Europe.
