Some of these are so dark and the shimmer so subtle that they look like cremes. Some walk right up to the line between shimmer and glitter. I definitely do not need all these variations—perhaps I need to have De-Stash Saturday to go along with Nail Wheel Wednesday.

omg!!! what a big collection :)
ReplyDeleteDe-stash Saturday - what a good idea. When I look at my polishes regularly (not just the new ones) I am always surprised by how many I have. And it's clear to see which colors I'm drawn to - like your dark blue shimmers collection. Good luck on the de-stashing, I hope there's someone nearby who'd be excited to get your old stuff as her new stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat is a large collection of dark blues! For some reason I kept staring at the close up of RBL Under the Stars. The texture looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteBruce Kittlee Master Ninja Warrior says HI!!!
WOW these all look so similar just with a quick glance at the wheel.. big collection of dark blue :)
ReplyDeleteMan, thats a lot of blue! I'm glad you showed some close ups as my (untrained) eye sees a lot of the same colour on the wheel but the pix of the closeups showed that there is variety.
ReplyDeleteWhat paulina said! Big collection lol. How many bottles do you own?!?!? (in all seriousness I would love to know!)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I like number 5!
Some seriously pretty blues! I like the two Chi polishes. :)
ReplyDeleteHave I been staring at the computer too long today?? Since 0600! But these all look awfully alike to me-in the close ups I can see shimmer differences. I love dark blue shimmers!
ReplyDeleteI love the ones with the itty bitty sparkles in them, like 16! So gorgeous!
ReplyDeletevery helpful post! I wanted Light My Sapphire for so long, and now I see it's not that very different from all the other blues, maybe I don't need it after all
ReplyDeleteI love the close ups because you can really see the differences then! Love the really glittery ones:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection! Some of them look so similar! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the close up shots. How many polishes do you have in your collection?
ReplyDeleteWow! So many, it's like you have every brand that ever made this shade, I'm so jealous.
ReplyDeleteHaha, looks like a much bigger version of my navy blue polish collection! I've vowed not to buy anymore, but we'll see how that goes... they're just too pretty:)
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to destash, I've gotten fussier about formula, but I am trumped on finish/color/how much I wanted the polish/how long it took to get, etc.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I smell hoarder on my breath, but I am getting better.
The motto is: if it dilutes the love, it's gotta go.
These look great! Esp. China Glaze Midnight Mission. Do you have any on-nail swatches of that?
ReplyDeleteI wonder how big your stash is. :-)
So many darks hehehe . Dark colour(blackish) I think I have 3 :)
ReplyDeleteoh boy, this wheel is up to my taste, i love them all ;-D
ReplyDeleteWow, you have so many dark blue shimmers! JEALOUS!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you don't like dark blue shimmer's more! ;) Definitely some stunners in there though
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. Lately this hue has been my absolute favorite!
