My Nail Polish Collection: Part 1

Its been a few days since I've written a post but I'm back!

Recently, I counted my nail polishes and realised that I have 101 bottles. Whoops! Then I thought that as I have a fair few, I'll do a blog post on them!

As you can tell from the title, this is only part one. These are the nail polishes that I have lots of from a certain brand because all my others are little random ones. This is probably about half of my collection so part two will be the rest and part three will be effects/tools.

In this post, I do not wish to brag and all products have been purchased over a number of years. I'm not going to go into detail on them, there are only pictures. However if you wish to know the colour, leave a comment or tweet me at @farfromvogue_ and I will happily tell you.

The first brand is Models Own. This is one of my favourite brands of nail polishes however I recently bought a chrome colour and found that it chipped easily which wasn't the best. I'll also say in advance that most of the colours are purple as I went through a phase of loving purple nail polishes (I did the same with red!!). 

The next brand is Barry M and this is my ultimate favourite as I have loved every shade and never had a problem! My favourite shade is Ballerina which I only got a few days ago (hopefully it will be featured in a haul post soon) and I'm wearing it now. Being a ballet dancer myself, I have grown up with leotards, tights and ballet shoes this colour and think that it is simply gorgeous!

This brand is one that I used to love and it is the Claires nail polishes. I do not currently buy from there anymore yet I do still use the colours as they are alright.

This final brand is No.7 which is from Boots. When I was younger I thought these were the most high-end nail polishes you could get because of the fancy bottle. Eventhough I don't think that now, they are still amazing. Sadly, they are expensive at £7 a bottle so I would only buy them when my mum had a £2 off voucher. Once again, there are quite a few purple ones!

I hope you enjoyed that post, I enjoyed writing it! I love nail polishes and if you want I can do posts on my nail art as well because it's actually something that I'm kind of good at!! Remember to leave a comment if you want to know what the names of various colours and say your favourite nail polish/brand so everyone can try something new!!

Versatile Blogger Award!!

A few weeks ago, I was nominated by Bhavika (beautybybxoxo) for the Versatile Blogger Award!

For this award, you tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself and then nominate other bloggers.

It was hard to think of 7 interesting things that aren't obvious so here I go...

1. Textiles/Art - Not that many people know that I am into art and fashion/designing because I'm not one to go round tooting my own horn (is that the right saying??). But it has always been an absolute dream of mine to one day be working in a creative job rather than behind a desk all day but I haven't really told anyone that yet... I guess blogging is a good way to start!!

2. Ballet - I have always loved dance and my main style is ballet. I've been doing it since I was 4 and at times I hate it but others, I love it. I am currently in Grade 6 but soon to be in Grade 7 (hopefully!!) soon out of eight Grades in total!

3. Nail Polish - I'm not much of a makeup person but I love nail polish. I don't really know how it all started but I have well over 50 bottles and I think that may be too many! This week though, I will be having a post going up about my collection!!

4. Driving Games - This sounds absolutely bonkers and out of place on a blog like mine but I really like racing games (normal, I know). I think it's because I have two older brothers (6 and 8 years older) so growing up, we would play on the PlayStation 2 (games like Simpsons Hit and Run). I also watched my brother for hours playing Call of Duty although it wasn't really suitable for a 10 year old girl! Whoops!

5. Books - I love reading as it's just a way to escape everything and you can really be in your own little world. It takes me a while to get into a good book but once I have, I will read like there's no tomorrow!

6. Holidays - I'd love to travel and visit loads of places in the world and I would like to go on more holidays (I don't mean that in a spoilt way!) as I haven't actually been on holiday aince I was about ; and I have never been out of the country. My first time out of the country will be on the Battlefields Trip at the end of the year with school!

7. London - Last but certainly not least! I absolutely love London as it is such a diverse city. For example, you have the House of Parliament on one side of the river and then the graffiti covered skatepark on the opposite side. There's Buckingham Palace on one side of London and then hipsyers and Shoreditch on the opposite side. London is such a magical place during the day and at night and it is so accessible with all th pe trains and red buses. If you ever get a chance, you should really try and seek out the hidden gems of London rather than the obvious tourist attractions.

That's my seven facts! Hope you enjoyed them!!

Liebster Award

A few days ago, I was nominated for the Liebster Award! Since then I've also been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award and the Very Inspiring Blogger Award so they'll be up in the next few days.

I'd first like to thank "From Pen to Screen" for nominating me and you should check out her blog as her writing is AMAZING!!

Before I start, there are a few rules:

Link the person who nominated you

Answer all the questions given

Nominate 11 other blogs with less than 200 followers

Create 11 questions for the nominees to answer

Notify all the other nominees through social media/their blogs

Questions I was given:

1. What made you start blogging?

It was a rather spontaneous decision actually! I'd been thinking about it for a while and just thought I'd start it!

2. Polaroids or digital camera?

Although polaroids look adorable and vintage, I prefer digital as you can have them on your computer and always having them rather than having them printed as I'd probably lose them!

3. Writing or drawing?

As much as I love writing, I'd have to say drawing as I love it! But I can also write something and then draw a picture to with it which is the best of both!

4. Nandos or Wagamamas?

Nandos allllll the way! 

5. Who was the first blogger you read?

I think it was The Life of a Fashion Nerd, Tolly Dolly Posh and Jojorickart (formerly known as Miss Jojangles).

6. What's your favourite colour?

Purple!

7. First concert you went to?

I've only been to one and I don't know whether it counts but I went to the Big Gig which is a Girl Guiding Concert! I actually loved it though because Ed Sheeran, The Wanted (who I loved at the time), Olly Murs, Eliza Doolittle and Pixie Lott were there!

8. Fairy Lights or Bunting?

I did buy fabric to make bunting but it has to be fairy lights! I have quite a lot in my room!!

9. Twitter or Instagram?

Well I don't have Instagram so I guess it'll be Twitter for me!

10. All time favourite make up product and why?

I don't wear make up so I can't answer this. Sorry!

11. Camping or hotel?

Camping! I go every year with Guides/Rangers and it is soooo fun - unless it's wet!

Those were my 11 questions! Now I need to nominate 11 blogs - but it may be a few less than 11!

www.littleworldofannahiya.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

This is actually all the bloggers as all the other ones I though of (there's a long list!) have already done the Liebster Award!!

But anyway, here are my questions:

1. Why did you start blogging?

2. Favourite perfume/body spray?
