My favorite nail varnishes

Hello everyone,
I have seen a few people doing posts similar to this and so I thought I would do one too! I have so many nail varnishes it was so hard to take it down to my top four, but these are the ones which I reach for during the weekend (we aren't allowed to wear it at school)
Nails inc. 'Basil Street', Barry M 'Raspberry',  Leighton Denny 'Lollipop' and Barry M 'Flamingo'
Nails inc. 'Basil Street'- I tend to wear this one to school  during the week because we aren't allowed to wear nail varnish to school, but because I don't like wearing nothing on my nails, I find that this is a good nude colour to wear.
Barry M 'Flamingo'- this is probably my most reached for nail varnish in the spring/summer (although I sill wear it in the winter to brighten my mood!) It is the perfect bright hot pink without it being too luminous. I really love Barry M, they are my favorite brand for nail varnish because they are really good price and they have so many colours!



































Barry M 'Raspberry'- this is my favorite colour to wear during the winter. It's more bright than it looks in the photo, but without it being a bright red. I think raspberry is a really good name for it because it is exactly the same colour as the raspberry jam that I had on my toast this morning!
Leighton Denny 'Lollipop'- my Grandma gave me this about 6 months ago. It is slightly darker than 'Flamingo' and it brings my tan out more during the summer and I really like putting it on my toes too.

Overall as you can see I really like bright pinks/reds. My favorite brand as I said earlier is Barry M because it is well pigmented, cheap and they have a wide colour range. I also really recommend Collection 2000 because they are such a good price (£1.79 in Boots) and they are so creamy and well pigmented! If you were wondering my favorite colour is Hoola hoop which is a bright pink!

Oh and I also bought these dotting tools off of eBay the other day and they came yesterday. I haven't used them yet but I can't wait to!
