Today all at once my favourite moisturiser, sunscreen and foundation all ran out, and as such I found myself snipping open various tubes of lotions and potions, swearing that beauty brands are in this together. They aren't, and of course my three most used products will disappear the quickest but that doesn't make the sting of replacing a selection of skincare items any easier. Goodbye money, it was nice knowing you. I then got to thinking, why is it that I deplete foundation, SPF and general skincare items several times a year, and yet I have a nail polish from what I am guessing is 2009 that is still going strong (I'm exaggerating of course).

Nail polish, I like you but only in small doses; some days or even weeks I enjoy a glossy manicure and then suddenly I have this urge for bare nails. I secretly think it is the upkeep, I enjoy painted nails but feel really unkempt when then begin to chip, even self concious to a degree. Then I'll go through phases of visiting nail salons for gel overlays but again the upkeep is too much - gel overlays are wonderful, they allow your natural nails to grow underneath, on the most part are inexpensive and really hard-wearing. However you can't remove them at home all that easily and a few weeks down the line, they do look a little tatty. Basically I am not a nail polish kinda gal and that explains why I have half used, to semi-full bottles of various nail paints scattered freely around my home. Go figure.
Yes I am a fairly care...
