Choi's nails

Sorry about the quality of the photos. The pieces were too big to fit in my light box that I had to look for alternative ways to photograph them at night but thanks for reading ;)

All of these were between £2.99-3.99 bought on a 3 for 2 deal. It's the time where I usually shop for polishes because that and the discount I have makes a good price. I picked up these last year between November and December and these were pretty new at the time but you might have seen some reviews about them already.

Matte collection

Matte collection

The two sets I really wanted to get was the matte and glitter textured effect polishes. I've had one or two polishes received in a collection where I didn't realise they were matte until swatching them but for a whole collection it's a first. They're not outstanding colours but they're good basic ones.

Glitter textured nail effects

Whenever I used to read about textured effects I used to think they looked too 'textured' for me, whilst looking on the polish rack these stood out to me so much so of course they made their way nicely into my basket.

Limited edition nail paints 2013

They had these two limited edition nail paints that I had to get especially the gold bar glitter polish on the left. I planned to use that for New years when I first brought it home but when it came nearer the time I totally forgot about this one. These two were exclusive to Superdrugs only. Boots also had another two limited ones which were different but I believe they're no longer on offer.

These were all the remaining ones I picked up to either make up for the 3 for 2 deal, as back ups or colours that I felt were essential to my collection like the nude. The crystal glaze polish wasn't needed but it looked good to have. It's a flaky top coat. FLAKY!



Have you ever tried Barry M? What's the polish you're looking forward to see me post about?

Bristol, Royal arcade, Lanesborough place, Barbican, Countess road

Swiss cottage

Swiss cottage was the last polish I picked up to get free shipping. I found it similar to the duochrome polish(?) which so many people was talking about awhile while back.

The polish names are pretty interesting in a way that they're places in the UK, mainly London I think which means everytime I read one of the polish names I'm like 'I've been there' or 'I know that place'

So far I've tried a few since receiving these. Not quite sure they're worth £11 (which is a little more expensive than some places that retail OPI) but for the price I got them I'll say they're good. Soon enough I'll have a line up of posts to show you what each polish looks like to stay tuned.

Have you tried Nails Inc polishes before? Which one are you most looking forward for me to try? :)

Top row L-R: Bubblegum, Luis lemon, Toxic apple, Pink punch, Pukka purple, Aqua violet Bottom row L-R: Banana split, Blueberry muffin, Strawberry tart, Grape fruit, Apple pie, Purple blue

The first time I picked up two neons and all the pastels except the pink one, strawberry tart, because they didn't have any in stock and I didn't know it existed. All Models own polishes retail for £5 each and Boots were having a 3 for 2 promotion so I purchased 6 polishes for £20.

On the second trip I picked up the four remaining of the pastel and neon collection and since I didn't want to let go of the promotion I picked up another two, aqua violet and purple blue. I purchased three of them using the points I had on my Boots advantage card since I had £15 in my account so I received them for three and paid £10 for the rest. 

Talking about this I didn't quite like the sales assistant that served me. I had to separate my transaction into two since I didn't have enough points to purchase the whole 6 and her expression made me feel like I was being a little troublesome. She's lucky she smiled at me as I left, it saved her LOL.


I needed a nail polish remover because the I finished the 100ml Curex bottle I previously hadone I had much quicker than I thought I would and only after I received it in the post did I notice that it contained acetone. I think my nails could do with less of that harsh chemical since I already use it for cleanups.


I've used a Sally Hansen remover before but couldn't remember which one, they seemed to work okay for me so I picked the SH acetone free one for artificial and sensitive nails. I wanted something a bit more strengthening and nourishing but the ones they offered didn't meet my needs or contained acetone. This 200ml bottle costed £2.45. Got slightly annoyed when I found that I could've purchased this cheaper elsewhere though.


I really don't need two removers but I've heard about this one before and was really interested so I picked it up without having a second thought. I'll be doing a review after I've used this long enough. This is priced at £4.99

Purple blue

Aqua violet

Last but not least, here's a bottle shot of the two extra polishes I took home with me. I believe both of these are from the beetlejuice collection which I told myself I'll get someday.

In total it came up to £52.44 for 14 items altogether but only £37.44 came out of my pocket. That's like £2.68 per item. I like to think of it like that because it makes things seem more worth it :)

Hope you enjoyed my haul! :)

Do you own any models own polishes? What do you think of them?
