giant purge party swatchfest spam

so i decided to purge a lot of my collection a couple days ago.  i am down to 124 polishes now which still feels like too many.  i couldn't let a lot of the untrieds go without swatching them first.  so i present to you spam:

OPI "Fair Dinkum Pinkum"

China Glaze "Pinprick"

BYS "Fern"

BB Couture "Cleopatra"

NYX "Jungle"

Maybelline Express Finish "Bronze Aluminum"

Maybelline Express Finish "On Fire"

OPI "Bright Lights, Big Color"

China Glaze "Custom Kicks"

OPI "Jade Is the New Black"

Omega Labs "Metallic Green"

Toma Mood "Purple Shimmer to Blue Shimmer"

Santee "Jewelry Red"

Essie "Mochachino"

Misa "Burnished Bronze"

Piggy Polish "I and Love and Blue" (the name of this polish has special meaning to me)

Orly "Cool Cucumber" over OPI "Jade Is the New Black"

Oscar "Bayon Jay Frost"

Nicole by OPI "Turn Out the Lights" (the shimmer is actually rainbow in real life)

  5. I think these are all such pretty colors, but I'm totally on the same page as you.. I just added 100 colors to my sale list. I would really like to be able to contain my collection in just one Helmer, so that means I need to purge another 150 or so.. All this purging is reminding me to shop my stash, and it's kept me from buying any new fall colors, which is wonderful for my wallet!!

  6. I LOVE Nicole by OPI's "Turn Out the Lights". I got it last year in a duo pack at TJMaxx. It came with "It Gets Dark Early". I think I only spent around $7 for the set, and the two colors are some of my favorites! Great swatches!

  7. I & Love & Blue is a reference to I & Love & You from Avett Brothers, right? I'm in looooove with that song, I just wish I liked the polish a little more:/ Maybe I'll have to franken my own haha.
    & ughhh, your swatch makes me want BBC's Cleopatra even more now, I've been trying to hold out!
