Sure, it has been a month since I final posted. I used to be overly optimistic about what I might get finished between my lengthy journey and the shorter one I acquired again from earlier this week. However now I’ve managed to get by all of the show photographs I took on the lengthy journey. I did not doc the shade names for these as I used to be restricted within the time I might spend searching in shops. Talking of shops, I solely went to ones I got here throughout, so it was all Boots and Superdrug areas in London, Birmingham, and Southampton.
I might by no means seen a Barry M show in individual earlier than this one. It was principally stuffed with Gelly shades, however there have been remedies within the higher left and decrease proper. The underside row had a number of Hello Vis shades.
The identical retailer had a bit part with six Gelly shades, at the very least one among which was within the larger part proven above, so I am undecided what this was about … seasonal assortment of repromotes possibly. I did observe the shade names right here: All in One Basecoat Topcoat and Nail Hardener, Espresso, Chai Latte, Raspberry Ripple, Grape Soda, Pistachio, Pineapple Punch.
A Superdrug in Southampton had a wider collection of Barry M. This show had In a Flash fast dry colours on the left facet, with Hello Viz neon shade on the highest proper, with Velvet matte shades, Gelly Rose Tinted assortment, and a few glitters beneath that in the precise hand facet.
That very same Superdrug additionally had an enormous show with Gelly colours and prime/base/remedies. It was so large I did not get all of it within the body of the photograph … ooops.
There have been six extra Gelly shades featured in that Superdrug in a separate show part. These weren’t the identical six as within the Boots in London, so undecided what is going on on there.
I admit I used to be sorely tempted by the Boots model faux nails, however resisted as I knew I had numerous units of different manufacturers at dwelling.
I might by no means heard of the Assortment model earlier than, and solely bumped into one show for it. The highest two rows had been Highlight Shine colours and the underside two had been Gel Impact.
Just like the Boots faux nails, I used to be additionally tempted by the Elegant Contact ones, as I am unable to get that model at dwelling, however once more, despite the fact that fakes are simpler to make use of up than polish, I really want to make use of what I have already got. (I used to be not tempted by the Kiss nails, as I’ve quick access to these.)
Essie is not onerous to search out at dwelling however it was nonetheless fascinating to see the shows in England. This one at Superdrug had mini bottles, a line known as Love by Essie that I do not recall seeing earlier than (it is plant based mostly), a bunch of shades within the common line, a smaller collection of Gel Couture, and prime/base/remedies.
At Boots, the show was related, however had extra shades and as an alternative of the Love line, had an Expressie part.
A unique Boots had a trending shades part above their foremost Essie show. This had Ballet Slippers, Birthday Woman (offered out), Cute as a Button, Lilacism, Salt Water Pleased, and Mint Sweet Apple.
I solely noticed a Kiko show as soon as, at what I regarded as the flowery Boots (it was at the very least twice as large as any of the others I went into). This had removers, prime/base/remedies, and shades from the Energy Professional and Good traces.
The one Make-up Academy polishes I noticed had been on this standing show with neon make-up for summmer.
I miss the times when Maybelline had numerous polish releases, so many with fascinating colours and finishes. I noticed two traces from them in England, each with a reasonably tame collection of shades. Here is the Tremendous Keep:
And the Quick Gel:
I’ve a tender spot for Max Issue because it was a model my mother used. Their presence within the US appears to have light lots since then however it appears going sturdy in England. This show had three traces of nail polish: Nailfinity (longwear gel-like color and not using a UV lamp), Miracle Pure Nail (plant-based and 100% vegan), and Masterpiece Xpress Fast Dry (60 seconds excessive shine wealthy color).
A unique retailer had this association of Nailfinity and Masterpiece Xpress:
That retailer’s inventory of Miracle Pure Nail seemed to be a restricted version assortment from Priyanka Chopra Jonas, together with her identify printed on the labels. I did get these shade names. Prime row: Glowing Gentle, Dawn Glow, Radiant Rose, Vanilla Spice. Backside: Winter Sundown, Daring Cherry, Daring Rosewood, Starry Night time.
Like Assortment, I hadn’t heard of the My Temper model earlier than I noticed the show. This was organized by teams: Want a Prime Up (glitters), Nude Temper (a spread of skintone cremes), Nail the Dream (shimmery pastels), Subsequent Stage Neon (neons plus a white base), On the Brightside (appears a number of pastels snuck into this half), Cult Classics (shocked the blue was right here and never with brights), Therapies (bases, topcoat, oil), and Energy {Couples} (pairs of appropriate shades).
A better take a look at the glitters, which nearly made me break my no shopping for polish rule for this journey:

At one other retailer that they had a Rimmel Nail Bar part with a wider vary of shades, together with a pair glitter prime coats. These had been principally 60 Seconds Tremendous Shine with 4 rows of Tremendous Gel within the higher proper.
My previous good friend Sally Hansen had some represention over the pond. At Superdrug, that they had a collection of Good Sort Pure, Miracle Gel, Insta Dri, and coverings.
At a Boots, that they had an identical assortment of Sally Hansen.
I’m nonetheless amazed that I managed to not purchase any nail polish on my journey. Each time I acquired tempted, I might remind myself of the numerous many many lovely untrieds ready for me at dwelling. I did purchase three concealers and a basis (and sunscreen and some different issues I used on the journey), and have purchased a number of polishes since I have been dwelling, in order at all times I am a piece in progress.

Weeeeellll that’s not totally true, however in the event you observe me over on Instagram or Fb you’ll know I’ve had a number of HUGE clearouts of my wardrobe up to now this yr. And I feel it might be fairly near at the very least 1/3 of my wardrobe gone up to now (and doubtless extra to go, to be trustworthy!)
However why? What has sparked this mass clear-out you ask?
The reply is fairly easy actually. I used to be getting overwhelmed with selections.
I began to get overwhelmed by the state of my wardrobe – an excessive amount of of a very good factor might be actual!
See? I’m not not like you. Typically I take a look at my wardrobe and don’t know the place to start out. My downside is although I just about LOVE every part I personal – which makes it arduous to say goodbye to issues!
A part of my job as a private stylist is to assist individuals perceive their distinctive fashion, by what I name your Fashion Foundations. So mainly what meaning is, you already know what colors you want, what shapes work finest in your physique, and what precise types of garments you want sporting (ie. traditional, structured, daring, female, and many others). We then USE these foundations as filters once we do a wardrobe audit. So if objects of clothes in my consumer’s wardrobe don’t meet these requirements, they’re gone!
Through the years, I’ve labored actually arduous to work on my fashion foundations, so what meaning is that I’m often fairly good at shopping for issues that I actually love, that swimsuit my form, and that actually match my distinctive fashion. However what that additionally means is that it’s more durable to make use of these tips to maneuver issues on too, as a result of most of my garments MEET these three standards haha! Therefore FULLLLLL wardrobe.
So again to the beginning of this yr, and too many garments – I do know it seems like a “horrible” downside to have, too many superior garments, however any kind of overwhelm can begin to create anxiousness and I used to be beginning to really feel confused about having to dress daily (sound acquainted?). I needed to have the ability to actually benefit from the garments I already had, and to some extent, break the cycle of all the time wanting so as to add extra new and glossy.
I obtained ruthless, I imply RUTHLESS! That is what I did, my tips for actually clearing out what wasn’t serving me 100% anymore, hopefully, a few of these may also help you too:
1. I set a REALLY particular timeframe
Now I often get my shoppers to do that, choose a timeframe that they haven’t worn their on a regular basis garments for – it could be one yr, it could be 5 – it’s as much as the person.
I used COVID lockdowns as my timeframe. I obtained pregnant and had a child throughout lockdowns, however that was 3 years in the past now. We’ve had loads of winters (and the occasional summer season) since then, so something that hasn’t been worn within the timeframe SINCE COVID routinely went onto the “to be offered” pile. Easy as that.
2. I attempted garments on.
Now I often simply do a fast flick by my racks once I’m doing a little bit of a wardrobe cull, ‘sure, sure, no, possibly’ however this time, I pulled out issues that I paused on and put them in a pile to TRY. Holy cow it made such a distinction!
I had a ravishing costume that had embroidered flamingoes on it. It was so fairly to have a look at in my wardrobe, an actual wow piece. One which I all the time thought I’d preserve without end as a result of it was so stunning to have a look at… however once I tried it on, it didn’t match proper anymore. Nicely, didn’t that make the choice simpler? I used to be by no means going to put on it once more as a result of it merely didn’t match. Byyyyyyye!
On the flip aspect, I had just a few issues in my “presumably to go” pile that once I tried again on, I realised how a lot I did get pleasure from sporting them, and made a promise to them (and to myself) to convey them again into circulation (what, you don’t speak to your garments? I believed everybody did… simply me then. Okay)
3. Did the merchandise match my Fashion Character anymore?
Everybody’s fashion evolves. It’s one of many largest locations my private styling shoppers get caught. They haven’t taken the time to re-assess their very own sense of favor, and hastily, they don’t even know what it’s anymore. So I had a protracted arduous take into consideration my very own sense of favor, and what I needed it to seem like.
What that meant was that a number of the items that I beloved and that had served me loyally for years needed to go. They simply didn’t match who I needed to be anymore. For instance, though certainly one of my Fashion Character phrases is female, I don’t actually love floral prints – they really feel a bit too girly for my fashion. I had just a few beautiful items that simply didn’t match with my evolving concept of what female is to me. So that they went.
precise footage of me deciding if I’m nonetheless in love with my glitter trainers… the reply, after all, is sure!
So what am I doing in another way this yr to cease the overwhelm from coming again? Nice query! There are just a few little issues I’m doing in another way, and right here they’re.
1. I’m shopping for much less, however higher high quality.
I really like supporting native NZ manufacturers, and I can respect the effort and time that goes into designing a spread (particularly after designed my collab assortment with Harrie and Sam final yr). I need to not solely help native companies extra, but in addition put money into items that I REALLY love, and that can stand the check of time. So I’m making an attempt to purchasemuch less however purchase higher.
2. I’m making an effort to decorate up and put on one thing completely different daily.
I do know that seems like a no brainer, however I are likely to grow to be a repeat offender. If I really like an outfit, I’ll put on it on repeat till I get sick of it! This would possibly work in case your Mark Zuckerberg (who famously wears the identical factor to work daily) however in the event you’re a private stylist that loves print and color, that doesn’t benefit from what I’ve obtained.
So I’m making a concerted effort to placed on one thing I really like each morning, no matter what I’m doing. In actual fact, as I sit right here working from residence penning this weblog, I’m sporting a cute matching high and skirt from Flo & Frankie, that I not too long ago purchased, not saving it for an event, simply sporting it as a result of it’s fairly.
They’re simply two modifications I’m making to MY wardrobe this yr, with the hope to essentially BUY much less and WEAR extra.
