Hi everyone! Today I have my Avon nail polish collection to share with you. I’m almost done with the “A” brands, just a couple to go!
I own 23 total Avon polishes. I had not worn any of them! They were all bought between 2012-2014. I’m going to break them up into smaller sub-sections for this post.
I’ll start with the Avon Cosmic Nail Enamel Collection. There were 10 of these in that collection and I bought them all in May 2013 from the Avon website. These are subtle holos and quite fashion forward for a specialty brand back then. I probably have dupes to some of these but for now I will keep the collection together and keep them all.
Avon Cosmic Nail Enamel Collection:
Aurora
Celestial
Eclipse
Galaxy
Moonbeam
Radiant
Saturn
Starburst
Starlight
Super Nova
Bottles with flash (same order as above)…

Inside with sun through a window.
I wanted to take a closer look at a few of these, so I put Celestial (pale sage green), Moonbeam (champagne silver), Radiant (soft gold) and Starlight (chartreuse) from index to pinky. 2 coats of each. I just used my regular basecoat and didn’t have any dragging or balding like you sometimes would with holos back then.

Next up I have the Avon Nailwear Pro (6) and Avon Suede Nail Enamels (2). The 6 Nailwear Pro’s were bought in 2012 and the 2 Suede’s were bought in 2013 second hand.
Avon Nailwear Pro:
Blue Shock
Gunmetal
Night Violet
Ruby Slipper
Splendid Blue
Violetta Sparkle
Avon Suede Nail Enamel:
Blue Royal
Touch of Taupe

I took a closer look at Blue Shock, Gunmetal and both Suede’s Blue Royal and Touch of Taupe. 2 coats of each index to pinky.

Then I flipped them and added matte topcoat to the first 2 and a glossy topcoat to the last 2…
I am going to purge some of these. I’m letting go of Gunmetal and both suede’s. I really like the suede’s both matte and glossy but I feel like I may have some OPI’s that are similar.
Last up is the Avon Glitter Nail Enamel (3 – bought second hand in 2013), Avon Nailwear (1 – bought in 2014 from ebay) and Avon Nail Experts (1 – bought in 2014 second hand).
Avon Glitter Nail Enamel:
Sparkling Plum
Sparkling Red
Sparkling Sky
Avon Nailwear:
Midnight Plum
Avon Nail Experts:
Gold Strength
My bottle of Sparkling Plum has definitely changed color. What should be a deep purple looks to be almost rose gold. Gold Strength is a very fine gold shimmer topper.

I am going to purge all of these except the gold shimmer topper.
One last look at the whole collection…
Well, there we have it!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

These are nice ones. I have soooo many Avon polishes…about 2.5 Helmer drawers worth. I have some oldies I picked up from eBay and a girl I used to work with gave me some too.

That’s a lot of Avon polishes! I like them because there are some unique ones, they’re not all boring cremes!

Hi Stella!
Thanks for checking out my blog post! They are subtle but really pretty! There are some unique colors in there too I think!

Those holos are actually quite pretty, a little reminiscent of a-england because they are so soft and delicate!
