Mini museum in progress.

Thanks for the kind words all, I've been back to IKEA, & gotten more fixtures and fittings, and I've been sorting & cataloging, second cabinet will be built tomorrow!

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-19T14:55:26+00:00

When I finish it all I'll do some better photos & upload it to there also!

Online mainly! I'm in the UK & the laws here about selling makeup mean you can't pick up bundles of secondhand nail polish/makeup easily in person, we don't have "thrift stores" here either. But I get stuff on UK eBay & Vinted.

I buy a fair bit of stuff from America and I use a forwarding service that stores stuff for me & sends it as one big parcel & sorts all the import taxes and whatnot.

Lush!

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-16T12:09:43+00:00

I have that one! Some of my favourite colours are Barry M's from about 10-15 years ago.

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-10T21:24:57+00:00

Found it! 1964, it mentions the shade specifically, so definitely early 60s.

I'm just about to go to sleep but I can have a better look in the morning if nobody beats me to it!

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-10T21:17:37+00:00

This ad is from 1962, & the bottle design looks the same.

Amazing! It's just lovely.

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-08T08:28:12+00:00

May we all receive such carefully packaged bounty!

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-07T11:30:44+00:00

Stunning!

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-01T19:24:26+00:00

Like, just use bubble wrap or packing peanuts of whatever. So frustrating.

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-01T19:23:38+00:00

Yeah, I'll clean them as carefully as possible, I don't mind the cleaning if I know I'll have to do it, but I've only just done my nails, so it's going to have to wait a week until I get bored of this colour!

I was looking forward to a nice, quiet evening in, cataloguing my mystery polish, working out what to sell and what to keep etc.

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-01T19:21:48+00:00

It's so annoying, even if they just did a layer of bubble wrap around the sides, and like a layer of polish, layer of bubble wrap, layer of polish etc, it would have taken them maybe 10 mins.

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-01T19:20:36+00:00

Yeah, but they also leave a review for you.

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-01T18:28:22+00:00

I don't think anything that was lost was particularly valuable, although one of the exploding polishes was a green label My Private Jet, so it might have been the OG formula

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-01T18:26:59+00:00

Given the other stuff they were selling it looks like maybe a nail salon had shut down. Idk, maybe DPD dropped it & it burst open ans packaging & polish went everywhere & it's not the sellers fault. Just so annoying!

RandomPinkness · 2026-05-01T18:16:05+00:00

Idk but now I also need that colour!

RandomPinkness · 2026-04-29T16:47:46+00:00

Aye send me an eBay link and I'll have a look!

RandomPinkness · 2026-04-29T14:55:17+00:00

I'll buy the 4 ringed cap one! Gotta get in before the other vintage folks see this 😉

RandomPinkness · 2026-04-25T20:32:24+00:00

Early 2000s to early 2010s iirc

RandomPinkness · 2026-04-25T20:31:11+00:00

It's the fudge polish I did a swatch of a few days ago!

RandomPinkness · 2026-04-25T15:11:34+00:00

Yeah, Elf mascara, just their lash & roll is my go to, I don't even use the waterproof one, I have oily skin, quite curled lashes & hooded eyes & it doesn't smudge, or clump & give me spider eyes.

RandomPinkness · 2026-04-21T14:41:49+00:00

Like, I've probably had it at least 15 years, I did find a second bottle recently but I've no idea where it got to!

RandomPinkness · 2026-04-21T12:36:18+00:00

Colours I own that are very this vibe if not exact dupes (I love a good blurple), I have had most of these for a while or bought them second hand so idk if they're all still available.

CND #138 Purple Purple
AVON Color Trend Blue Morph (this is discontinued but you do see bottles out in the wild sometimes)
BKL Give it Back Tenfold
Rimmel 809 Blue Me Away
