My Nail Varnish Collection

Sunday, 24 March 2013


Hello,

Firstly I would just like to apologise for my absent these last couple of weeks, if I am totally honest with you, I just haven't had any motivation to post or really wanted to. However, by not blogging this has made me realise how much I miss it and I have quite a few exciting new products coming up so keep posted for that!


So I saw a 'new' way of organising nail varnish on Pinterest (which now I can't find the pin for) however I have seen this week on Instagram (follow me @misslaceyloves) that the new store "& Other Stories" which is based in Regents Street, London also show their polishes in this way.  I always struggle to decide what nail colour to apply unless I am in a particular mood or I have made a new purchase.


I bought a bag of lolly pop sticks from Lakeland for £2.59 for 100 of them and simply just painted the tip and wrote the nail and brand of the polish on the body of the stick. This also helped to see the consistency of the colours and how easy they painted on. I now keep them in a little pot next to my nail polishes. It helps me see which colours that I own so none of them get lost in the back of my cupboard! 


























What do you think of this idea? How do you keep your polishes organised?

      It makes it so much easier plus you can compare shades easier too! x

    That is such a great idea. The texture of lollypop sticks give me the heeby jeebies though (weird I know).

    This is actually a really great idea. I ordered nail wheels over a year ago now but have mysteriously lost about 15 of them so I need to order more! I know what you mean about looking at them and deciding because with the amount I have I sometimes feel over whelmed with what one to go for haha!

    Awww that's a really cute idea, I keep all mine on a mini shelving unit, but its kind of annoying because you can only see the front row of colours on each shelf, but normally I use colours based on my mood or a particular nail art design I want to try

    This is such great idea! I love Pinterest for this sort of thing :) To be honest, all of my nail polishes are just hidden away in a draw, with no sense of order, so this would be perfect. Thanks for sharing!

    Much love,

    That's a really good idea. I think salons should do this so you can actually see how the color will look on your nails. It always seems to look different on your hands. :)

    Oh what a great idea! Such a great way to keep everything organized, and I like that you labeled them too. Wish I had this many nail polishes! Haha.

    Always,

    Wow! That is a lot of nail varnishes. I would paint each nail different all the time if I had that many colours! I love this idea, such a good way to organise them!
