Swatch Time!

This past week I did my nail wheels over again because my old ones were not very organized and when I wanted to do a comparisons it was hard because they weren't on the same nail wheel like they should be.
I wanted to compare OPI Unripened and Sinful colors What's your name/Love bite (this 2 name thing is very annoying!). I had seen a swatch of Sinful colors What's your name/Love bite at Dollface's blog  which was my 1st follower yay Thanks Dollface your a doll lol!! OK back to business the swatch looked really similar to OPI Unripened which I loved but hated that it only came in a mini bottle so I thought I could just go buy the sinful colors version instead of buying the full size promotional bottle for 7x the price. So here's the swatch (by the way taking pictures that show that real color of the polish is extremely hard)

MY FIRST SWATCH PICTURE

#1 OPI Unripened
#2 Lippmann collection Bad Romance
#3 Sinful colors What's your name/Love bite
# Sinful Colors Secret Admirer/Full moon

As you can see Unripened has alot more teal shimmer then Sinful colors does but it still a dupe. I am not going to buy the promotional bottle instead I might buy some teal glitter and mix it in to the sinful color polish if that doesn't work out Thanks to Dollface's swatches I might even buy China Glaze Blk-Bila-Bong. 

Carrying Case

I travel with my nail polish stuff all the time to peoples houses, work and back home. At one point in the beginning of my obsession I use to be able to fit all my supplies and nail polishes in this Caboodles carrying case i got from Target. It had many side pockets and a place to put my strippers, dotting tools and brushes so it was perfect. After about a month nothing ever fit anymore so it was time to look for another carrying case. I searched high and low and I could not find something that would work for me till I came across The O.P.I. Train Case. I had seen this online so I was determined to find it. I searched on amazon, google shopping and I finally found it on eBay by 2 different buyers I of course bought the cheaper listing. Here is what i used before and after....


I didn't have for long that's why the tag is still on it I'm debating
on keeping it or returning it.

I use to fit almost 50 polishes in here as well as my konad plates, implements, nails wheels ect..
There is 7 expandable side pockets, 4 pen like pockets and 2 elastic bands where you could hold top coats.

Here is the top lids I kept my stripers on the right where the bands are wider
 and dotting tool/brushes on the left.

Here is the beautiful OPI train case!! I love the design!
This train case has to compartments

The top has 32 compartments for polishes. It fits all size polishes I of course fit more then 32 by putting my strippers upside down and I fit 3 in each slot.
The bottom is divided in 3 sections. They are very wide and spacious I can fit all my tools and supplies without a problem.

I absolutely love this train case one negative thing is that after its loaded it is extremely heavy so I might just keep the smaller Caboodles one to take when I don't need that much stuff. Ok till next time!


Last weeks haul.

This past week I've acquired many thing that i had on my wish list and a couple of things I just could pass on.

Nail Polish Rack!

So my nail polish collection grew drastically over the past couple of months. I use to be able to keep my nail polishes in makeup bags but not they wont even fit on a counter top or drawer. I did some research and the best thing to keep them together and organized is by getting a nail polish rack. I found a bunch of them online but they were pretty pricey as well as a lot of them need to be mounted to the wall. For any other person that wouldn't be a problem but in my case that would be very unsafe to store them. I have really thin walls and 90 polishes on the wall is asking for a disaster. So I decided to get a nail polish rack that sits on a table but yet again they were pricey and didn't hold that many. I then continued my research and saw that you could use a spice rack for nail polishes. I went to my local Marshalls and picked up a spice rack for $4.99 took it some added some cardboard and decorated it. This is the final product which I am really happy with managed to more then half of my collection for cheap!






67 Nail polishes!!!!!!
