My New Konad Image Plate Holder!

I always feel unorganized and out of sorts after an exam and have the urge to clean and organize my life. I've been working on doing a better job with my polish collection. I purchased another Melmer, but I still feel like the walls are caving in on me with nail polish. I guess some would call that a beautiful nightmare :)

So I was browsing through Target today and found this in the office section for 5 bucks. It's a mini-organizer rotating device. I thought this would be perfect to store my growing image plate collection.

I was using these plastic storage containers and separated them by Konad, Fauxnad, Delaney & Bundle Monster.


At first I was a little worried because the holder was a lot bigger than it looked in the store. Have you ever purchased a TV in-store and then get home and realize its huge! That's how I felt when I put my little image plates and polishes inside. They just sank to the bottom.



After a while I found the, almost, perfect solution to my sinking issue: two polar bear nail buffers (ha ha). They elevated the polishes to the perfect level.


And here's the result. I love my new little device. I feel more organized now and I can easily sort through the image plates to find the ones that I need.

What are you using for storage? Do you think you would like this gadget?

Sinful Colors Green Ocean

Just a quick post as I am studying extremely hard for a Chemistry exam. Please wish me luck!

Polish - Sinful Colors Green Ocean. Base color - Ulta Glam Goth Collection - Underground.

Underground is amazing on it's on, but it's fire (or shall I say water) underneath Green Ocean. This is my only polish from the SC flakies and I really like. Can't beat a great flakie for almost less than $2!



Hope you're having a great week!

OPI Katy Perry Not Like The Movies Swatch + Black Shatter

Not Like the Movies is a green and purple duochrome that looks great in the bottle but it didn't have the same effect on my nails. I didn't see any of the green and hardly any of the purple that looks so amazing in the bottle. It looks more like a gray frost on my nails. It does however look amazing under the Shatter Polish.


Here you can really see the purple come to life and hints of the tiny glitter. This is my favorite Shatter + Katy Perry combination.

The One That Got Away also looks great underneath Shatter. If you missed it you can check it out here.

Thanks for stopping by!

OPI Katy Perry The One That Got Away + Black Shatter

The One that Got Away didn't get away from me! I was so happy to find these at JcPenney's after the long wait over the Holiday. This is my favorite from the collection. It's a gorgeous wine colored polish with shimmer added.



Here she is with Black Shatter on top. I'm not sure if this looks so good on me. I mean, I've seen it look great on other hands but I think it brings out my flaws. This is definitely a head turner though.

No Topcoat

Top Coat added

I also got the other 3 polishes from the collection. I'll post more swatches soon!

Michael Jackson Manicure

Here's the Michael Jackson mani I promised. It almost didn't happen because my little angel had a fever and demanded that I do her nails first. So I did a super fast mani using Chez-Delaney 08 & 09. The glitter is China Glaze Fairy Dust and Nicole by OPI Scandal Secrets & Sparkle (gray). Hope you like it.

Lace and Flowers

I didn't get a chance to do a MJ mani, but here's one I did last week. I almost forgot about it until I saw Parokeets post.

For stamping I used image plate M57 with Fauxnad A01 Flowers. The polish is Carolyn New York Castle Hill.


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend :)
