In other news, I bought more nail polish. *hangs head* I know I don't NEED any more! But there are always so many great colors. It is really amazing that manufacturers continue to not DUPLICATE a color. In my defense, I did go through all my polish this weekend and the ones I didn't like, I threw out. Most of them were top/base coats I have tried and not liked. There were a couple colors where I didn't LOVE the color and the formula wasn't great and I hadn't used it in over a year...so buh-bye!
So this is NOT a good representation of my nail polish collection:
I made this storage thing ALL BY MYSELF - no for real. The Husband only supervised, and by that I mean checked on it periodically to tell me to do something different. He even made me hang it with anchors and hole drilling and everything on my own! so proud =)
This shelf is at least half full already, if not more. I have a problem. The Husband laughed at me last night when I had this realization but it's all good! He doesn't mind =) It is part of me taking care of myself and LOOKING/SEEMING put together all the time...or the majority of the time lol.
You will remember this storage from last summer:
Yeah - also completely full. and a couple of colors have been tossed - two on the far left top shelf, two on the bottom shelf, and I think one of the reds from the middle shelf. No seriously - this thing is FULL! Now you may not think this is a whole lot and comparatively it isn't, but for me - it has grown leaps and bounds in just a few short months!
Anyhow if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have MORE nail polish that was delivered to me via UPS yesterday!
Yes - FIVE more - but four of them are minis...that makes it better right? RIGHT! haha! Anyhow because of the persistent rain, I will likely be spending my lunch painting my nails. Oh and the color I have on in the picture above is Essie - The Girls are Out from the Summer 2013 collection. The four colors in the top half of the above picture are from the same collection so I hope the formula is just as good - I know Essie's can sometimes be iffy but I was really pleased with The Girls are Out. =)
Oh and I may or may not have bought a neon from Walgreens yesterday. It is from Sinful Color's Poolside Collection: 24/7 and is apparently a dupe for China Glaze Pool Party. I couldn't pass it up - I have been looking for a great lighter pink neon and I instantly fell in love. The formula seems good so I can't wait to try that one out! Probably for one of our upcoming beach trips =)
So new rule - i'm sharing it with you so I can be held accountable -
No More New Polish Until I Use Everything I Have Once
The Husband will appreciate that rule
OH and I asked The Husband to text me pictures of my collection so I can update you and you can see just how much of a problem this has become in such a short time haha!
What do you love to buy?
Are you a polish-aholic?
