Stash pictures

Since my NOTD is one that I have already showed you, (ChG Recycle, you can see it here.) I decided to show you my stash.  I keep everything in the bathroom linen closet, since I don't have a spare room to use.


The clear box and the blue crate are my polishes.  Here is a close up of the clear box:


This is mainly China Glaze, with a few OPI, a Zoya, and an Orly thrown in.  I also keep my SV and Restore in here.  (In case you were wondering what the writing on the box says, it says Scrapbook Stuff- I stole the box from my scrapbook stash, LOL!)

Here is a close up of the blue crate:


This has everything else- Rimmel, Cover Girl, Milani, Loreal, etc....   when I first got into polish, my entire stash took up maybe a third of this!!  I counted after I took these pictures- not counting base and top coats, I have 75 polishes!!  I know that isn't much compared to some of y'all, but I started with less than 10 in November...   I need to find more storage, I have more coming from 2 contests I won.  I am not ready for a helmer (nor do I really have room for one) so I am not sure what i am going to use yet.

Anyway, Happy Earth Day, everyone!!

Until Later,

Sigh, Orly hates me.....

I did my nails with Orly Fantasea, and it decided to slide right off my nails!!  Eep!!  I don't know if I didn't wait long enough in between coats, if it didn't like my base coat (sv base) or the formula just hates me....  I managed to get a couple of crappy pics of my right hand before I removed, so here you go.

This is 2 coats of Fantasea over 1 coat ChG Awaken.



I decided to use one of the Go Natural polishes I swatched for you here.  This is 3 coats Midnight Skies. I totally cancelled out the non-toxic part by using SV top coat, LOL!!



I am still not completely happy, but I think I will leave this for a while...  we will see!!

Until Later,
