Hello there lovely readers!
Now I'm sure it comes as no surprise
when I admit that I own...um...quite a FAIR amount of nail polishes
O_o Especially when little situations like the above occur often! ;)
And I'll confess that it has come to a stage where I find myself
reusing a lot of the same polishes thus leaving many unloved! So I
decided to create my own little Polish Swatch Book in which I'll
swatch all new polishes I add to my collection so that I know what I
have & can give the more unloved ones some proper usage! First I
needed a pretty swatch book, naturally ;) This I picked up from WH Smith, I
adore the design!
I got this fab idea from the Youtube
nail guru that is CutePolish, who is one seriously talented lady, if
you haven't checked her videos where have you been?! Anyhoos she
shared this utterly brilliant idea of a polish swatch book & I
knew this would be the perfect solution for me. Having all of my
polishes swatched on paper would make it much easier to pick shades
for my manis.
I mean I know that I probably own
dozens of different types of red & the task of sifting through
all of them to find THE perfect one for a mani is a daunting one to
say the least! This way, I can now sift through the book & find
the perfect polish I need plus it also makes it easier to remember
what I used last. So I can sift through the book a bit further till I
find another polish that could work well too!
I can squeeze about 10 -14 polish
swatches per page & made sure of course to note down the brand,
polish name as well as where it can be located! As you can see I've
done some of my Barry M & KIKO's etc...but there's still a fair
few to go! Haha! ;)
Thanks Cute Polish for the fab idea!
Now hopefully all the polishes I own can get equal usage! Thanks as
always for reading lovelies!
Lotsa love to ya!
This is such an awesome idea! I wonder if it works well with those binder clear sheet protectors as I have so many and polishes too! Thanks for sharing!
