21: Nail polish swatches

Hello Beautifuls!

I've spent the last 3 and a half hours painting all of my nail polishes onto clear nail displays. I feel like I'm about to faint soon the fumes are so strong! I feel so bad for my Meeka she's been sleeping on my bed since I started and I think she's in a mini coma right now lol. Anyways the pain is worth it! I wanted to show you guys what the nail polishes look like :) I categorized them into colours but some are super random. I'll post the pictures and underneath the pictures (from left to right) I'll list the names of the polishes and how many coats I used for the swatch to be completely opaque. Just a reminder: it's 1am right now and I took these pictures in my room so the colours might not be spot on. I'll take pictures again tomorrow under the sunshine if it's not raining :)

  5. Hi Kae!

    Those colours are gorgeous aren't they?! The first day I bought them one of my girlfriends made me give her a manicure using DS Exclusive. It's so nice! Yeah I think I'm not going to be swatching anytime soon. I had a huuuge headache and went to bed at 4am lol.

  6. Hi Lucy!

    Thank you you're so sweet :) Yes I'm slowly recuperating from all those fumes. But now that I see all my colours on the display wheel I couldn't be happier xx

  7. I just came across your blog, since I have recently decided to sort out my nail polishes on nail display wheels also. I wanted to write a comment, because I love nail polish just as much as you, and I am jealous of all the beautiful colors you own (OPI collection especially) and my dog's name is Mika lol.
