All my polishes

Hello :)

Two days ago I decided to swatch all my polishes... what was I thinking about.... OK I have over 400 polishes included also my base and top coats. I know that is not much in comparison to what some of the bloggers I follow has. And to be honest I can't see how I'm going to have time to swatch all my polishes. Sure I have some whites and blacks too but they also need to be swatched. So far I have uploaded two polishes on my instagram and I will continue to upload my polishes in the order I have them in my Helmers.

Here are my Helmers and NO they are not full... One Helmer can have about 400-500 polishes just by itself. You can google "Helmer and nailpolish" and you will understand why nailbloggers kinda LOVE Helmers. 

WHY do I then have 3 Helmers if I have over 400 polishes and that would fit in just ONE Helmer. Well we can call it OCD... I like to have my things in order. Just like I have my books in height order, my CD and DVD's in alphabetic order, I like to have my polishes in brand order. 

The Helmer's contain from left to right top to bottom

Various Polishes ( basically brands that I only have 1 bottle from)
Qtips, toilet paper and Make up pads

Stamping ( plates, scraper, stampers)

Fimo canes, glitter, beads, stripes, sponges

Scissors, files, tools in general

Nail wheels, nail book, packages from polishes

OPI

H&M

Models Own

Primark

essence

IsaDora, Yves Rocher and BarryM

Rimmel, Kiko, Depend and Manhattan

 Maybelline, ciate, Bissu, innisfree, pixi and Viva La Diva

Above my Helmer's I also have this mini shelf where I now have my nail art pens, my removers, my brushes and dotting tools, base and top coats, some nail wraps, hand creams, my caviar beads and my home made sheer tint polishes.

Cat and paws nails inspired by Cutepolish

So last night I took away the other nailpolish I had on my nails and painted this... Today we are going to Stockholm to see Ed Sheeran and I thought this design would fit quite well for the occasion ( Ed has a cat paw tattooed on his arm, the previous CD, +,  was orange and he likes cats...). Yeah I know, it's not like he ever gonna see my nails but I like the design and every time I get the chance to do something I have seen and liked then I take the chance to do it :) 

I started off by painting my nails with a Base coat and then I did french manicure with the black and orange polishes. I did 2 layers so that it was opac. I then took the dotting tool and made the paws on the orange tips. On the black tips, as you can see, I added more black to do the cat face, ears and tail.

This is all the polishes I uses: Ridge Filling Base Coat from Seche, Manhunter from H&M, 02 hello summer! from Essence, 944 Innocent from Sinful Colors, SPA12 Black and SPA02 White from Kiss Nail Art Paint and Dry Fast Top Coat from Seche Vite. And my dotting tool..

A lil pic with the bottles. Manhunter is my favorite black, which I notice yesterday when I painted...it's almost empty :-(

Here is Cutepolish video on how to do this, just follow Sandi's directions and you will be all fine :)

Nail mail from Born Pretty Store

Today my package from Born Pretty Store finally arrived, sooooo happy!! I saw the mailman when he came in his little car and I had to run (like every day) to the big window that faces the street and I saw that it was something bigger in the bundle that he dropped down the mailbox... 

 So this was all the things in the nail mail. Holder for all my stamping plates, 4 plates, 5 dotting tools, stampers and scrapers, hairband and nail art striping tape. 

Here is a close up on the stamping plates that I bought .

The Great Gatsby inspired nails

Actually I started with this post before the last one but I was eager to show you the wraps, BUT here is my nails for this week ( let's see how long time I'm keeping this). 

I think they are very much inspired by The Great Gatsby movie, it must be the gold that makes me think of Leonardo DiCaprio, swinging dresses, ladies with necklaces and endless drinking.

For this mani I used OPI 4 in the morning from the Gwen Stefani collection and My favorite ornament from the Mariah Carey collection. I started off by painting the black polish on 4 of my nails and the gold on my ringfinger. The lines on my pinkie and index finger I painted on without any help, but to the chevrons on my middle finger I did use a Nail Tip Guide (that my mum bought from Oriflame like ages ago). On my thumb I did dots with a doting tool that I bought in Mexico last time I was home.
