DIY: Nail Polish Display Wall Rack Less Than $4

Hello Lovelies!!

Late last year I began a new nail polish collection which consists of different brands.  I used to store them in mini organizer trays, but since my collection has grown, I had to come up with a new storage method.  I turned to YouTube, one of my virtual best friends, Ha!   I searched for different tutorials on do it yourself nail racks.  I finally found one that I was pleased with and decided to give it a try.  In stores, the Acrylic Nail Polish Racks start around $30 for a rack that can hold at least 96 bottles of polish.  Being the crafty person that I am, I wanted to do it myself as well as save some extra MOOLAH.

The rack I made cost me less than $4!!  Yep that's right...less than 4 bucks.   It holds 90+ bottles of nail polish and it is very sturdy.  Check it out below and let me know what you think!

P.S.  I might have to make another one because the collection is still growing.

I've Got My Stripes

Hello Loves!
I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.
My current nail design is inspired by a beautifully striped shirt that is so on time for the spring season.  The colors in the shirt remind me of a bowl of Starburst and Jolly Ranchers.   To create this look, I started off with a base coat/bonder to protect my nail from staining as well as to bond the layering nail colors to my nail.




 Colors Used:
L-R:  10 Prof. Lacquer "Moonlight", Klean Color "Blue Mania", L.A. Colors "Yellow", Sinful Colors "Courtney Orange", Klean Color "Green Grass", and Klean Color "Beach Blue"







Remember to let your nails dry before you add any layering colors to prevent bubbling.  Also, finish off the look with a top coat to seal in your work.

 Until Next Time,

"Mardi Gras in the Nude"

Hello Lovelies!
I want to share my latest nail color and design with you all. 

To create this look, I applied a bonder base coat to clean nails.  I then applied two coats of  "Moon Light"  to each of my nails with the exception of the ring fingers.  I allowed the polish to dry in between each coat.  I then created a half moon starting from my cuticle to the middle of my ring fingers with Revlon's "Gold Coin" polish. Next, I applied "Green Grass" to half of the remaining unpolished portion of my nail and then applied "Purple" to the other half.  Once all three colors dried, I used "Black Sparkles" art deco brush to outline the areas where the 3 colored edges meet.  Once all of the polishes were completely dry, I applied a top coat to seal my work.

Colors from L to R: Moonlight (10 Professional Nail Lacquer), Purple (Klean Color Nail Lacquer), Green Grass (Klean Color Nail Lacquer), Black Sparkles (L.A. Colors Art Deco), and Gold Coin (Revlon)
Let me know what you think!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  I purchased about 8 colors by "10 Professional Nail Lacquer" from CVS.  They were all 75% off!  This brand is awesome.  My fingernail colors never last more than 1.5 to 2 days without any chipping in sight.  With this brand, I get at least 3.5 to 4 good days  out of it before my nails show any wear.  This is a HUGE improvement in a polish for me.  Have you tried this brand?

Take Care and Until Next Time,
