Until I figure out a suitable way to store my collection, they are living in plastic shoeboxes. I have another round of polishes coming, so more photos ahead!

How do you store your polishes? What are your favorite brands? Where do you hunt for your polishes? Speak up! You can type while your nails are drying ;)

  1. Gosh - I love these 'lil pots of colour, Angel. I can't wear nail polish because I do so much with my hands, it just flakes off faster than warp-speed - but I can live vicariously through you, right??

  2. You might give some of the new base/top coats a try! Granted, I'm not so "labor intensive" anymore but after spending awhile on manicures, I want to make sure they last--and they do, about a week!

    Using Sally Hansen diamond top coat, 2 layers. So far so good!

    And of course you can live vicariously thru me ;) So thrilled you stopped by!! xoxo

  3. I could try that! I've got various base coats and things somewhere in the drawer.. Lately I just paint my toes! I wish I lived closer, we could have a cuppa and chat. Take care xx

  4. That would be awesome to spend time together!

    Do you have a webcam? I hope to get one soon, it wouldn't be quite the same but we could still chat and drink (I'll have tea LOL). And my sleep is crazy anyway so time zones are no challenge.

  7. I am pretty sure you can download skype for Mac and it would work. I hope so! I am a Windows girl, sorry LOL. If I ever got really serious about graphic arts then I would get a mac. I know my daughter was infatuated with them when she was doing video/sound mixing for her school's "tv program"

    We'll find a way ;)
