So the 1st step in any program is admitting we have a problem ! Now Ladies I know I am not the only one guilty of this. I have an INSANE amount of Nail Polishes. So much so that I either forgot I had a certain color or haven't even had the chance to use it yet. Now if you have followed me for a while you know I am an organizing queen and I needed to find a better way of knowing what colors I had and what not.
Now the main thing for me was creating an Excel Spread Sheet on them . I know I know OCD I know. But can I tell you that in 2 instances it has helped me prevent myself from repurchasing a color I already have. I have them on my phone so when I see a color I like I just double check if it looks like one I may already have. Now I don't know about you all but I tend to gravitate towards the same color schemes all the times just maybe a shade or too off .
Another Issue for me was swatching. Nothing is worse than going to do your nails and you see a color you love and looks great in the bottle , but when it goes on your nails its a completely different color!!
So this was my Solution after some googling and you tubing of course ha ha :
I went to my Local Sally's Beauty Supply Store and picked up a few Nail Polish Wheels.
Now I tried to number them as best as I could for you all but because I had originally written on them before editing it may be a little hard to see the number with my writing peeking underneath so sorry in advance!
Also FYI All of the Nails have 2 Coats Makes a HUGE DIfference in Final Color Payoff!

i cant wait for your love and beauty swatches <3 im thinking about getting some of their polishes. how's the consistency & application?
Thanks for stoppin by. The costistency is a bit sheer but after 2 coats not so bad. I have a few swatches up on the top on the wheels
We have very similar taste in polishes. You have a great collection. Zoya Perrie is actually one of my favorite colors.
Really awesome collection and such a fantastic post! I don't have this many but I have been wanting to get some of those wheel thingies! I love your organization tips. Keep them coming, PLEASE!
I just came across your blog!! What an awesome way to organize your nail polish...I love it! Great blog!! =D
@MsPrettyFul Girl Thanks Hun It is so much better to see the color this way i think . The wheels are affordable too think it was like $7 for a package of 10 wheels with 18 nails on each wheel .
@Amber I love Zoya polishes they are amazing in colors and applications. I also lack more of certain colors if you noticed Pinks have taken over LOL naturally but want some more browns and golds. I dont own black either bc I dont think my drk complexion looks good in it :-(
@DanisAddiction Thank You so much I love your blog as well!I try to come up with new ideas ya know have to keep the OCD Happy if not I begin to twitch if something isnt organized wahaaa!
I wanted stop by & post my comment even tho we talked via twitter.
But I love all your green shades and I like how organized you are. It's cool that you can always take your own color to the salon. Donyou use nail stamps as well?
Hahaha...I love it...got a teeny bit of OCD myself! ;) I felt like a blog stalker last night...I had to read it alllll! =D I got so many great ideas too!!
@DanisAddiction don't be silly glad you enjoy the blog enjoy chatting also!
@Alicia I do use Stamps as well the Konad I havent in a bit because I had my nails short for a bit but they are growing out so will be posting some more soon!
u r awesummmm....
Just found your blog through Beauty Broadcast and I must say you're my hero! LOL. I love your system for your polishes, I too have just gotten SO MANY lately that I started my own excel spread sheet for them but your idea of putting them in CD cases is genius! Though I don't know about gluing them there as I like to have "nail polish" parties with my friends and they always want to see what they look like on them before they try it on.
Thanks for the awesome idea. :)
@ Pavani Thank You your too sweet!
@ Carolina Well heres another Option maybe drill a hole in the center of the wheel and put something like a key ring, or a big ring to hold them all together so that you dont have to feel confined to the CD case .
I have to admit I am really impressed!! This is really amazing...I loved the Orly Va Va Voom...but I love many more...you know what wouldve bee cool as well?? to actually put them from dark to lighter shades, next to each other so you could actually see thier differences better, cause there a some that look exactly alike even though they are not, and maybe putting them next to each other is actually easier to notice...GREAT POST! com check out my blog I am actually gonna post a new nail polish i bought !

Thanks for the love. Yea think that was a good idea wish i could have been able to label the wheels w each polish color too gets hard figuring out what color is what on there. Its a learning process i suppose. Def will check out your blog too xoxox
