My fabric stash is one of the loves of my life, but another of them is my nail polish stash. I have - well - a lot. My favorite brand is OPI but I am also addicted to Essie, Orly, and Deborah Lippman. And I tend to organize them just like my fabric stash - in rubbermaid systems and color coded of course.
This is one (yes, only one) of my polish containers that houses *most* of my OPI collection.
And color coding them like I do my fabric is just a given.
I love painting my nails. It is another creative outlet for me just like quilting is, but gives into my desire for instant gratification much more than making a throw sized quilt does. It allows me to play with color, texture, and lines in about 30 minutes.
This is my current manicure (which for me lasts about 2 days before I redo them because I have thought of another combo I would love to try!) inspired by this image on Pintrest.
Essie Topless & Barefoot, Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me, Seche Vite base coat and top coat (seriously the best top coat EVER! It makes your nails dry so much faster, and dries like glass leaving your nails with that wet glossy shine for days.)
Try it the next the time you are choosing quilt colors! It's a fun way to combine colors and accessorize all at the same time!
Oh and here are some of my favorite nail art blogs if you want to check them out for some ideas/tutorials/color swatches!
