"Super" Beachy

As I said in my beach bag post, I was in San Diego last week, of coarse I picked a beachy nail polish to bring along with me so I could do my nails.

I decided to bring Superhero by: Del Sol

If you aren't familiar with these polishes, they change colors in the sunlight. Superhero changes from this Cinderella blue to a lavander color. It is so cool to watch.

 You can't see it that well but in the picture below this is the purple that it changes to.

Orange & Gold

I am loving this combination!

Cover Girl Boundless Colors Polish: Candy Corn

e.l.f. Polish: Starlight

Clear Glitter!

Do you remember my glitter nails? Or just painting all of your nails the same but leaving one nail different?

I thought this picture was the perfect combination of both. I love the clear glitter and  the effect it leaves on the nail. SO GORGEOUS! Well you guys know how my nails will be looking soon!

DYI Nail Polish Rack

I have been wanting a nail polish rack for a really long time but they are SO expensive so I was going to get a spice rack to put my nail polishes on because my collection isn't that big but I want to expand it so I decided to just make one. It only took about an hour and a half and it was under $5!

All you need is two foam boards, a hot glue gun, a pencil, a ruler and something I forgot to put in the picture is a blade.

First I measured how big I wanted my board to be so I used a blade and cut it to the right size. Then I used the extra 4 and 1/2 inches to cut 2 inch long pieces that would be the sides.

Then I drew lines 4 inches apart to mark where the shelves would be glued.

Then on the other board I did the same thing that I did to the other one, I just cut 4 and 1/2 inches of the board.

Then I measured out what would be 2 inch wide pieces of board that would be the shelves of the nail polish rack.

I learned with my first cut that I made, I am not good with a blade!

So that resulted in doctoring the jagged cuts up with some white duct tape. It actually didn't turn as tacky as I thought! I wish the cut would have turned out cleaner but I like this alternative.

Then I put hot glue on each shelf and then put it on the lines that I had previously drawn so by the end all of the shelves were evenly spaced 4 inches apart

(Ignore the bubbles in the duct tape, I took care of those later)

 

I was really parinoid about the shelves being really strong so I just applied Gorilla Glue to each side of the shelves.

AND TA DA! Finished in under $5!

Now all I need to do is buy more polish!!

Your Opinion: Polish Talk!

I am kind of  OCD about when I change my nail polish. When ever it starts to chip bad enough that I can't just touch it up I take it off and put a new color on. Last week I changed them 3 times before the week was over. My friends say that it's crazy but that they like seeing my different nails. How often do you change your polishes?

Plus look at this idea to put your nail polishes on a spice rack. I think that it is really cute and a lot less expensive than buying nail polish organizers. What do you think?

Getting Crafty

 This was so easy to do and also, so inexpensive. All I did was bought vile of craft glitter at the store. Then I put a light coat of blue nail polish on a nail. Then I stuck my hand in a box and shook glitter on the finger that had the wet polish. Then you lightly press the glitter onto your nails so it is somewhat smooth. Repeat until you have done each finger. After each finger is done you can either repeat this process or add a clear coat to finish them off and you are all set!
