Silly Konad! Nails Inc Brook St and Ikea Helmer

At first, this afternoon, I was going to do a nice, grown up, pretty Konad. But then I changed my mind...

THE CLAAAWWWW!!!



What I used:
  • Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
  • Nails Inc Brook St (2 coats)
  • Konad M59, M79, Q1
  • Konad Special Polish in White, Blue, Yellow, Black and Red
  • Nails Inc Albert Bridge topcoat

I painted the rainbow using a cocktail stick, and Konad special polish. I'm pretty sure I should have at least tried to put the colours in the right order (being a dispensing optician...) but oh well. It's not perfect, but it's my first go.

Oh, and look what arrived today:

 
Ikea Helmer

Jessica Cosmetics Hologram Chic Duo l-r:Disco Diva, Retro Revival


I bought the Helmer after seeing various other people have found it useful for polish storage, and I'm glad I did! I had forgotten how much I hate flatpack furniture, but after a slight struggle with some basic instructions, I got it together.

Here's how I've used it so far:


Drawer 1 - topcoats, basecoats, stamping/Konad equipment

Drawer 2 - Blues and Greens

Drawer 3 - Pinks, Reds, Purples

Drawer 4 - Silvers, Golds, Greys
 
Drawer 5 - Files, polish remover, cotton pads etc


I'm really pleased with it. I can finally stop storing everything in a cardboard box. At this point, my collection is reasonably small so I've left the polishes laying down so I can see all my colours. Drawer 6 is still empty and you can imagine how many polishes would fit if they were all standing. I have a sneaking suspicion that all this space will just encourage me to buy more though...


What do you think?

  1. Love the design of your nails. Especially the bows, they look so professional.

    The storage seems like a brilliant idea, I was amazed with the amount of varinshes you have.
