Introduction to the Collection

I found my camera cord! As such, I was able to upload the photos I had taken of my nail polish collection three days ago. Unfortunately, in those three days I have already picked up six more polishes that won't appear in the swatches on this post. What? Ulta was having a sale! *sigh*  This will still give you a decent idea of what I own, though. I've got plain colors, foils, glass flecks, glitters, holographics, crackles, duochromes, magnetics; basically most things I can get my hands on.

I've also discovered the my beloved little digital camera is just not going to cut it for blog-ready photos, and until I replace it that's all I have. So, please persevere with me as I do my best with a camera that just cannot handle focusing on pretty things and a primitive flash.

First, my entire collection (as of three days ago) without flash: 

And with:

You can see my swatch wheels at the bottom of those photos; I swear by them! It's so much easier to pull out a nail wheel and pick a shade of red than sorting through bottles hoping the color on the nail will be close to the one you're seeing through the glass. I have numbers on each bottle to correspond to the wheel to make it easier to locate each one. I highly recommend it for anyone who lacks enough space to display each bottle well and has to put them away in cases or sadness drawers like I do.

Here's my wheels by color:

Red

 

Orange and Yellow

Golds and Browns

Greens

Blues

Purples

Pink - No flash

Pink - With flash

Silvers and grays

Blacks

Whites

For the record,  I do own top coats and base coats etc, but didn't see a point in swatching them for what I hope are obvious reasons. 

So there you go! If you want to know what a specific color is, ask in the comments and I'll do my best to get back to you.
