Trust and Love No Man Nail Art

This design is just for fun.  It is not my best design but it did come out cute.  For my ring, middle, and index fingers, I did a ombre effect using an eye shadow applicator.  For my thumb and pinky I decided to use crackle polish to give a representation of "broken love" to fit in with the theme of the design.  I am not saying to hate men or to not love them, but they do have their moments when they are PMSing or just being complete assholes.  ;)

•Thumb and pinky:  

China Glaze Dance Baby 

OPI Pink Shatter

Heart shape stones and big silver and light pink stones

My Nail Polish and Make-up Collection

Today I am sharing my nail polish and make-up collection.  I am not trying to show off in any way or claiming I have the “best” or “biggest” collection of cosmetics or lacquer.  This is merely for fun and I am proud of what I own.  Honestly, I don't think I own that much.  Plus, this is my 100^th blog post so why not post something fun and worth looking at? ;)

So lets start with my makeup.  I went to Big Lots and purchased a plastic seven drawer unit to organize everything efficiently.

Lipsticks

Lip glosses, lip stains and lip liners

 Mascaras, gel and liquid liner, lashes, primers and go to items

Foundation, powder, highlights and blushes

Nail wheels, nail book and Color Club Foiled 

Cream shadows and pencils

(colored shadow bases)

Eye shadow singles, duos, trios, quads, ect.

In a separate plastic three drawer unit in my closet I keep my palettes.

UD Naked, Sephora Blockbuster 2010 and 2012 versions, Inglot and Ed Hardy

For my eyeliners, I keep them in a metal magnetic pencil holder.  The shelf in my closet in made out of metal so its hung up there.  I have a lot of eyeliner pencils ranging in all colors of the rainbow.  

My brushes to the left are my eye brushes and are stored in an Estee Lauder make-up brush travel container.  The brushes on the right are my face brushes and those are stored in an Ed Hardy pop can holder.

OK, now for my nail polish.  Nothing brings me more joy than nail polish.  I am always up for a conversation about nail polish; Everyday I search the net for latest updates and releases, so I am aware of who is releasing what collection.  I also like going out to multiple stores to find certain colors and deals.  My collection is some what organized by brand.  As long as every bottle is accounted for, and I know where the bottle is, finding a certain one isn't extremely hard.  Since I buy polish often, I out grew the organization, which resulted, having me mixing brands.

I store everything in perfume boxes, white plastic baskets and shoe boxes in my closet.
