Misfit Manicure: Crème De Menthe...

Color: Re-Fresh Mint by China Glaze

I was being lazy and I just painted my nails a solid color. I don't think the picture does the color justice, it is actually a really nice mint candy color.

Misfit Manicure: Royal Silver...

Colors: Dating a Royal by OPI & Silver Mist by Nubar
Konad Image Plate: M64

If you know anything about using Konad you know that you are supposed to use their special nail polish and that most other nail polishes don't really work well with the stamping system. I have found that Silver Mist by Nubar works extremely well with it. I don't know if it is true for all Nubar colors because I only own the one color, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Makeup Storage...

Being super dorky I use two old card catalog cabinets* to store all of my makeup. It makes storage and separation really easy and I always know where various things are, unless my sister has taken something from it.

The double cabinet contains my everyday makeup, while the fifteen draw cabinet contains various makeup/grooming odds and ends. I store my makeup brushes in a glass container with glass beads inside of it and my makeup palettes are held up in a letter holder. For the time being my nail polish collection is being stored in three plastic boxes separated by brand (mainly OPI, Orly and China Glaze) with some additional brands mixed in.

* I bought both card catalog cabinets from the library that I work at. They were the only two surviving cabinets left in the building.

I purchased all items mentioned with my own money. My opinions have not been sponsored or solicited by anyone, but if you wanna send me free stuff I'd totally take it, try it & give you my honest opinion of it.
