This is what I've been doing for the last few weeks in my spare time. I've been swatching my polishes onto sticks and labelling them so I can see quickly what I have and what will go with what. It also helped me identify any dupes that I had but didn't realise I had.
Problem was that silly me only ordered 100 sticks and honestly I thought that would be plenty. I severely underestimated how many polishes I have so I have now ordered another 150 sticks and hopefully that will be enough for me to swatch the rest. I just found these on ebay and also got the stainless steel cable wire keyrings from ebay too.
I have them separated into their colour groups on the wire keyrings.
I also found this helpful to match indies/glitters/top coats etc to a base colour.
Thanks for reading

It's so organized! I would want to carry them around to look at them all the time.
ReplyDeleteYes I really needed to get organised. I had such a mess going on here. They are nice to look at all the pretty colours together.
DeleteCan you please post a link to the seller you purchased these from, I really love the idea of being able to test out glitter top coats without wasting more polish on a separate swatch wheel :)
ReplyDeleteOk I'll try. Hopefully these links work. First one for sticks, second for wire.

Wow what a great idea! I may have to borrow it. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the swatch sticks. Do you think you could tell where you purchase them from? Also, where do you get the wire rings? They look pretty and so easy to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch.
It's all from eBay. I just searched for nail display sticks then for wire rings but I have been told you can sometimes get the wire rings from newsagents.
