Nail Polish (and some bath products) Storage

Today seems to be the most boring Saturday ever!! *sigh* Anyway, in today's post I am showing you how I store my nail polishes and some of my bath products. Currently, I store them in a 4 drawer plastic storage bin that has wheels and I keep it in my closet. The first drawer, which I have not posted a picture of, has a bunch of different things inside: washcloths, Q-tips, some makeup and whatever else I could fit in there.

This is the second drawer where I keep some bath products. There is some LUSH bath bombs, bubble bars and massage bars. There is also some Fortune Cookie Soap products, Yester Year Soap products and another company's soap which I will be posting about in the near future! I also keep my extra PocketBacs in this drawer as well.

In the third drawer I keep my manicure tools, nail art supplies and some nail polish. There are files, clippers, pure acetone, hand scrubs, hand creams, cuticle removers, nail polish thinner, dotting tools, fimo slices, rhinestones, etc. I organize my nail polish by color. This drawer has yellow, orange, tan, white, gold, silver, gray and black. I also keep various top coats and base coats here.

The bottom drawer contains the bulk of my nail polish. There are various shades of red, pink, blue, purple, and green. For someone that doesn't really like red nail polish I sure do have a lot of it!

I am thinking that this is just going to be my temporary storage and I will probably be purchasing wall mounted nail display racks. I am probably going to have to convince my parents on that one because they don't really like putting holes in the walls lol!

I have updated my nail polish stash page so click the link on the top of the page to check it out!

Small Bath and Body Works (BBW) Haul and Update

This haul is definitely long over due! I bought this stuff a few weeks ago but never got around to posting it up. I went into Bath and Body Works to pick up my free gift for the month of February and also purchased a few PocketBacs.

How cute are these PocketBacs?!

The free gift for February was a free travel sized lotion, shower gel and body spray. I chose Japanese Cherry Blosson body spray, Coconut Lime Verbena shower gel and lotion.


Hope you guys enjoyed this mini haul!

I just want to give you guys a little update on what is to come. I have tons of posts planned over the next month so definitely stay tuned for that.

Also, I have been gaining followers lately and I want to thank you all for following, reading and commenting my blog. I get so excited when I get new followers and comments because I really do appreciate everyone taking the time out of their day to visit my blog.

I am gearing up for a giveaway in the coming weeks so keep an eye out!

Feeling Lucky!

Lately I have been winning a few online giveaways from a few different companies. Am I lucky or what? I have never been much of a lucky person but lately it seems my "luck" has been turning around!

Below are two prizes I have won from FortuneCookieSoap.com ! I won them during their BlogTV contests a few weeks back. Add them on Facebook and Twitter to keep updated on their promotions, sales and new products!

Pink Watermelon Gelato Bath Bomb:

Cherry Limeade Bar Soap:

Cover Girl Crackle Polish

I finally found those Cover Girl 2 per pack nail polishes at Dollar Tree. I will show you all my complete haul in my next post but for now I will show you my favorite polish out of the bunch! I was so excited to get these packs and even more excited to see they had some Crackle nail polishes. I have been waiting for Sally's Beauty to get the China Glaze Crackle polishes. I will love this Cover Girl crackle polish as if it is my first born baby! (OK, maybe not but you get the idea!) Plus, from the swatches I have seen of the China Glaze crackles, I much prefer the crackle effect of the old school Cover Girl version!

There was only one shade of the Crackle nail polish in the packs I searched through, which is the one in the above manicure. It is called Boo! I am a little confused about what the color of this nail polish actually is. I mean, when I look at the bottle at different angles I see emerald green and a deep purple. In the pictures above the bottle looks to be a dark navy blue. When applied to the nail, the polish looks black! *shrugs*

I layered a thin coat of Cover Girl Boo! over Maybelline English Toffee, a pink coral shade (another old school polish from my haul). I made sure not to apply it thick or go over any of the crackle polish I had already painted. I began to see it crackle within 15 seconds and it completely crackled within 40-50 seconds. A top coat was definitely needed, otherwise the crackle polish who have just came right off.

Do you have any of these old school Cover Girl Crackle polishes? What do you think of them?

Spotlight and LUSH Frog Prince

A little while ago I entered into moondog1997 YouTube contest to win a LUSH Frog Prince bath bomb. Well, guess what? I WON! I was very excited because as I stated in a previous post, my local LUSH closed down and I haven't had a chance or the funds to go to another LUSH to buy the Valentine's Day products.

Before I show you my prize, I want to tell you a little about moondog1997. This YouTube channel is run by two sisters who have a strong love for LUSH! The older sister (sorry I don't know her name!) does all the technical stuff including filming, editing and posting the videos. Elisabeth, the younger sister, does all the reviews, bath cocktails and demonstrations on film!

My prize came wrapped up so cute in red tissue paper with adorable stickers! I was so glad that it arrived in one piece. I will be reviewing this in an upcoming post with a possible demo. Just wanted to give you guys a peek at him!

Zoya Valerie

This is Zoya Valerie. Isn't she a beaut? She applies beautifully as well! Zoya Valerie is opaque in one coat but I applied two to make me feel comfortable LOL. I wish I could capture the deep purple shimmer with orange under tones a little better (like I said I am working on it!). For the accent nail I applied a simple design with Jennifer "Gold" with a nail art brush.
