DIY Nail Varnish Storage

Hello again!

Recently I've been getting so frustrated about all my nail varnish collection. Until now it's been disorganised  in an old shoebox, and I was finding it difficult to find the colour I actually wanted.

So whilst I was procrastinating on Pintrest, I came across this great idea as a way to store nail varnishes neatly.

(btw, the ones in my box without colours on are either top coats, base coats or nail caviar.)

Here's what you will need:

  • Hole punch
  • Nail Varnish
  • Dotting Tool / cocktail stick / tooth pick
  • White stickers
  • Cute box (or decorate)

Firstly you will need to take your white stickers and hole punch them to stick on the top of the nail varnish. This will help the colour of the nail varnish be bold.


Using the dotting tool, take a small amount the nail varnish and dot it onto the sticker.

Leave it to dry and then place in your beautiful box (I got mine from a stationary shop, alternatively you could use pretty wrapping to line your box!). 


So far I'm loving being able to see all my polishes arranged so neatly and I find it so satisfying (sad I know!). I hope you find this post useful and maybe inspire you to have a sort your nail varnishes (and life!) out.


Goodbye!

Happy New Year! - 3 Words

Happy New Year! - 3 Words

Hello again!

Firstly I want to say a rather late Merry Christmas; I hope you all had a great day with family, irrelevant of your beliefs! I actually spent new year in Gozo, Malta in an amazing house in the hills (expect a blog post about Malta soon).

The last year has been a tough one to me for many reasons, but I'm so excited to start a fresh; and leave certain people behind. This year I really want to stay positive, because last year I found it difficult to keep smiling with my head up.

Instead of making cliché 'New Year's Resolutions' I've decided to choose three words to focus on, and use as a reminder of how  I actually want to live my life.

THANK- Be thankful for everything and everyone in life and make sure they know how much they mean to you.

LIVE- Enjoy everything and say 'yes' to opportunities that you might not previously accepted, if you know you will benefit from them in the future.

MOTIVATE- I think it's so important to enjoy what you're doing, but if it's something that you understandably don't enjoy (eg. work) try and see the positives in it to help you push through and achieve. This year I feel I must motivate, encourage and compliment those around me more often too.


I wish you all the best for the new year in health and happiness, and don't forget to appreciate the world around you.

Goodbye!

Hannah
