Maybe I should've thought twice about getting the pink raindrops! (I normally never where pink on my nails). But this is actually very beautiful!

Thanks so much for sharing this! I just re-swatched all my polishes onto these nail sticks and, while I prefer them over the wheels, that long screw is a pain when trying to manage them.
SUCCESS! I've been wanting a new way to display my nail sticks since I first got them. They come with a a long screw that makes them easy to handle and keep together, but you have to remove all of the previous sticks if you want to rearrange their order. I wanted something round, light and easier to switch out colors. I went to Staples and picked up a pack of loose binder rings. They had 1", 1.5" and 2" available. I opted for the 1.5" size and the nail sticks fit perfectly. The only thing is I don't want to overload the ring with too many sticks or they will spread out in a weird way. There also needs to be enough room left to open the ring. I'm going back tomorrow to get the 2" size for my larger collections. At first I was going to organize my nail sticks by color. Now I think I want to keep them by brand. I currently have them organized by brand until I get my label maker. It's the only way I can tell the colors apart. I'll figure it out after I get my label maker. The only reason I don't have one yet is because the prices increased on Amazon. I'm waiting for them to go back down. I'll probably spend the weekend getting caught up swatching all of my new polish. Here's a before and after pic. I took the 1st pic when I got my first nails sticks. The lighting's horrible in the 2nd pic, but you get the idea.

I actually like it more than the original Raindrops (I just don't get the hype about that one). I don't love it enough to buy it, but it's pretty.

Electric Sheep and Videodrome have to be mine. Electric Sheep for the colour and the name, Videodrome mostly for the name
Colourwise I like Pond and Ripley too. Don't care for the names though.
Kinda off topic question - can cosmetic brands use film/book (and in the case of the collection name, album) titles to name their products just like that or do they have to get permission from the copyright holder?

I'm so tempted to go to Sephora and find that Dior Lilac. I've already been to that store twice this week. lol but I do want to take swatches of the new MUFE powders.

Ace hauls xelamazing, Medgal07 and Anitacska!
I think we can safely assume that NP fume inhalation has done you no harm whatsoever

Oh, shoot. That looks divine!
Illamasqua is a no-no for me until my two previous orders are safely in my hands. Chances are this will have long sold out by the time that happens.

Never made it to the sorting office today, so now I have to wait until Monday to pick my paackages up. Never mind, my hubby's home today but won't be on Monday, so I'll have some peace to have a proper look. Still waiting for one more package (only 2 nail polishes in that one), hope that'll arrive on Monday too.

Enchantra! I'm not familiar with Prettypolish but they sure have awesome np brands! It'll take a few months untill they grow normal/healthy and I can wear np again.. It's gonna be splitting, breaking and clipping for months so I will have to baby them.Prettypolish.nl?AwwwGah, I just killed my nails. :crybaby: My fingers looks so short and fat without long nails.
I've never had super long nails but I can imagine it being a bit weird for you to have shorties all of a sudden. They'll grow back in no time and be healthier than ever

Not really, when my nails are long I have to wear np everyday otherwise they will break. But when they're short and I paint them it always looks like I dipped my nails in a bucket of paint and it chips almost immediately. So only nail hardener for me.Oh I dunno.
