Nail Polish Organization Idea

I've always had issues with nail polish storage. For years, they rested (unhappily) under my bed in shoeboxes. Then I got in on the nail polish wall rack craze. Then I realized that I wasn't running a nail salon. So several months back while perusing the organizational-containter-thingies aisle at Target, I discovered these babies.
SNAPWARE CONTAINERS! They come in sets of two, with one lid. Each compartment acts as the other's lid. So you could technically stack lots and lots! However, when filled with nail polish (which makes them quite heavy), it is definitely NOT a good idea to lift these by the handles if you have to move them. But it's no big deal. They're awesome, so I can get past that one flaw. Which isn't technically a flaw, as I don't think they're actually made for storing nail polish... ANYWAY, that's beside the point. Did I mention they're awesome??
They're the perfect depth for typical nail polish bottles. The only ones that cause a bit of trouble are the Sephora by O.P.I brand. They're a little tall, so you'll have to store those on the very top compartment. The blue lid fits perfectly on top of them, but another section will not stack on top of that particular brand. Check out the picture below to see what I'm talking about. The Sephora by O.P.I colors are in the back left.

See how they're a bit taller?? No biggie. Just store them inside the top container and you're good to go. I also love how you can easily find the color you need by looking into the containers. No digging. I love it.

When you're done, they stack neatly out of the way under a bed, in a closet... wherever.


They also sell smaller versions that come with three stacked containers that are great for storing nail files, clippers, cuticle balms, etc.
I was unable to find these on the Target website, but they sell them all sorts of places, and in actual Target stores if you are interested. Also, if you want to search for them online, the brand is Snapware and they're called "Snap-N-Stack" containers.

Top 5 Red Nail Polish

I love red nail polish so I'll share with you a list of my favorite nail polishes. I have a lot of red nail polish, but I'm still constantly buying them because I believe that the red nails are a classic that all trendsetters will sometimes wear. No other color is so sexy and feminine as red!

Sometimes people think that brighter shades of red looks better on blonds, and darker shades are best on brunettes and women with darker hair. I would have to agree with this because I know that i look better with bright red lacquer, but I haven't gave up on darker shades, so you don't have to pay too much attention on this! Wear what you like!


This is my top 5 red nail polish:

1. Dior Vernis 752 Jamaican Pepper

I fell in love at first sight in this nail polish and is my favorite one. Beautiful medium-bright red hue, which contains a tiny shimmer. No orange tones. This polish is very long-wearing, and the texture is wonderful, and therefor is extremely easy to apply. His only downside is the price that is around $22.

2. OPI Vodka & Caviar

Classic red with which you will not go unnoticed! It has additives orange tones. Texture and lasting are very good, and you don't need as the nail polish itself gives a very high glass shine. Price is around $6.

3. China Glaze Ruby Pumps China Glaze Ruby Pumps

There is nothing like this nail polish! Red glitter jelly base will simply leave you breathless! The only problem will be harder removal because of the sequin, but believe me, you will not regret it because this is wonderful polish. Picture can not show how wonderful this polish sparkle. The price is around $4.

4. Essie Really Red


This shade is very similar to OPI Vodka & Caviar nail polish, but it has jelly texture so you'll want to eat your nails! Essie varnishes are of high quality, durability is excellent and easy to apply. Price is $1.5.

5. Rimmel Hot Gossip


I bought this nail polish at saleswomen suggestion, but I have intended to buy more expesive nail polish. She told me that I will be very satisfied with this polish, and the price is only $6. And was right! Nail polish is beautiful, perfect texture, and the biggest surprise is the brush that I think is the best on the market! It is thin and wide with a rounded end so it perfectly fits to nails shape, and you won't make a mess even if you are in a hurry.


That was my top 5 list of favorite red nail polish, and now tell me which are your top 5?

The Perfect Home Manicure

Manicured nails give the impression of a person who cares for those tiny details of her appearance, but that doesn't mean that you have to regularly visit beauty salon to get what you want. All this you can do it yourself at home, with your own manicure kit that you can buy at any drug store, which is always a good investment.

For decades, the manicure was working on a fairly simple way: cut off the excess skin, nails and smeared with paint, but in the last few years since the cosmetic industry evolved manicures can also be used in a different way. There are dozens of products for hand care and nails to make this process easier and give better results.

If you want to do your own manicure, you have to understand a few basic steps. First, find a place that has a lot of light, the window or under lights in order to have the right lighting. Then follow these few steps which will result in a perfectly manicured nails.

Preparation is the key

Thoroughly wash your hands in warm water using soap, then dry them. If you have previously had some nail polish on your nails, remove it with nail polish remover, which should, if possible, be oil-based because it is less aggressive for the nails and cuticles around them.

Apply the liquid to remove the cuticle and during his tenure form your nails but keep in mind the natural shape of the nail. After that, push back the cuticle using a wooden or metal cuticle pusher, which will apart the skin around the nail. This is a much better option as opposed to cutting the cuticle, which with time become harder and harder to remove.

In the bowl with warm water, add a slice of lemon or grapefruit juice and soak the nails in it and hold them for several minutes. Fruits in warm water will cleanse the lower part of the nail and bleach them naturally. The hands then dry with a towel and moisturize them with a thin layer of mask for hands.

Rest for the tired hands

Wrap hands in gloves or a towel that you have previously heated on the radiator and rest for about five minutes. This is necessary in order to mask that you previous put on, deeply penetrates your skin and is thoroughly fed. Clean the mask with a sponge or simply rinse under running hot water. Don't forget to thoroughly dry hands and nails after every wash with a towel to prevent drying of your skin.

Polish your nails but do it gentle and slow just over the surface of the nail, and the goal is only to remove fat from the surface. Skip this step if you have naturally dry nails that "blooms". Massage your hands and nails with moisturizer for hands, and if you have extremely dry hands use more oily cream. With circular motion massage each part of the hands, including nails.

Nail polish color as a mark of your personality

Before you polish thoroughly clean each nail with acetone because after you put cream nails are slippery and you won't be able to apply nail polish. It is desirable to apply base before applying the lacquer which will take care of that color on your nails to be as prolonged.

Once the base is dry, polish your nail with nail polisher you usually, but have in mind that with bright colors, like red, blue or purple, you must apply two coats.

Wait a few minutes for the nail polish to dry, then apply a cuticle oil and rub it well on the cuticle and the nails. The oil will feed them and prevent damage, and the skin around the nails will make soft and smooth.
