I bought a helmer! (and its already full and I need another one)

          I dragged my husband up to harlem to buy a helmer from ikea for $20. They usually run around 40 or 60 so I think it was well worth the trip.   For the past three years I have been keeping my nail polish in random plastic boxes and shoe boxes. It goes without saying that its been a kindof a mess. I leave polishes all over the place as if I'm a polish fairy. It drives my husband nuts.  The good thing about the  helmer is it has 6 drawers and each drawer can hold like, one hundred polishes perfectly. The drawers have the perfect dimension to hold a standard bottle of polish.
Most bloggers who I have read who have helmer's organize theirs by color/type.  I decided to keep mine organized by brand and if the polishes have a special effect. So, clears/treatments are kept the same, and nail art/special nail polishes are kept the same. Otherwise, polishes are kept within a brand grouping. Enjoyy my messy pics!


 I believe its safe to say I am back on game with doing my nails and making fun nail art. This post is mainly about my aztec nails. You see, during the long hours of my fabulous summer job, I am often at lack of things to do when I can't interact with the girls. You see, them being so damn old means they have to do everything by themselves for the most part, so while they do their homework and make cards and cupcakes and whatever, I am drawing ancient hieroglyphics on my nails.  I know, I know,  its a case of an Irish woman trying to tap into that native american scholarship that the government lies to us about.


 In anycase, here are my aztec nails, I used the same American Apparel nail polishes as my last post.  I thought this design was better, I liked the idea of having multiple colors between the black designs, reminds me of a totem poll or a five year old's scribblings. Enjoy ;0
