Zoya Trixie + Mash plate #10

I must say, this was the most frustrating manicure ever. I was very impatient b/c it was 10pm on a Sunday night and I didn't want to go to work with "naked" nails. That being said, after trimming and filing my nails, I didn't have time to buff and smooth out the surface so the final look is extremely bumpy. On top of that, I tried to do an accent ring finger but with the foil polish, you couldn't even tell. The next day, I decided to cover up the flaws with Mash plate #10.

Zoya Polish with Stamping

I'm trying to use more Non-toxic polishes. For this manicure, I used:

Base Coat by No Miss (purchased from whole foods)

Zoya Malia-only 1 coat but I think next time I should use two

Top Coat-No Miss

Mash plate #4 with white Konad polish

Another layer of Top Coat-this time using Konad's top coat

DIY Nail Polish Rack

Finally finished my DIY Nail Polish rack to make room for all of my Zoya polishes. I think I'm going to need another one! :-)

Thanks fellow you-tuber for the inspiration.

Materials used:

3 black foam boards
Paper cutter
Hot glue gun
Printed duct tape
8.5 by 11 sheets of zebra print paper

Directions:

1 foam board will be the backboard
Cut the 2nd board into even horizontal strips for the shelves
Glue them to the backboard
Cut the 3rd board vertically the same size as the shelves and glue them to the side
Next cut the same number of smaller horizontal strips that will be decorated with duct tape-this will stop the polishes from falling off
Glue all around the edges to secure the shelves
Lastly, I printed the same design on printer paper and slipped them in the shelf spaces.
I hope this helps!
