My Nail Kit


This is the current organization of my nail stuff. I find this way practical and organized. It is very easy to just grab my kit when I want to do my nails. I got the fabric bin from either Big Lots or Target. Lets take a look at what I have in my nail kit.

Picture Link



 The first item is Shany Cosmetic's 48  Mini Bottle Nail Art Kit. I purchased this on Amazon but it is available online at Shany Cosmetics. It is $12 on sale (originally $14) on the online Shany store and it happens to be $13.95 on Amazon. I'm in love with this nail art kit. It has many different types of decals to decorate your nails. TIP: To apply the decals; place them on the nails when the top coat is still wet then when first coat is dry seal the decal with another top coat.


Here I have a glass jar full of nail files, nail clippers, and other tools. Keeping these item in this jar help from all my nail clippers and files from getting lost of the bottom of my bin. If you don't have a glass jar try using a plastic cup or a clean can.

Here are my nail dotting tools! I love the color of these...don't you?! I purchased these on Amazon for only $3.95. I have yet to use these but I'm excited to.

I have a small container for when I want to do water marbling, two different cuticle lotions, a little pumice stone with a brush on the other side (I use the brush when I smooth my nails or file them), and I have a couple buffer files. I do not know where these items were purchase sense I've had them for a few years now.

Here I have a baggie full of nail stripping stickers that I purchased on Amazon for $1.75. The other baggie has nail stickers. I'm not sure where the nail stickers came from.


Here is a container full of little gems for your nails. I purchased these on Amazon for $2.10. Some of the gems were mixed when I received this but only a few. Also it says it came with 1200 gems which I read the reviews before hand and people said there were not that many. I wasn't a huge deal for me so I purchased it. I love the size of these gems and I does come with a lot of gems as you can see. TIP: I apply these gems the same way as I do with the Shany decals. Place the gem on a wet top coat then once first coat is dry seal the gem in with another coat of top coat.
Here is my nail brush set. I purchased this set on Amazon for $2.82.



I keep some Q-tips in a small baggie in my kit so that I can clean up mistakes.


Although I don't have these in my kit I have them near by. The CVS brand 100% acetone nail polish remover is my favorite nail polish. It takes off your nail polish so fast! Some disappointments would be the price and that acetone is not good for your nails.

That is all that is in my kit. Please feel free to use this as inspiration for your own! All items were purchased by myself. All opinions are my own.

What I Got For Christmas? (Nail Polish Rack)

Before Christmas my grandmother let me purchase a couple things on amazon. One of those things was a nail polish rack! I had to much nail polish an it was no longer fitting in what I used to have it in. So I found this nail polish rack which was $29.50 that holds 90 bottles of nail polish. It came with a little sign that said "Polish Station" in red but I chose not to use it because it didn't go with the theme of my bedroom. I love having the rack because it gives your room more of a salon feel as well as making it easier to find a nail polish. In the pictures the nail polish is spread out so I still have room to grow! I think this rack is well worth the money and highly recommend it.

What I got for Christmas? (Vanity Organizer)

My family celebrates Christmas so since its over now and most of my stuff came in the mail I would like to share what I got. Now that I'm older holidays became more of a family time for me. The past few holidays weren't the best due to family issues but this year thankfully went very well. This Christmas I got a couple gifts to open along with gift cards and money to spend. The first gift I got was from my grandmother. I was so surprised when I opened the box because it was such a perfect gift! I've been wanting one and I never even mentioned to her that I wanted to get one (or to anyone).

Here it is!
Since it is a gift I can't tell you where she got it from. I'm sure you can find a similar one if you dig around online. PBteen sells very nice ones but they cost a bit of money. The one I have has many compartments for all your beauty supplies or you could use it for your desk which would be just as nice! I happen to have some new makeup brushes arriving in the mail soon that is why I still have some open spots on the left. There a three drawer on the bottom. From left to right I have some tweezers in the first drawer, in the second I have my small earrings, the third is empty at the moment. I really enjoy that it has a big open compartment in the middle so I can put my moisturizers and foundations. It's very easy to grab what you need. I'm very satisfied with this organizer and I still have empty compartments to use!

Here are some more photos!

This is how my "vanity" is set up. It is actually a desk I bought from Walmart for only $49. Yes very affordable but you have to be very careful setting them up because the wood can split. But it does the job and I love the way it looks and works for me. I'd highly recommend just looking for an affordable desk to use as a vanity.
The mirror I got from a family friend.
The thing I have my necklaces on was my grandmothers that she let me have. It used to be brown so I just painted it over with some black paint.
