Nail polish rack!
soooooo I totally just spent 30 minutes typing up this whole entire thing for you guys and it never saved :-( that makes me so upset but oh well!! I can't do anything about it now... anyways, I got super crafty this weekend and finally painted my nail polish rack that this awesome girl I work with gave to me for FREE :-D I was so excited to be getting one because I've been looking at some for awhile but never knew what style to pick or anything. Also, I'm really sorry that I've been more focused on my nails lately but I guess it's just cause I was so used to getting them done and now I just paint them myself :-) but I promise I will do makeup look for my next post. ANDDDDD I've been thinking about doing a makeup video but im not so sure since my camera isn't the best quality and I've never edited a video so I don't know! I keep jumping back and fourth between it but whatever!
Okay so I have never had a rack before and I am just so excited because I've been looking at some for awhile but I could never find the perfect one or one that looked like it would fit my closet door of my bathroom. BUTTTTTTT... I saw a girl that I work with had one in a picture of hers and I simply just asked where I could purchase one and she just told me I could have one for free since she had extras :-) So I am very happy that she did that for me! but here's the thing you guys really need to know about nail polish and why they NEED to by sitting upwards. When a bottle lies on its side, lacquer can work its way around the neck of the bottle and lead to the infamous pesky stuck lid! and I was storing my nail polish in a bag where I would always have to dig and search for what I was looking for :-/ BUT now that I have this I won't have to worry about throwing away good nail polish or anything like that! So I really suggest anything to get a rack or to at least store them in deep containers so they are standing up the correct way.
How cute is this?!?! I love this simple and easy design! I tried to look online for ideas but all I got was zebra and cheetah print designs. I feel like the whole animal print thing can be played out sometimes so I decided to go a easy design I have seen before :-)
This is what my nail polish rack looked like originally. I really loved it before hand but since the lettering was fading a little bit.. I just decided to get crafty! Oh and don't mind my kitty slippers lol I was getting ready to paint in my garage. I didn't take pictures step by step on how I did this paint job but its pretty simple and I can just list the steps below :-)
- Prep your area ( drop-cloth, newspaper, tape, paint, etc.)
- Cover everything you DON'T want paint on
- Prime your painting area.. you don't want the paint to crack or chip. Just think of it as makeup! you want to prime your face before so it will last longer and everything will stay on.
- Let the primer dry for 20 minutes. Afterwards, place glue on top (I just bought some glue in a spray can so it was a lot easier to work with) and then sprinkle your glitter all over the area you just covered in glue.
- After that has dried.. take your paint brush and create your zigzags and outline them in white :-) SUPER simple and easy to do!
This is my final result after I washed the rack and painted it :-) I am so happy with the results and how easy it was to do! It probably took my 2 hours to do since I had to wait for the paint and glue to dry :-) I hope you all enjoyed
