What's the buzz...

Quick snippets of my day!
I'm in the process today of making a swatch book. I still can't decide how I want the polish swatched. I tried lines down the page, blobs across it...sigh. I'm too picky. But I added some of my art work to the pages for inspiration. I figure I can take it around easier when I do nail art for other people. What are you all up to today? Do you have swatch books? Any tips for me?

ReplyDeleteIt's bedtime here for me but I've done some schoolwork and designs.
A swatchbook seems such a Great idea!
This is such a fun idea! I hope you show us the results!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of doing this but i wish i had the patience to keep one updated!
ReplyDeleteI keep a swatch book so I'm less likely to buy dups & near dups. I made a 4x5" notebook with 5x8" note cards cut in half on a platic coated wire spiral binding. I put a 2 coat swatch of each polish, the brand & name of the polish & the id number on each line. I group most of my polish by color with separate pages for chromes, foils, nail art, magnetic, chunky glitters, glow in the dark & mood polishes. I list them from dark to light, but as I add new polishes they are out of order. I also occasionally purge one that is too close to something I like better. I use white out tape to cover up the purged polishes & put new ones over the top. If a page gets too messy I take the book apart & make a new page. I also add new polishes before I put them away the first time. It helps cuz polishes don't always look the same swatched as they do in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteI started a separate notebook for ideas divided into dots, tape, stamping & freehand.
That's creative! Sorting is my downfall!!
