So there you have it, my entire nail stash!

How did I swatch my colors? I dipped the end of a nail art brush into the polish and dabbed it on the top of each lid then wiped off the end of the brush . This has made it so much easier to see what colors I have as soon as I open a drawer. My previous method was to swatch on nail wheels but since there wasn’t space to write on them, they went unlabeled (yea very bad system lol).
