stash porn: my nail art junk

I realized I haven't done a Stash Porn post in forever....so ya wanna take a tour of my nail art stash? Sweet...

This is where my nail art stuff lives--a Caboodles train case that amazingly used to house my entire makeup collection (the days of my entire makeup collection fitting into ANY one case are loooooong gone). Let's open this mama up.....



Oooohhh aaaahhhhh. Look at all the goodies! There's tape for tape manis (that I've never used), sponge applicators for sponge manis (also never used)...

Obscene amount of decals--many of which feature spiders, skulls and other such creepy halloween stuff...



Fimo sticks. Know how many times I've used these? Yes that's right.  Zero friggin times--how did you guess? 

Various glitters and rhinestones in little drug-dealer baggies.  Got these from Bundle Monster on Amazon and when they came to me, they were in those little wheel dealies--but all the different bits were all mixed up--which sent my OCD into over drive. So I de-wheeled everything and sorted it all piece by minuscule piece into their own little baggies. It took me hours. Yes I'm aware of how ridiculous that is...

Oohhh look pretty pristine nail art brushes. And no, I'm not THAT good at cleaning my brushes. Truth is I have NEVER used them.  Don't look so shocked!

Various dotting tools and orange sticks (I love those monster-size orange sticks they sell at Sally's. They're so much better than the piddly skinny ones.  The bigness makes cuticle taming MUCH easier)...and yes I HAVE actually used the dotting tools--well one of them....once....to make snowman-face nails over Christmas. 

Stamping plates, Konad stampers and various glitters. I have both Bundle Monster sets and a bunch of different random Konad plates that I bought for one reason or another. I have had my eye on the Red Angel plates that popped up on Amazon a little while back. My stamping stuff is pretty much the only stuff in this whole box that I use enough to justify the money I spent on it--so of course I'm all about spending more...

Micro beads, more micro beads and glitter shapes.

Microbeads and my big vat of black glitter from Michael's. 

Good Lord that's a lot of glitter. I love the shiny things...

There you have it. I got all the materials to kick out some awesome nail art...and maybe one day, when the moment is right, I'll actually pull it all out and do more than just take pictures of it all...

  1. Haha. It is like me and my craft supply. Now that I am moving to another country and have so little storage space back home I need to start selling it/give it to friends. I have forbid myself to buy any more nail polish as well as I won't even be able to bring all I have with me. It is so hard!!! When I am not supposed to buy I get more tempted than ever!

    1. I know exactly what you mean! Also, it seems like when I finally try to cut myself off from buying more, that's when all the "omg I MUST have these" collections come out!

  2. Hi!Late in commenting.I don't know where I've been all this while.I am trying to catch up on my blog reads. Anyway, I have one question,where did you purchase your nail art brushes? I have been wanting a set like that.I have seen el cheapos at my discount beauty supply,and then there's Sally's which is not so cheap,what bugs me,is they never come with instructions on what brush is for what.I mean how am I supposed to know what to do with all that? Even so I still want a kit.

    1. I got my brushes somewhere on Amazon (wish I could remember the name of the Sellers). I have 2 different sets that I store together...and I admit I've yet to figure out what each brush is best for. Maybe one day I'll get around to experimenting with them...
