Wheels K1 and T1: Pink and Red Cremes and Shimmers

The first wheel for this episode of Nail Wheel Wednesday is an update rather than something entirely new. Wheel K1 made an appearance back in March when I painted it with the pink and red cremes left after I'd put all the other ones on wheels. Somehow I've now filled it up, despite having put myself on a no buy for pinks and reds. Some of the additional ones were bottles I found in the wrong spot in my Helmers—a pink creme hiding in the shimmers, say. Some were swap goodies, which isn't buying exactly. Some came with a set, so I couldn't buy the non-pinks without getting the pink. A few I did buy, because once I've bought most of a collection, I feel I might as well complete it.

This second wheel is just more of the pink shimmers that led me to put myself on that no buy in the first place. It'll be a while before I get to the last of these, since I tend to buy more shimmers than cremes since shimmers vary so much even when they have the same base color. It's the same reason I have a lot more patterned fabrics in my stash than I do solids—the patterns hold my interest longer.
