This is a great way to find dupes! I need to get some nail rounds :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so helpful...especially for reds because there are so many of them out there. Thanks a ton for this!!!
ReplyDeleteI need some more reds. That's what this post is telling me.
ReplyDeletekaren have you ever posted your entire collection and all the swatches up?
ReplyDeleteI know that you have a VERY impressive collection
shortwidenails, the closest I've come so far is my stash post a while back, but that was just showing the Helmer drawers. Someday maybe I'll get through swatching everything. :)

ReplyDeleteI totally need to do some wheels.
ReplyDeleteI love red nail polish.
This was very helpful.
I nominated you for an award.
No pressure to participate in paying it forward. I respect that not everyone has the time to do these things.

I just realised after ordering Limited Addiction it is a bit darker than I thought.
ReplyDeleteDo you know I have ordered nail wheels also (yep completely copycating here) because I seriously love the idea of being so organised!!
Great way to know if you have dupes, too many one gradient, not enough of another etc. I love it!
thanks for this
