My Nail Polish Rack Nightmare

So for those girls out there that love nail polishes as much as I do, you know it's a dream to own one of those acrylic nail polish racks that hold something like 96 or 102 nail polishes, you mount it on the wall and you have all your lovely polishes on display.

For some reason just the thought of it make me giddy. I've seen this rack several time on amazon.com and something "similar" and waaaay smaller on amazon.co.uk which is frustrating enough as it is.

But OH! I have an APO box fortunately, and most people ship to APO because in reality they're only shipping as far as NJ after that the MPS takes care of the package.

Here comes the fun part...

I've had to purchase it twice! The first time the seller eCompleteStore, everything seemed to be going fine, my card was charged, 3 days later... the seller cancelled because they were having "shipping issues". I thought "OK, sometimes people can't ship to APO or prefer not to because it's a bit of a hassle".  I waited until I got refunded to repurchase from someone else, I really should've taken that as a sign.

This time I clicked buy from the IDEAS store on amazon.com as-well, it was a little more expensive due to shipping but still only 40 something dollars. Days went by, hmm still no shipping confirmation? I get an email the next day "Cancelled due to customer exchange"... I went ballistic. I immediately went to their store front and double checked; they shipped to APO, oh but look... they changed their mind. The exact same product $84 plus shipping.

Obviously I was more upset over the second time I tried to buy this darn rack than the first time because not only did the seller cancel and say I was the one who changed her mind but also the ridiculous new price tag! (For those wondering here is the link to the store front of this fairly unprofessional company.

However, Amazon's customer service was AMAZING, guess they felt bad for me and gave me a $5 gift card and I didn't even rant. In my email to Amazon I only explained what the original price was, that I was accused of cancelling the order, and that I understood that they could've made the mistake of putting in the wrong price for this article but they could have at least informed me of this mistake instead of using me as an excuse and I highly recommend they notify the seller that it was inappropriate.

I cannot believe my inner Latina didn't go full explosion on this guy... maybe that's just me growing older and wiser :P

Anyway! This is the beauty I've been trying to get a hold of :(
Nail Polish Rack

I shall have to build my own!!!
Wish me luck.

My Nail Polish Collection

As most of my friend know, I do love my nail polishes, my mother gifted me about 15 on Christmas which I LOVED! My humble collection used to be a lot larger before I moved to the UK, sadly I had to down size when I moved.

I also have to admit that if I don't feel a colour looks good on me because of my skin tone I almost immediately give it away, or if I feel a polish is getting too old I toss it in the bin.

So here they are, my 'lil gems :)

Starting up top then left to right: Vintage Rose, Gold Coin, Minted, Mischievous, Midnight Affair, Quick Dry, Steel-her Heart, Matte Top Coat, Snow Bunny, Copper Penny.

All in this photo are Revlon nail polishes.

On a side-note; I also have Gel polishes, many gel polishes. As you mau know, these don't come in see through bottles and some names are just numbers. So I didn't even bother in listing them here.

Although I can promise you another post with all the gel polishes with swatches!
