How I swatch my polishes

Here's my way of swatching:

i've a instead problematic, but cool manner of swatching. can i run it with the aid of you step by step? (if not, simply don't hold analyzing)

1. I take a nail wheel, like within the image above. they arrive in spherical or oval shapes, some are obvious and others are white. they may be no longer expensive and mine has 20 nails on a wheel.

2. I break off the nails. I'll just show you how I swatched my new polishes, so three is all I need right now. 

3. I take my Dremel, and I shave off the rough edges so it has a nail shape again. Sometimes I'll also file the edges to make them even smoother. 

4. The Dremel helps me make holes in the nails. I love my Dremel :D

5. Those are my new polishes, with the nails in front of them. Now I'm going to paint those. 

6. Usually, it takes one thick coat or two normal ones to get a swatch painted. I pick up the nail with pliers so my own nails don't get painted accidentally. 

7. And then they look like this! I hang them on a ring and put them in my polish case. 

I don't have many polishes so this technique works excellent for me. it's no longer costly but it's miles type of time eating if you like to shop for loads of polishes. it's clean for me to see which swatch is from which polish, because of the small length of my stash. And additionally, i really like to preserve my swatches in my fingers and take a look at the quite colours and the glitters. they're quite and i feel happy searching at my beautiful polishes :D
