Nothing To Disclose Last week I swatched the new limited edition Sally Hansen X-treme Wear collection for Fall '13 on swatch sticks and then it happened. Rhonda from Nails Beautiqued asked me where I got my swatch sticks that say Sally Hansen on them. So why not answer her query? I'm sure plenty of you were wondering the same thing right? Right.

I bought my swatch sticks on eBay for less than $3 per 50 piece pack (with free shipping by the way) so if you have a pretty large collection like myself, you'll easily spend $50 or more if you want to swatch every single shade you own.
I recommend this as a weekend project. Sit around, have a snack, turn on any ridiculous Lifetime movie of your choice, and boom! There you go!


Most sellers have these available in two color options, "natural color" and clear. From what you can see here, I chose clear.

How did I get the names on each stick? A handy dandy label maker!


1. These aren't called swatch sticks on eBay. In fact, if you try to search "swatch sticks" you'll likely get quite a few hockey gear results.
2. Search "nail display fan board."
3. The swatch sticks come with a long metal screw and a nut to put on the end. If you want something a little less hardware store you can pick up a pack of book rings at Office Max like I did.
4. Because you read through this entire post here are some quick swatches of the new Splatter Effect Collection by Claire's
