How to pack nail polishes for moving

By

Today I´m showing you how to pack nail polishes for moving. Most of you probably don´t know that in 5 days we will be moving to UK for the next 11 months. Yay! On Friday I started packing nail polishes that I´m taking with me to UK. I do have about 150 nail polishes, but I´m not taking all of them with me. How I chose what to take and what not? I took those that I absolutely love and can´t live without 😀 I also tried not to pack any dupes with me.

Tänases postituses näitan teile, kuidas mina pakin kolimiseks küünelakke. Enamik teist tõenäoliselt ei tea, et juba viie päeva pärast kolime me perega järgmiseks 11 kuuks Inglismaale. Reedel alustasin ma pakkimisega, et kõike mitte viimasele minutile jätta ning seega pakkisin ära küünelakid, mille kaasa võtan. Minu kollektsioonis on umbes 150 lakki, ent kõiki neid ma kaasa võtma ei hakka, kuna kohapealt on plaanis osta uusi niikuinii 😀 Kuidas ma otsustasin mida võtta ja mida jätta? Lihtne! Kaasa pakkisin vaid need, mis mulle kõige rohkem meeldivad ning ilma milleta ma elada ei saa (nali! 😀 ). Samuti üritasin kaasa võtta võimalikult erinevaid toone.

For packing nail polishes you will need:

  • a carton box
  • bubble wrap
  • scissors
  • duck tape

Küünelakkide pakkimiseks läheb vaja:

  • kasti/karpi
  • mullikilet
  • kääre
  • teipi

how to pack nail polishes for moving

  1. add a layer of bubble wrap in  the bottom of the box
  2. roll the nail polish in a piece of bubble wrap
  3. cut the excess
  4. add a piece of duck tape so the nail polish stays securely in  the bubble wrap
  5. place it in the box
  6. make sure the packed nail polishes won´t move around too much in the box
  7. add a layer of bubble wrap on top of the polishes
  8. close the box and tape it

Packing nail polishes this way is time consuming, but I can be pretty sure they will arrive in one piece to my new place. When it comes to bubble wrap then you can buy it from post offices and other places that sell packing materials. Don´t forget to reuse! I get quite many packages and I usually keep the usable bubble wrap and so I can use it myself if I need it. The same goes with boxes.

So these were my tips for packing nail polishes. What are your tips?

Did you spill some nail polish on hard floor? Then use this quick tip about how to remove spilled nail polish off the floor!

  1. aseta kiht mullikilet karbi põhja
  2. rulli küünelakk mullikilesses
  3. lõika ära üleliigne
  4. kinnita kile otsa teibiga
  5. aseta lakk kasti
  6. Aseta lakid kati piisavalt tihedalt,  et nad seal  väga liikuma ei hakkaks
  7. pane lakkide peale veel kiht mullikilet
  8. sulge karp ning teibi kinni

Selliselt küünelakkide pakkimine võtab küll aega, ent samas saan ma olla üsna kindel, et mu lakid jõuavad sihtkohta tervetena. Mis puutub mullikilesse siis ise ostan seda vajadusel Pakendikeskusest, aga kindlasti on seda müügil ka teistes kohtades. Muide ärge unustage taaskasutust! Saan päris palju pakke ning kui pakis on korralik, terve & taaskasutatav mullikile, siis hoian selle alles juhuks kui mul endal midagi on vaja kilesse pakkida. Sama kehtib ka kastide ja karpidega 😉

Sellised olid minu nipid küünelakkide pakkimiseks. Millised on sinu nipid?

    I’m so bookmarking this for in a few weeks when we close on our house. Awesome tips!

    I don’t even want to think about having to move polishes lol

  14. Norah Salazar says

    OMG Leelo, you are moving to the UK! I lived there a year and loved it, I lived for Superdrug and Boots makeup/ nails/ hair. So excited for you 🙂

  17. geniabeme says

    Super good tips!! I just throw everything in a box and hope they don’t break, lol.

  19. litfromwithin9 says

    Good luck with your move! I would lose my ever-loving mind if I had to pack up all my polishes. I think we’re staying in this house forever!

    Safe travels! I’ve moved a dozen times and I’ve never been this careful. I’ve got to move again and the smart thing to do would be your way but um…lazy. LOL!

  25. Polarbelle says

    Love this post. Best wishes on your move. We’ll be moving about 2000 away soon and if I was smart, I’ll start wrapping polish soon. I’m dreading weeding down my stash.

  27. glamorable says

    I broke so many polishes while moving! Let’s hope it won’t happen again 🙂

  28. honeygirlsworld says

    This is very helpful. I have broken a few nail polishes and I totally agree, time consuming but worth it. Good luck in your travel and your new adventures 🙂

  29. Christy Garrett Parenting Tips says

    Great tips. I wanted to add that if you don’t have money to buy bubble wrap, you can use your dish towels or wash clothes to wrap them as well. When I move, I always wrap my dishes and glass wear in towels. It works great and keeps my stuff from breaking plus it keeps it clean. 😉

    Now this is smart! I’ll admit I’m usually lazy and just chuck them in a tote. But messes are not fun, and neither is loosing an expensive polish! Thank you for sharing this on the #SundayBlogHop
