NaildIt!

About NaildIt

Get NaildIt on the App Store!

After years of collecting nail polishes and dip powders*, I was drowning in my 50+ colour collection. I was accidentally buying duplicates, forgetting the recipes for amazing custom mixes I'd made, and losing track of manicure photos and application notes.

I finally decided to try my (of course manicured) hand at creating NaildIt - an app to track colours and manicures. I can humbly say that I've absolutely loved using it, and am thrilled to share it with fellow nail enthusiasts!

*I absolutely love the GLAMRDiP system, but am not associated with them in any way!

Why I'm excited to share NaildIt

• Track your growing collection of colours (no more duplicate purchases!)
• Save gorgeous manicures for future inspiration (also useful to capture times you haven't quite NaildIt)
• Browse in list or photo mode to easily see what you have
• Create custom colour mix recipes with exact ratios (my favourite: "GlamrGlow", 8 parts Aurora to 1 part Mirage for a beautiful glow!)
• Sort and filter to show exactly what you need
• Manual sort to match your physical colour swatches
• Rate how each look turned out, and whether you NaildIt! 
• All data stays on your device - no accounts, no cloud storage
• No in-app purchases or premium features, buy it once (for less than a nail polish) and that's it

Usage and Tips

1. There are three areas of the app; Colours, Manicures, and Settings
2. Add, Edit, and Delete Colours and Manicures to track and organise your stash and creations
• Can click on an item to see its "Detailed" view
• You can delete items by:
• Swiping from right to left to bring up the Delete button in one of the list views
• Clicking through to a Detailed view and scrolling to the bottom to find the Delete button
• Long-holding on an item in one of the list views to allow bulk select/delete 
3. Colours and Manicures are quite similar:
• They each have a:
• Name
• Brand
• Dates Bought/Worn
• Rating (with a rating of 5 representing a NaildIt manicure!)
• Photos (main, shown in the list view and additional)
• Categories (like Hues, Special Effects, Nail Length, etc.)
• Notes: This is a catch all for everything! Use it for anything you want to keep track of that isn't a specific field like number of layers to use for colours, what outfits your manicure went with, how long your manicure took
• You can "view" your list of Colours and Manicures in different modes:
• Normal (Main Photo, Name, Rating, and some other details like Ownership, Type, Categories and Brand)
• Compact (Main Photo, Name and Rating)
• Photo Gallery (a larger Main Photo, Name) - this is useful for seeing items next to each other, especially when used with filtering and sorting!
• You can sort your list by Name, Brand, Rating, Date, or Manual
• Manual mode allows you to move the order of items by pressing the pencil button, then holding the two little lines on the right of each line, and dragging them around the list (press the tick to stop sorting)
• Tip: Use Manual mode to sort your Colours in the same order as your physical swatches if you have some! (sorting in Manual mode only works in Normal and Compact view, not Photo Gallery view)
• You can filter your list by Colours, Minimum Rating, Categories, and:
• For Colours: Brand, Ownership (All/Owned/Wishlist/Salon), Duplicates, Type (All/Official/Custom), Used in Manicures (All/Used/Unused)
• For Manicures: Date Range 
4. Colours also uniquely have:
• Ownership (Owned, Wishlist, Salon)
• Owned - allows you to keep track of how many you have (for duplicates)
• Wishlist - for colours you want (useful if importing a whole brand's catalog)
• Salon - if the colour was at a salon! 
• Type (Official or Custom) - custom lets you select which colours you used to create your custom mix, together with ratios, perfect for mixing dip powders! 
5. Settings has some cute About info, lets you change the Colour Theme, and Import and Export to csv (comma separated value) file
• Export your collection for sharing or backup
• Tip: the exported file can be opened in Excel 
• Import pre-made catalogs 
• I'll share a GLAMRDiP file to import, with all colours marked as Wishlist so people can slowly start adding their own pictures to the ones they own :)

My upcoming NaildIt iPhone App!

I’ve been working on a iPhone application and I’m so excited to share the progress! It started off as a personal project both to learn Swift (the Mac/iPhone programming language), and to create something that I really wanted for myself - a way to track my (specifically Glamrdip) nail colour collection and the manicures I’ve done.

I’ve been using it for a little while now and I must say, I love it! It’s so awesome being able to look through my collection when trying to find inspiration for a manicure, it’s saved me buying duplicates, and it’s helping me keep track of custom colours I’ve created (with the number of “parts” of each mix colour used).

The next steps are to figure out how to actually get this on the App Store because I really think it’s something other people would get use out of! I’ve started looking into it and… the last 10% right? Maybe a couple more weekends of figuring out the process will also make sure I get some more testing in!

Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs

Almost missed this while we were away, and saw it popping up on people's Facebook feed. Wow, this was tougher than I thought it was going to be! There weren't that many songs available for each band, and sometimes I think there was a better song choice, but all of these are so iconic. So interested to see what comes out!

My votes: 

• RUFUS DU SOL - Innerbloom
• Tame Impala - The Less I Know The Better
• Pond - Daisy

• Muscles - Ice Cream
• Flume - Rushing Back [Ft. Vera Blue]

Europe Trip 2025 Wrap Up

I thought I’d do a little wrap up post with the highlights from our trip to warm me up while I sit rugged up under the heater in Perth. It was an amazing holiday, hard to not think about the whole thing as a highlight!

Serbia - Belgrade

• Being together with Andrew’s extended family and friends to celebrate Olga, the hospitality and amazing events organised by Michael and Iva
• The trendiest city on the trip - the enviable “just tell us what you like” bar culture, runs through castles and ruins
• The cevapi, pljeskavica, kajmak, tomatos, strawberries, and incredible produce in general
• Doing the puzzle of Knez Mihailova Street all together, the street we were staying on

Romania

Bucarest

Seeing Mari, authentic food (and papanasi) at Caru cu Bere, the open air museum, and incredible and absurd Palace of Parliament building.

Comana

Hugging my grandparents and uncle, eating a vision straight off the tree.

Brasov

The most charming city on the trip, seeing my aunty and uncle, hiking Tampa with Yvonne, Doru taking us on a little car tour, Bran castle, and the rădașcă beetle.

Transfagarasan

Totally agree with Top Gear’s assertion this is the best drive in the world, seeing so many bears! Stop at Sibiu was also cute.

Cluj

Good beer, but highlight was the day trip to the Salina in Turda.

Hungary - Budapest

• The most impressive city on the trip, just too much to look at
• Cruise on the Danube, Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, then seeing it all again in person
• Ruin bars, food caravans, chimney cake, goulash

Austria

Vienna

Rain and sooo much wind, Klimt, orchestra, apple strudel.

Graz and Thal 

Arnie! I love him even more.

St Wolfgang

The most beautiful city on the trip, the blue lakes and lying on the pontoon in Strobl is in my meditation memory bank for good.

Hallstatt 

Glad we went, it’s a beautiful city, but more glad we that we spent most of our time in St Wolfgang.

Salzburg

Like Budapest on a smaller scale, seeing the city while getting caught in a gay pride parade.

Innsbruck

The cute little stop on the way to Aqua Dome.

Aqua Dome (Oberlangenfeld)

The most relaxing stop on the trip, the second martini glass pool with the mountain views, not knowing what we’ve been missing with sauna infusions.

Germany

Stuttgart

Mercedes Benz museum, seeing the incredible history and various 190E versions, and fun fun fun on the autobahn.

Munich

The coolest city on the trip, beer gardens galore, the overwhelmingly impressive Deutsches Museum, the glockenspiel encores, desperately wishing we had the concept of a Therme.

Back in Perth

So sad it's over. We made so many incredible memories, and we will make sure to ride this holiday high as long as possible! The few plus sides are a perfecf flat white from Leaf and Bean, Smiths Salt and Vinegar Chips, and a proper IPA, although I'd give all this up for lakes of Austria in a heartbeat.
