how to label coastal scents palettes


the only problem with some coastal scents palettes (and 120/180/168 palettes) would be the lack of names, so you cant really tell people what colors you used (blog posts, youtube tutorial, conversation). i wanted my palettes labeled to avoid having a derp moment. i labeled mine battle-ship style (letter/number). so when i use the black from the 88 original palette (bottom right corner), i can say 88 original (K8). this works this the unlabeled palettes (any 88 palette). the creative palettes and 252 palette have names for their shadows. you can label these palettes battle-ship style, or you can use the names of the shadows. to label them, i used a bronze sharpie (metallic sharpie kit, silver, gold, bronze from walmart $3) and wrote on the actual plastic palette so that way it wouldn't rub off or smear. i also kept the plastic sheet on the shadows and used that as a protector from my hand hitting the shadows and making a giant mess.  i did this with my original, shimmer, metal mania, prism, and 252 (all trays). i just wanted an easier way to label/name the shadows so that i could tell what colors i used.
