My light-box is on the way!

Ok so!

I decided recently that my photos on IG are of pretty poor quality.  I do use my phone to take the photos and I don't see this changing anytime soon but the idea of a light-box intrigued me!

There are some tutorials online that show you how to make a light-box yourself and they look pretty good.  These are some I've seen:

The only issue with this for me is that I live in a teeny tiny little place so I don't really have space for a box.  Sounds silly but I don't have a nail room - letalone a space or a desk - so my nail stuff needs to fit into everything else.

For this reason only I decided to search other avenues.  So I went onto ebay and bought a cube that is apparently foldable (ooooh) and then bought some lamps from IKEA.

See below what I purchased exactly :)
 
This hasn't arrived yet so wish me luck!

I then went to IKEA and purchased 3 lamps:

This is the LAGRA lamp - it was $4.99 (AUS) - although the light bulbs cost me $12.99 for 2 - so you can see where they must make their money - haha!!

I bought 4 x 11W bulbs - this was actually the highest I could find.  Whether they work or not we shall see!!

Stay tuned for when my light-box arrives!
