Happy Sunday! I took these pictures a few weeks ago and in between now and then, a few polishes have been added to this little collection. I wanted to show you guys what polishes I have and how they look all together. I was curious to see how they would look like this too :P I just wanted to share the nail polish love with you all <3 I would love to see your collection as well! I also want to find a better way to store them...At least, an easier way to access them. I have them in 4 shoe boxes under my desk and sometimes when I need a polish, it's just a pain to pull out the boxes. It would be nice to have them under my desk still, but in something that has a pull out drawer of some sort. I've seen a few storage ideas from other bloggers. How do you store yours?
Great collection :] I wish I had room to store mine in drawers or what have you, but mine are in plastic boxes with lids, and a shoe box.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yea, I wish I had more room...lol that just means more reason to fill up the space!
DeleteAwesome collection!! Mine are in a set of plastic drawers that I picked up off the side of the road one day. I'm classy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Oooh that sounds great lol! I really want to store them in something with drawers...
Deletegreat collection! I have a drawer set that's used in offices to store paper clips or pens. It's about the size of a computer tower. and then I made my own wall rack out of poster board and it has almost 100 polishes on it, it's really sturdy and doesn't take up much room!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie! That sounds like a great way to store nail polish...I hope you show that sometime! I would love to see!
DeleteAww the essie heart <3 It seems like your collection is coming along nicely! And girl it's only going to get worse ;) But if you're looking for affordable option they have really neat tutorials on youtube on how to make a nail polish rack from foam board and a glue gun. They seem really sturdy too as people mount them on walls. I wanted to buy some racks on amazon or ebay but wayyyyy to expensive to ship here.
ReplyDeletelol hehe :) I know, right! I'm kind of scared about it getting out of hand lol. You know, I was looking at those tutorials online and it seems pretty sturdy. I think that will have to be a project to try out when I have my own place :D
DeleteGreat collection, I love your photos
ReplyDeleteAw thanks so much :)
DeleteI'm a shoe box person too. I've also managed to fit the shorter bottles into my first Glossybox :-)
ReplyDeletehaha yay for shoe boxes! lol. Oooh nice. I had to google what that was. The Glossybox looks nice and sturdy!
Deletenailpolish galore!! I love it!
ReplyDeletelol! Yay! :D
DeletePretty! I love seeing these pictures. I just did inventory of mine the other night and the number almost made me sick when I calculated it in $... >.< Im living in a studio apartment with my boyfriend right now so storage is non existent at this point. I have two small stacked plastic drawers that my polish has outgrown, so the rest are in trays, plastic caddy, and boxes that my nail mail has come in. For under your desk I would say plastic drawers is a good solution. But be careful, from my experience plastic drawers tend to easily tip over from the weight when you pull them out. I hope to upgrade to a helmer one day *dreams*.
ReplyDeleteomg...I was thinking about doing that $-wise....but I think it would make me sick too lol. It's ok though! It's our passion!! Oh no! I hope your polish gets some storage soon. Thanks for the tip. I can totally see myself (being clumsy and all) pulling a drawer out and having all the whole knock over lol. Hehe a helmer would be so nice to have if we had space to put it... :D
DeleteAwwww Trace, seeing your collection makes me think waaaaaaaay back to when Nessa introduced us to Konad hahaha...I always say this, I know but WOW. It's crazy how we just took it and ran with it! It's crazy to see your whole collection! I want to take one of these pictures too heh...along with the spreadsheet and whatnot I have to finish ;p
ReplyDeleteI know huh! lol oh how crazy it's been :) But it's such a fun hobby! Yea! When you take the picture, post it! I haven't seen any posts from you lately...and I can't wait to see your spread sheet!!
DeleteAwesome stash!!!!
ReplyDeleteHehe thanks! :D
DeleteWow! What a collection!
ReplyDeleteHehe :P
DeleteOMG, I love you even more now. We are total kindred spirits.

DeleteI love your Essie heart! So cute! Your collection is beautiful. How do you like the Pop polishes? I've seen them around but I'm always hesitant to buy them.
ReplyDeleteI used to store mine in shoe boxes too! They were in the basement where no one could see the overflowing mess :P Now I have an Ikea Helmer and it sits proudly in my living room :D
Thanks! I really like the Pop polishes! They're a little on the pricey side but the consistency is pretty good. The ones I have don't come out glossy though. They have that almost matte finish to them. omg! Yea, Frosso was saying how she wants a helmer some day. Those look like the perfect nail storage systems!
Deleteha this is an amazing collection :D
ReplyDeletei never realized how much nail polish i owned until i moved and my luggage restriction was 30 kilos and 10 kilos carry on...i had to weigh everything to make sure i was in the specifications otherwise the penalty for every extra kilo is ridiculous anywhoooo needless to say 14 pounds of nail polish wasn't something i could take with me, so for the meantime they're being homed at my brother's place until my next trip where for sure i'll be bringing them with me haha
XO stephi
lol thanks :) oh my! That's a lot haha! Aw I would be so sad not to have all my nail polish with me lol. I can't wait until you're reunited with your stash :D
Deletelove your collection! :] i have such a hard time finding different nail brands of polishes , so i must look harder! i am also looking for a different way to store mine, because all my polishes are in stuffed into a bag. Haha.
ReplyDeletethanks! aw lol. I hope you find a better way to store them. I actually used to use a bag before my collection grew haha
DeleteHOLY ESSIE BATMAN! Nice collection! I keep mine in a cabinet type thing. A Helmer would be great, but I always drool over those awesome shelving units that have all the colors arranged in a rainbow over like 15 shelves *sigh*
ReplyDeletelmao! thanks :) ooh a cabinet? I like that. Oh I know haha. They look really nice when they're in the shelving...
DeleteGreat collection! All the Esse!! Ahhh! lol Love the pictures!(: and you have some Avon mirror shine nail polishes, I have a couple an havent seen anyone else with them! (;
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks! :D omg you have Avon Mirror Shines too?? Awesome! I haven't seen anyone else with them either! They're really nice polishes!

lol aw thanks!
DeleteBeautiful! Just beautiful!!! I see your Essies got a special place and design, lol. I store some of my polishes in a wall rack and the rest in my helmer. Not easy to see everything in the helmer, but I know which drawers have what and can search for them easier that way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marisa! lol, yep, the Essies needed to be in a heart haha. Ooh, yea, I think a helmer would a great way to keep them organized...I like how you still have some on a wall rack!
DeleteOmg I am so jealous, I wish I had space to hold all of this!
ReplyDeleteYY x

lol. I need a better way to hold them haha!
DeleteGreat collection you've got over there! Mine is in some kind of sideboard. I've just looked at it now after seeing your pictures and I've realized that it has grown a lot since I moved my polishes inside the sideboard! There's almost no space left for new polishes! That can't be good :D
ReplyDeletethanks! lol that will always happen huh? After you move them to somewhere with more space, you end up filling up the space! haha :D
Deletewow this a pretty awesome collection! I love the Essie Pic, so cute :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :D
DeleteOh God, I'm in Paadise! I love your collection and I would give everything to have so many polishes!

DeleteDaaaaaayuuuum, that is quite a collection! Nice! Now what's the minty/turquoise OPI color called? :P
ReplyDeletelol! Thanks haha. That OPI would be Mermaid's Tears from the Pirates collection :D
DeleteGorgeous! When I realized I was starting to have a storage issue, I vowed to use the colors I had up before purchasing anything new.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Oh gosh haha. You're good. It's hard for me to resist new colors!
DeleteOh great! I'm glad it helped you out :) me too I was wondering what it was, at first I thought it was a reality tv show, I didn't really know what to expect...but when I googled it I was surprised to find out it was the first book of the trilogy... i've been reading all my comments and everyone who has read the books loves it, and they've even gone on to read the other two, so everyone has made me really excited to get my hands on the book :)
ReplyDeleteanyway chicky sorry for blabbing on and on, it's like super early here and I'm a bit hyper haha
