My Stash and Storage

Standard

A lot of people ask me how many bottles of polish I own, and where I keep them all. So, today I’ve decided to show you what I got! I’m addicted, it’s true… And I’m expecting more nail mail this week!

This is my Helmer! I bought it at Ikea after reading that the drawer size is the ideal height for bottles of polish. It’s really great, and I totally recommend it! On top of the Helmer is a Caboodles train case. I keep my nail art and manicure tools inside, mostly. Who knew that Caboodles is still a thing! I got it at Target, and I use it to bring my polishes with me when I’m doing friends’ nails. 20130203-120107.jpg
Here’s a shot of the inside – it has top and base coats, brushes, dotting tools, glitter, nippers and clippers and pushies, etc.

This is the top drawer of my Helmer, which is basically sorted by brand. I don’t really own full collections, so everything is lind of a hodge podge of stuff I like and/or stuff that was on sale. Here’s a brief rundown of what’s in this drawer:

  • 14 OPIs
  • 18 China Glazes
  • 29 Full sized Essies and 4 minis
  • 10 Zoyas
  • 14 Color Clubs (I do have a collection! It’s the Take Wing collection) and 4 minis

This drawer is totally crammed full, with a total of 90 polishes.

Ok, I’m not going to list everything out here (WHY DOES WORDPRESS KEEP CRASHING!?!). Here are some brands in this drawer, and I’ll give you the final tally at the end:

  • Orly
  • Sephora by OPI
  • Barielle
  • Sation
  • Nails Inc
  • Nina Pro Ultra
  • Catrice
  • Butter London
  • Pretty Serious Cosmetics
  • KB Shimmer
  • Cirque

Ok, there are 65 polishes in this drawer!

This is all drugstore polishes. Brands include Revlon, Sally Hansen, Rimmel, Milani, and NYC. There are 86 polishes here.

This drawer is full of stripers and nail polish pens. I don’t actually use a bunch of these, so I should probably pare this down. There are some I use all the time, though, and should get back ups!

So. The grand finale is 236 nail polishes, 37 stripers/pens, 11 base/top coats. YIKES. How many do you have?
