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. 
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?
Love this
Problmems with wordpress too?? Don’t know what it is… cand type right, I can’t comment, and sometimes commens show up in the orange bouble, but I CAN’T REPLY…? Same problem with you?
I was using the app on my iPad to post, and it crashed every time I uploaded a picture OR tried to save the post. So annoying!
Oh, I haven’t trid blogging from my Ipad yet…. want to try it soon though, It is neat to blog on the go…. oyu never know if you come by something that is worth blogging..
My computer is just so ridiculously slooooow lately, so I’ve been doing all my picture editing and blogging on the iPad. Not so bad, but the app crashed a ton today
I love seeing how others organize their stash! I’ve been thinking about a helmer, but I don’t really have the space right now.
I really like it – it’s a good height for the size of bottles of polish. What do you use?
I currently use a few plastic trays, but I’m looking into other options!
You have so much nail polish. WOW!
