The last time I showed you my stash was over a year ago and since then my collection has grown a fair bit. I invested in a Helmer a few months ago to combat the army of polish bottles slowly taking over every single surface in sight! I've had requests for a stash post/video so I thought I may as well oblige so here is just that!
I counted them all up after I filmed the video and the total is 313 bottles. What do you think, were you expecting more? I was! It's a lucky thing that I'm so stingy when it comes to buying beauty products or I think the total would be waaaaay higher.
This isn't absolutely everything I own to do with nails. I keep my base coats and top coats on a shelf next to my desk for easy access and I also have my brushes and stamping plates there too. If you're curious about my plates, you can see all of those in this video.

I was definitely expecting more, but I think it's rather the good kind of surprise that there isn't.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this post and video!!

Just 313?? U really made me feel that u had something around 500-600 at least
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection! Fab that you have loads of cheaper brands, I find them just as good sometimes... but I always think people with immaculately beautiful nails stick to the expensive brands. So it's good to see you have a massive mixture like I do!
ReplyDeleteCool storage solution too! X
I just got a helmer today, I was surprised that I only used three drawers (and they aren't even full) for my 200 ish polishes. I was googling Helmers earlier and came across a post on a page called SammysLips about them. I was reading a few of the posts and then saw a picture which made me think it was you.... then I saw a comment by Sammersaurus and realised it WAS you!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection. I too thought you would have more. I too have helmers and they are great storage for nail polish/lacquer. I have done photos of my helmers, perhaps I should do a video too?? mmmm goes to have a long hard think about it. Great post. x
ReplyDeleteI really thought you had a way bigger/different stash! Great to see the nailart drawer and I love your accent :).
ReplyDeleteI love your voice. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for showing your stash to us!
I also thought you must have more nail polishes, just around 500 at least. Thanks for showing your storage.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome collection! I love how neat and organized they all are!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually impressed at how low the number is! You do fabulous work with all 313 of those bottles :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear... I got excited when you showed a polish that I have too. Think I need to go back to bed!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome to see how you store your nail polishes :) I also have a gray helmer but it's too full I'm affraid :/
ReplyDeletei have 2 white helmers, one for my polishes (which is stuffed and too full atm >.<) and another one for my make-up :)
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with counting mine, and I've got 108 - a long way to go until I reach you ;)
ReplyDeleteI've got 152 nail polishes so far and have so many still on my wish list lol :-)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, every time you post a video I just love listening to your voice!! Lol:P thanks for sharing this-I've wondered how many you've had since I found you. (I'm probably your biggest fan^_^) it's nice to see a nail blogger who doesn't have an insane amount of polishes!

ReplyDeleteYou're doing way better than me at keeping the stash reasonable! At last count mine was creeping up on 500, which it may or may not have passed since... I'm gonna go with not quite, since I've given away a few polishes I wasn't so fond of, but I've also bought some new ones so I can't be sure!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had that much polish!! I keep trying to grow my collection, which is difficult when your favorite color is green so most of my polish is green, black, white and silver are my big colors too xD That and I'm not the greatest at being artistic.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar storage, a 3 drawer unit.
ReplyDeleteOn saturday i bought a helmer from ikea for storage of my polishes without seeing your post :o what a coincidence!
ReplyDeleteHey there, just wondering why you organize by brand instead of color?
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to see how other nail polish lovers keep their stash. I love my helmer too. You made me laugh 'chucking' things back in the drawers lol
