Hi everyone! Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "Share Your Polish Collection." I always find it interesting to see how other people organize their polish! My collection isn't that big... Well for a nail blogger! I guess it's all relative... Bigger than a normal person's for sure! I think I probably have maybe 200-300 bottles but I haven't counted in a while.
First I have a nail polish display rack that I bought on Amazon years ago. Once upon a time this held my entire collection! Now I keep it on my polish desk to hold commonly used items - stamping plates and supplies, liquid latex, base coats, top coats, a good black and white base polish, stamping polish, nail file, clippers, toe separators, cuticle oils.
The rest of my polish collection is held in one white Ikea Helmer. I've been meaning to decorate it forever... I even bought drawer liners for it about half a year ago... but that's still unopened lol
The polishes are organized by color/type. I used to have an untried drawer but I found it annoying to look in two places when I was looking for a particular shade... my untrieds pile was a bit crazy for a while! Now I just mark any untried polishes (or polishes I haven't photographed for the blog yet) with a small hair tie to try to remind myself to use it!
Drawer #1 - Red/orange/pink/purple/coral/peach etc.
Drawer #2 - blue/green/teal/aqua etc... this one's getting full! :D
Drawer #3 - glitter toppers and my few yellows
Drawer #4 - mini sets, wear alone glitters, empty bottles
Drawer #5 - holos, metallics, black, white, nude, treatments
Drawer #6 - texture polishes, iridescent shimmer/flakie toppers, other
A lot of them! I keep mine in a metal suitcase plus locked in big jars :D
ReplyDeleteI meant these that are the most frequently used, are located in jars on my desk.
ReplyDeleteOh that's what I use the display rack for... Except it always gets way too full haha :)
DeleteReally neat to see how you store and organize your collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa :)
DeleteNice collection :) I also like to see how other people organize their collections.
ReplyDeleteWow it is super interesting this post! I used to keep mine into a library (But I do not have many) :D
ReplyDeleteNice! Helmers are the best for the polish fan :-D
ReplyDeleteYeah definitely! :)
Deletethis is so cool...great post...I keep mine in boxes since not enough space at my apartment. I need to get some Ikea drawers too :)
ReplyDeleteI had mine in boxes before it got too crazy haha
DeleteI put a anti-slip paper in each drawer, you need to do this so polishes won't move when you open it
ReplyDeleteYeah I bought the paper but still haven't opened it LOL
DeleteNice collection! :) Mine is oganized by brends.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marry :) Maybe I'll switch to organizing by brand if/when my collection gets bigger... Right now I have too many different brands going on and not enough polishes of most brands so I think it'll look a bit random
DeleteWow you have a lot, way more than me. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHaha way less than most nail bloggers though!
DeleteNice collection, really good organised :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow!!! You many so many polishes... Way more than mine. I just have a box full. Nice collection :D
ReplyDeleteHehe thanks it's grown over the years!
DeleteWhat a nice collection :)
ReplyDeleteI love to read posts like this, it's always so interesting to see other people's collections! I'm using Helmers, too :)
Thanks Nicole! Yeah helmers are awesome! :)
DeleteI love your organization! I'm thinking about changing mine to be sorted by color as well so that I can find polishes easier. I feel like I end up forgetting about polishes when I have them sorted by brand.
ReplyDeleteYeah sorting by color is definitely easier when you're searching for a specific shade... By brand looks nicer and is more compact to store though since the bottles would be the same size... I keep debating this haha
