Today, we have a different type of post to share for Twinsie Tuesday. We're sharing our nail polish collections. I'm really excited to see everyone's post. I have lots of pics, so let's get to it!
First up, I have two small baskets that I keep at my bedside. These are polishes I plan to wear "soon."
When I was taking pictures of these two baskets, it reminded me of a meme Lakeisha shared a while back that her hubby created.
I still laugh whenever I see this meme! Sometimes I feel bad for these polishes. I'm always moving them around, picking them up, saying that I will finally wear them and then a new polish comes (or polishes for review). At least they're ahead of all the others the I have in my untrieds.
Next are two wall racks I have in my room. These are some of my oldest polishes.
In my room, I also have some minis and glitters that I keep on my dresser.
The polishes in my room are the ones I typically go to for nail art or my pedicures.
I also have another wall rack that's not in my room that I received from Noly who creates personalized nail polish racks on etsy.
This rack holds a bunch of indies as you can see ;0).
In that same room, I also have three helmers.
Now, I have to say that these are NOT all full. I recently took out all of my untrieds (more on that later).
The five plastic containers and the small white basket hold untried polishes. I got those from Target.
Here's a close up of how I label my helmers. They're sorted by brand. Below, I opened a few drawers as proof that they're not full ;0).
In addition to the plastic containers with my untrieds and my two baskets near my bedside, I also have two shoe boxes and a large basket with my untrieds.
Why would you have your untrieds in a basket and shoe boxes, you ask? Well, I recently created a stash list at the urging of Lakeisha (a very long process, might I add) and I realized I had a serious problem. Yes, I only just realized it! I kept buying polish faster than I could wear them. So, as a reminder that I need not buy anymore, I leave them out and in my face. Trust me, even if I see something I really like, I don't even have the urge to spend because I just think of all of these polishes I have to get through.
As a result of going through my stash to create a list, I discovered a few duplicates (life of a polish addict). So I figured, now would be a better time than any to do a little giveaway.
Zoya Kieko, China Glaze Angel Wings, Sinful Colors Rise & Shine and Liquid Glam Lacquer June Bug
You can win these four polishes by guessing how many polishes you think I have in my stash (I actually know the number now ;0) ). So, the closest to the correct number without going over wins! Just leave your guess in the comments. Deadline to enter is Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 9:00am EST.Hope you guys enjoyed this post! How do you organize your stash?
