Wanna See my Stash?

Hi loves!!

  Yes, there will be a Muffin Monday today. It's just coming a little later. She picked me a good one too :) But she always does. Anywho. I took pics of my stash again because I like to go back and look though all my pics and see how my collection has grown. I remember when I bought my first 60 bottle rack and thinking that 60 was sooo many. I am now nearing 500 polishes and this is what that looks like.
Zoya, Orly and SpaRitual Rack
I store my polishes in Five wallracks and one Ikea Helmer. Three wallracks hold 90 polishes and Two of them hold 60. I got my racks from www.transdesign.com. They always ship super fast and they pack the reack really well so I don't have to worry about them breaking on their way here.
O.P.I rack
You guys can see my whole collection broken down by brand and there is also a link to a spread sheet up under the "My Collection" tab.
China Glaze and Color Club Rack
60 Ct. rack. This one holds my special one of's, drugstrore and international polishes.
Bettina rack!!!!
This Ikea Helmer drawer holds all my mini polishes.
Frankening polishes, one of's and frankens.
Pure Ice and Sinful Colors
Nicole by OPI
And that is my stash. I thought I'd share with you guys once again :). I will be back later with Muffin Monday. It goes on live today!

  11. Wowza! So many pretty polishes! Amazing! I like how you have them all sorted by brand :D.

  12. When you have that many polishes, how do you decide which to wear? Do you have old favorites you "forget" and later re-discover? I only ask because I'm around 50 polishes and I can take hours to choose a color! Your collection would drive me mad! :-)

  18. So jealous that you get a room for your polish! LOL!! Maybe in a few years when some of my kids go to college, I will fill it up with all things polish. You did a GREAT job organizing everything. That must be heaven to be able to walk right in there and have everything in it's place.

    :)

  20. Very nice view, now I only wish to have just a half of your stash ;)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Wow! Love the rack displays! I'm at over 200 polishes right now. Maybe someday my stash will be that large!

  22. I'm with Bonnie Rae - hub would have a coronary if I put all of my lacquers out where he could see them (and I only have ~100) ;\ lol Love looking at all of your pretties, thanks for "sharing" your stash with us! :)

    BTW, it looks like you've got DL Boom Boom Pow and Sephora by OPI Only Gold for Me - have you ever done a comparison swatch? (And if you have, can you please point me to that post?) Also, how do the formulas of the two compare? I've been lemming BBP for a while now, but OGFM might kill it for me for a half the price ;)

  23. Ok, I'm green with envy now! I love your stash, I wish I could have racks but they're crazy expensive and HTF here in Italy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. oh wow, so jealous, that is insane!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Your just so organized! I have mine organized in clear stackable containers that are labled...until I take out a polish to use it then I start to pile them in a box on my desk until I have to redo my system....which actually just got redone last week.

  26. WOW! OMG, I am sooo jealous of your stash! It is amazing. Thanks for sharing! SO much fun to drool over!

  27. I wish I could see my stash. I have no place to store over 800 bottles on wall racks. I am a lot older than most who follow and have collected for about 25 yrs with many purgings in that time...Now some I know I should have kept seeing what the next to impossible to find ones would go for. I do have them in an Access database. To keep mine out of the light I have them in Rubbermaid boxes that fit them all standing upright. Each box has a hard copy print out of what's in that box & an art wheel with swatches and corresponding #'s to the print out. Having the stash in an Access database makes it a lot more useful than just a spreadsheet as far as being able to manipulate my data. I can print out reports, find and do all kinds of various groupings that you cannot do in just a spreadsheet (Excel) program. I am really glad I set it up in a db. But still envious of your being able to look at so many pretty colors on your wall. Keep on collecting. It's a lot of fun and as you know, fun to share it. We all appreciate your sharing. Hope you get good napping and feel in the pink soon.

  31. omg, this looks like haven to any polish addict O_o
    i was looking for this racks, but the shipping to europe is really too much, too bad :-(

    ReplyDelete
  32. OMG is there anything better than Polish Stash *orn?

    I am sooooo jealous! I just transfered my babies (I think I'm over 100 now) to a plastic cart w/ drawers. I thought about getting wall racks but I worried that some wouldn't fit (due to unique size bottles, etc).

    Hubby has told me he'll build me something for them. I also want a little curio cabinet for my HTFs/Nfu Oh's to show off the pretty bottles.

    I don't feel bad anymore for my spreadsheet LOL

  33. TanyaRoss, I just swatched DL's BBP and TWAF and they are *gorgeous*. For what I paid for a certain #230....they are a bargain LOL

    Seriously it sounds outrageous to spend $20 on a bottle of polish but look how long polish lasts, and a bottle of good perfume would go for much more.

    At least that's how I justfy my DL purchases ;)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Doesn't even seem like that many! I bet these would look even more awesome if they were arranged chromatically. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love your blog! I was just really hoping you would do a post on caring for your nail polish. Best place to store them... what to do when they get thick... things like that! It would really be soooo helpful!lol =]
