My stash :) warning pic heavy!

Hello, dear readers and followers, long time no hear from me:)

The work requires more of me than I've thought, so sorry for the lack of post :(

In the meantime I got a new storage place for my nail polishes, they were getting so many so I needed a new home for them. I bought a red metall container in Mömax (Austria) which I placed in our living room.

The total number of all polishes is 174, not so high right;)

Let's take a look at the collection.
The first pic is the stash before I began to re-organize it.



The second pic, my french manicure polishes:


My purples:


My pinks and berries:


 
My holos:


 
My reds:


My blues and greens:


My taupes, nudes and peachy colours:


My brown, black, silver and white colours:



My Konad stamping nail polishes (plus some other rather old ones):


My other nail polishes which I use primarily for stamping:

 
There're also 2 polishes in orange and coral, though I forgot to take pics of them.
 
My new ones (ready to be swatched):
 

Polishes which I tried but I don't like them anymore:) so they're going to be sold or given away:)


My treatments and top coats with some special polishes:


My collection of treatments, top coats, konad special polishes, image plates and other stuff needed for stamping organized in the drawer:



Other polishes which need to be tried and swatched:

 
That's it,  how do you organize your polishes? By colours, brands, types or any other way??

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished weekend:*

  2. I try to organize and it all gets jumbled again because I have 3 daughters who love to play in my polish but never put it away the way they should. So I have taken to putting a sticker on the top of any polish I have swatched already green if I hated it, yellow if I liked it, pink if I loved. No sticker means untried.

  4. I organize my polishes by color, then brand. I also have a separate container for untried polishes.

  5. i have two containers that i use, one for hands, and one for toes...this is my most recent "organization system" that doesnt make me feel too guilty for owning the amount that i own.

  9. I organize mine by color too. Right now I use small rubbermaid containers. I'm going to have to split out the blue and greens and the mauves and pinks. lol They have cramped quarters. ;)

  12. awesome collection :D also, i have a question; does that silver Pure Ice polish work for stamping?? Because I have a Pure Ice polish and it works for stamping, and my friend has one that works for stamping. And I want a silver polish for stamping but I can't seem to find one... so I was wondering if that worked... anyway, thanks :)

  13. Wow!! I recently placed them in an Ikea high cabinet and sorted them (in a wonderful pull-out storage unit) by color, too. I didn't thought I've got so many blues and green!
    The untrieds are in a cardboard box on the bottom, waiting for my goodwill and a sunny day!

    Kelly, thanks a lot:* The silver one isn't Pure ice, it's SOnia Kashuk Smoke&mirrors, and I haven't tried it yet for stamping.

    Mae, thanks dear:*

    smALTy, thank you:+ you never know how many you have untill you start sorting them out;)
