Check out my vlog channel: bit.ly/kellimarissavlog
Hi everyone! Today I have a fun one for you - I am giving you a tour of my giant nail polish collection of over 3,000 polishes! I'll show you each drawer of polish and let you know how I organized it by brand and color, plus at the end I thought it would be fun to share some stats on my collection like my top 5 brands and how many indies vs mainstream :) I also shared about how many polishes I can store in each drawer based on brand!
INFO ABOUT MY SETUP:
The drawers are the Ikea Helmer drawers and I have 7 of them!
My acrylic nail polish tower - amzn.to/3tdzydy *
Salt lamp - amzn.to/3GPpivG *
Crystal shelf - amzn.to/3GQhKbU *
Fake candles (they're made of wax but they're flameless) - amzn.to/479MuiO *

    The BEST polish mixer I've ever used is a lab analog vortex mixer with a cup head. You can pick up good priced used ones that are still in great shape, and nothing mixes chunky, thick glitters better! I have a few cream colors that stay streaky no matter how much you hand shake them, and my brick of a mixer shakes them right up.

    As of now I have 185. My top was around 350 but my brain doesn’t like to have more than I can wear. I usually go through all of my polishes in a year to use them and that helps me let go of some. I want to keep it under 200 so I’m trying to be more picky. I store mine in an over the door shoe holder.

If you'd look in the pink drawer for that medium coral shade, then you should put it there, where it makes sense to you. Then you'll always find what you're looking for.

    I love this! I have the hardest time trying to decide how to organize my polishes. I rearranged them regularly because I like them by color but I struggle with where to put multichromes, thermals, multicolor flakes, etc. I also like jellies separate since I use those differently. I do love the helmer units for storing them, and for a lot of my other storage. I don't know why people are so into the Alex drawers when Helmer exists!

    I am obsessed with your collection! 😍😍😍😍 But I can also imagine how overwhelming it can be to own so many shades😅 It is really nice that you donate some extras you have ❤ And I loved the stats at the end!! It is wild that over 200 bottles of a brand is such a small percentage in the overall collection😂 I would definitely love to see more stats if you're ever in the mood for it. I am also cataloging the polishes I own, but what I do is I just write the names down as I wear them cause my collection grew so it would be hard to sit down and do it in one go 😅 That story with the Orly founder is so cute 😂 but I can totally imagine the pain it was xD I had sth similar happen to me at a parent evening in a kindergarden I work in and I just wanted to disappear from the face of the earth lol

    Omg I am obsessed with having a nail polish spreadsheet. I have tons of formulas, automated formatting, and stats because spreadsheeting is a legit hobby of mine and I am ridiculous. I started off with the spreadsheet that Hillary from mediocre manis shared. Also Holo Taco fits PERFECTLY in Helmers if you store them with the box and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that because I just assume it was intentional. Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection!!!

    Every year or so I go through my polishes and declutter those that are dried out or can’t be saved. I have OPI polishes that are 17 years old. There is something so satisfying seeing bottles of colors nicely organized. I also prefer blues and purples but I’m getting into nudes a lot. My nail color usually reflects my mood so dark is my go to. 💕🐾💕💅🏻

My old Essie Marshmallow had turned into separated, gooey gunk! I'll get a new one with the newer brush. I keep the number of polishes to 18 plus 2 base coats, 1 top coat, etc.

    That was fun, seeing how you organized it. My collection is much smaller, but I still have way too many. My top drawer is top & base coats, some specialty top coats, magnetics, crackles and odd bottles from other brands. Second drawer is Orly, Sunful Color & Miracle gels from Sally Hansen. After is my China Glaze & OPI, then it's Essie, Color Club, Zoya and other square bottles. After is Revlon, other Sally Hansens & Wet n Wild. The last drawer is for duplicates, liner brush nail polish, and other minis. I use that space on the sides to store extra nail files or smaller polishes, like minis or stamping polishes. its not ideal, I'd rather get another Helmer, but I'm not allowed lol.

    This was very satisfying. I love the idea of the Helmer as they can pull out all the way. I have a Winsome Drawer unit I got on Amazon. I love it besides the drawers don't come out all the way so it's hard to see the back of the drawer. I thought about going to a Helmer but I'd lose a lot of space. I can fit 140 Holo Taco in one drawer.

    I used to have a nail polish spreadsheet! Not sure of your exact needs, but I included name/brand/short description/have i swatched it on IG?(plus a hyperlink to the post)/when did I wear it last?/how many coats does it need? ... I destashed most of my collection this past year and largely stopped buying so much, so the spreadsheet isn't really necessary to me anymore, but it helped A LOT while my collection was in the 1000-1500 realm!

    Your nail polish collection is amazing ! I agree about I Scream Nails. While they are cute, the bottle is impractical. If you open the drawer a little too roughly, they all fall over 😢 Also, I couldn't help but notice you don't have any Emily de Molly ! I highly recommend them and would love to see you review them as part of Small Brand Spotlight. They are a small brand based out of Camberra, Australia and they also have a US website. They have beautiful finishes and their formula is 💣
