Stash Setup

Well well well… I really dunno if I wanna share this post lol. I know I don’t have as much polish as some people, but I have a LOT. Some of my family members are going to look at this and just shake their heads. But I love my polish. And my polish loves me. Or this is what I tell myself LOL.

Here’s a look at my stash and how I keep it. I plan on setting up a workstation upstairs in my room sometime this spring where I can spread things out and stop working on polish down here at my computer. So right now, this is temporary.

First up I have a three drawer unit upstairs.

Drawer One: I have plastic bins and crates I separate the polishes in. I’ve got my Sinful Colors and Revlons in one… My Zoyas in the second one… Orly in the third and China Glaze in the far right one.

Here’s a better look at it. I have a rack that would work for my China Glaze’s and Orly’s that I picked up for like NOTHING at a second hand store here in Indy. Once I get my setup in my room finished, I’ll probably find some way to utilize it so they’re out of there.

Drawer Two has my spare set of falsies that I’ve done, nail art paints, glitters and shards and what not. Then there’s Juleps and Deborah Lippmann’s in one, Spoileds in another and then some higher end misc polishes including my coveted Coach minis in another to the right.

There’s a better look at those. And BTW… If anyone wants these Julep polishes, let me know. Cause I’m thinking about getting rid of all of them save for Jane.

In the last drawer I have an assortment of polishes. L to R I have Sally Hansen; some misc polishes including some Essence polishes that I adore; some frankens that I’ve made and love; some other misc polishes I want to say they’re LA Colors or the like. I know there’s a couple Hard Candy polishes in there. The last one is OPI.

I found these pretties when I was going through stuff. Just a few of my many sets of falsies I’ve done.

Downstairs I have even more polishes lol. The ones here are my most coveted polishes.

We have a spare Rainbow Honey (only one I own and it’s too pretty to put up), my California Mango Cuticle Oil and one of my favorite perfumes from LynBDesigns. Plus there’s part of my Enchanted Beatles collection.

Another one of my Enchanteds; the beginnings of my Models Own collection and my four lonely butterLONDONs.

Then we have my British section… My Models Own and my Barry M’s that I got thanks to my dear step-mum.

Now we venture into my nail “cart” which is really just another set of drawers that’s smaller than the ones upstairs. These are the only ones my mom would let me bring down here lol.

Drawer One: Here I have a menagerie of things… LOTS of topcoats, some basecoats and fakies. Vaseline for when I do my water marbling. Even got some fake lashes in there too. In the little tub I have spare emery boards, buffers, lotions and toe separators.

SONY DSC

Drawer two has some acrylic paints I use for nail art along with some brushes that I use for the same thing. The little pink tub has some nail art decals, gems and other doodads. I’m going to have to start putting indies in this drawer, as you can see my third drawer is almost full.

This is my indie drawer (choir of angels inserted here!)

SONY DSC

First row is all my LynBDesigns polishes. Second row are my Kawaii’s, fourth and part of fifth row are all my Literary Lacquers, sixth row are my A Girl Obsessed polishes and my Cosmos Lacquer polishes, then it goes Hits Polish, The Lady Varnishes polishes, and just a whole bunch of different ones. The ones you can’t see behind all the full size bottles are my collection of minis. They take up the back part of my drawer. So yeah, like I said, I’m going to have to take over the second drawer now. There’s not enough room left lol.

So there’s my stash and how I keep it. Once I start re-doing my storage, I’ll post it again!

  1. Wow! They're amazing! I love your stash of polishes!!!!! I am so jealous. I'm working on a system to store or show off my itty bitty collection. I can't wait until this weather starts to warm up and I have more motivation. Thanks for sharing!!

    1. You're very welcome! Mine's nowhere near as posh as some I've seen... It's pretty much a work in progress.

  2. Looking good there, my friend. All of mine are in plastic envelope boxes, plastic shoe boxes, a pretty cardboard picture box my Mom let me have and all over my computer desk as I'm swatching by color then plan to store by brand, if I ever get my helmers, that is. I'm planning a trip to Cinci whenever winter gives it up - that's where the closest IKEA is to me. Gonna need 3, probably. Been a little too buy-happy lately with the indies. And yes, my family shakes their heads at me, too, but Mom always wants to see what I have on my nails.
