I started collecting actively a year ago or so, I bought the odd polish here and there earlier, but it has been an obsession for about that long. Once I found nail etailers like Transdesign and Amazon ones too, the stash grew steadily. I need better organization for sure and am still working out how to store all my babies. How do you store yours?
I tried to categorize these into colour groups, thought that would be easiest, but as I went along, I saw that some should of been added to other piles and so on. You can click on the image to enlarge it.
Also, my OPI Pamplona Purple rolled off the bed and smashed into pieces on the floor, so that sucked.. these bottles are not very thick, the smashing sound was pretty good too, so RIP Pamplona Purple :(.
Blues:
(whoops reverse the labels om OPI no room for the blues and Suzy says feng shui pleasee!)
Teals:
(that should read CG blue sparrow and sexy in the city, not SH)
Light Purples:
(ignore the dark purple on the bottom, it shouldn't be there and thus not labelled)
Peaches:
Yellows:
Berry:
Pinks:
Corals:
Greens/Mint:
Taupes/Mauve:
Browns/Gray:
Purples:
Reddy Purples:
Glitters:
Golds:
Darks:
(on far right, is orly Goth, not CG)
Neutrals:
Reds:
(the last two on the top, shouldn't be in this group!)
Plums:
(my biggest category I think, I love my plums)
That took ages to put together.. that's like 98% of my polishes, I think I may have forgotten a couple. Also it was my first time using Gimp for imac so I had some issues getting this together. I count..223! Eek.
You know you are polish-obsessed when:
- You see a new OPI/China Glaze/Essie colour and immediately can think of 3-4 colours already in your collection that look just like that one.
- You look forward to new collections and seek out swatches online constantly.
- There are always upcoming packages that you are waiting for in the mail.
- You don't know where to put it all
- You have "backups" or accidental multiples of the same colour.
