I figured it was time to update my storage and collection page, but I've been waiting until I got everything put away. I realized that's never going to happen. So this is without about 50 - 75 polishes that are always somewhere else - collections I'm swatching, new stuff that hasn't been put away, etc. But this will have to do for now.
Since I still haven't gotten around to building the other shelves or clearing up wall space to hang them, I went looking for something else and I found these great little wire racks for $6.95 each at Walmart in the bath section! I cut out little pieces of lightweight cardboard (actually I cut up those priority mail envelopes from the USPS that were sent to me by mistake when I ordered the flat rate bubble mailers) to line the bottoms and the worked out great!
So here are just some photos of my storage and collection...

I would take a pic of my desk and work space, but it's such a mess I don't dare.

ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteImpressive!
ReplyDeleteMother of God... Uh-mazing!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I'm just gonna sit over here, drooling, for a couple of hours. Thanks for sharing this amazing collection!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason why we need a bigger place!! I would love to have my polishes like that, but with 2 kids who have to get into everything, it's not going to happen :D
ReplyDeleteLove how your polishes are stored <3
Omy gosh I am extremely jealous of you! what beautiful storage! I love the wall mounted shelving unit! It really is a wonderful way to display all your pretties! <3 x
ReplyDeleteWowser! Fabulous collection and storage pics
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. Drool. I have a little over 200 polishes, and have outgrown the storage drawers I was using. This would be so awesome...but alas I have very little wall space, and a husband who may not be too enthused about me prominently displaying my dirty little secret - haha. This looks great. I am sooooo jealous!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is A LOT of polishes!!! :D
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take to dust all of them...? ;)
Ahhhh I love this so much.
ReplyDeleteI've got total polish envy!! Awesome collection!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have racks also and for me they're the best!
ReplyDeleteAmazing collection, very impressive! Love those wall racks!

hummm mine are all in shoes boxes , love your storage!
ReplyDeleteSo since I am in the major fall organizing-shelf building mode I went to Wally World and got one of those little racks!! Love it so much Sheila, thanks!!! Its perfect for top and base coats and untrieds!!!
ReplyDeleteSUPER AWESOME!!!! I don't even have a third of the amount that you have LOL. I maybe have 150 polishes and I keep them in a big pink 3 drawer storage thingy LOL....very impressive Sheila!
ReplyDeleteDid you purchase/build those wall racks? I'm actually in need of more storage~
ReplyDeleteYes I did - they were super simple! http://www.pointlesscafe.com/2012/03/nail-polish-storage-finis.html
DeleteAs silly as it sounds, looking at your collection makes me drool. And then wish I had wall space for racks to look at all my pretties.
ReplyDelete*DROOL* I love Polish P*rn!!! I was planning on having my husband build me a custom cabinet for my polishes (they are in a helmer and tote right now) but seeing those walls racks really turn me on ;)
ReplyDeleteIs it sad that I can look at your pictures and pretty much name every brand just by the shape of the bottle/cap? LOL
My daughter leaves for college in a year....I was planning on using her room as a guest/craft room but now...I *might* just add my beauty collection in there as well! LOL MY ROOM! (don't worry, she will still be able to sleep in the room, but she won't be allowed to complain about my choice of decor LOL)
I love it when my favorite bloggers post pix like these. I show them to my DH so my 300 polishes don't look so bad! lol
ReplyDeleteI have a smaller than a Helmer, 4 drawer night stand sort of thing similar in style to your woven grass baskets (the grass is woven over metal rod framing), I got at World Market. I deliberately bought something smaller to limit the number of polishes I could have (ahahaha, dumb girl), but it's now full and then some. Time to weed or buy another. The nice DH offered to build me some like yours, but I have nowhere to hang them and we live in earthquake land. I'm afraid even a little quake would have most of them on the floor.
Wow! My bf thinks I have a problem with my 200 bottles of polishes! His jaw would drop if he saw this lol. My collection seems like a tiny handful compared to this lol
ReplyDeleteLove your storage shelves! I did want to ask about how many bottles those wire racks hold? Right now I have my untrieds in a big underbed box, which while keeping them all where I can find the ones I have yet to wear, makes it difficult to see everything haha.
ReplyDeleteThey hold about 60 regular polishes like China Glaze - 4 rows of 5 on each of the three little shelves.
