My small but mighty collection is rapidly outgrowing my current storage options, and I have more arriving in the next few weeks! I have no idea how y’all handle collections of 100+ polishes 😅
Mine personally takes up 3 full shelves of a Target bookcase. With them stacked on trays on each shelf. There are hundreds of them. I’m afraid to count

This is exactly how mine was! I got a little 42 compartment storage box from Amazon that is double sided and holds all my bottles upright, I love it! My collection is around 30 right now so it’s perfect, we’ll see if it deters me from buying more 😅 (probably not)

*chuckle* Yup, this is how it starts. I was so proud of myself for recently destashing 17 polishes and I vowed to only keep polishes I love, and that can also fit in my organizer shelf (which fits 40 bottles).
I immediately turned around and bought 11 new colors and am about to buy another six LOL so I’m right back to where I started. I accept that this hobby will continue to leave me with more bottles than I intended.

Once upon a time, I had a box. Now I have an entire large book shelf dedicated to polish, lol. And I’m running out of room………
But I think I’m going to do some decluttering and low-buying for a while. I need to save and use what I have.

There are pretty cheap acrylic nail polish racks you can get on amazon. I got 3-4 of them before buying some drawers because I didn’t have the surface area for the racks anymore!

Sweet summer child 😉 I’m having issues with my 90-ish collection, I really can’t order more because I don’t have the space but I still will 🤣

Yes lol. I’m trying to go through my polishes to see what I can destash because I’m running out of space already

Heh. I use scrap booking drawers I got at Michaels, they’re 12″x12″, 3 drawers, lined with that non stick drawer liner. I have 4 of them. Prob the equivalent of 2 helmers.
Good luck out there!

My plan is to bankrupt my husband by getting polishes for birthdays, Xmas and anything else I can think of. Seems to be working so far and saving my wallet 😂

This looks like a fun personalized collection with lots of variety. I have 100 polishes but I wish I had less. I know myself better now with respect to what I enjoy wearing the most (not blues, apparently 😂). I will destash a bit in the summer.

I have a door… on wheels… both sides are covered in polish shelves

Mine started on top of my book shelf on cute little cake stands of varying height and silver trays. Now it has its own room full of Helmers lol.
I highly recommend saving shoe boxes
Don’t join the Discord…my wallet has been very sad since going on there and finding out about all the amazing indie brands that exist!
I end up in a low buy and am on an active mission to use my polishes since it can take awhile to finish a bottle!
I am on my third insulated carry case, each of which holds 72 polishes…
It’s fine. *nervous chuckle* you’re going to be fine.
Yeah, you gotta be the rider though!
I have more polishes than that in my untried pile even though I only bought one last year 😹
