Organization help!!! So as much as I'm the antithesis of a girly girl, I love art, creating art and suddenly polish! There's something about all these tiny bottles filled with little pieces of the rainbow that is irresistible, it's like each tiny bottle is filled with a small piece of the universe that is just waiting to become a glorious work of art that I cannot tear my eyes away from…I'm posting because I think I just spent 25 minutes with a magnet just spinning magnetics in the sunlight and falling into an abyss of my own making…granted I break for lunch in about 15 minutes but somehow I just got lost in the bottles…the hubby says I need to start a business and call my polish Slacker Lacquer and for some reason (I think it was supposed to be a jibe but it just hits in my mind-not a si gel idea why…lol!) but I digress, I came here for help organizing this mess because it's actually is giving me anxiety…it used to be so neat, clean and a pleasure to sit at my desk and get down to business: swatching, reorganizing, selecting the polishes I wanted to use that day, etc..it used to be just a few bottles, then a dozen, then more and more and MORE! I can't stop and it's ok, my collection can grow, I just need a tiny (read: BIG) hand organizing! I love being able to see the polishes so drawers are out…shelves? Things that hang? How do you organize a growing collection? #

I feel this so hard. I just bought a case for my polishes and after I finished organizing them I was like “… oh my”
I have 6 of [these clear carry cases](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PM1DZNL?th=1) that I got before I finally accepted I needed a Helmer (or two). They hold 48 polishes each, and they’re clear enough that I can see at a glance who I want to play with. They fit nicely into Kallax shelving if you have any of those — I was keeping mine in a couple of the cubes with fabric in front to block any sunlight from fading them (the shelves were near a window), but now they’re lined up in my closet beside my Helmers.
I still use some of them to keep my stamping polishes and cremes organized and easy-to-see. My Helmers are getting full, though, so I might have to start transfering my jellies out too.
