I don't think I've posted my collection in over a year so I figured I'd share how it's grown. I used to have it all on plastic display racks but outgrew them in 2024 I believe.
First off, I have no idea how many I have. It must be 600+ by this point. The two white Helmers in my guest room are polishes, broken out by color family in each drawer. They are very full. Full to the point that I can't fit any more and have now started accumulating "overflow" in my office. I keep telling myself I'll de-stash one day and I refuse to buy another Helmer so they are starting to pile up. Those plastic bins are manicure supplies (cotton pads, cotton balls, orange sticks, etc.) … when tariffs hit last year I went on a buying binge to get things while they were cheap.
The black Helmer in the office by my workstation is all my base coats, top coats, nail treatments, and toppers. This used to be my work from home desk, but when my company forced return to office I decided to repurpose it. Before this I used to paint my nails using a TV tray for a work surface if you can believe it.
