Oy. I'm also still in painting, so that's why my "white" wall is actually two toned (paint and primer).
I think I'm going to organize by brand and then by color. I really like having them all by color because then I can look at dupes but I like having them by brand because the bottle sizes all line up. I'm weird, I know it.
Here's the current list of my polishes (also available on my sidebar) - listed are how many bottles of that brand and then the brand. I don't have my base/top/matte coats listed except for ManGlaze, but eventually I'm going to do those too.

And with China Glaze coming out with a whole 12 piece set for Christmas and then 12 pieces in the Spring with Anchors Away, well - let's say I'm going polish nuts. I'm also really wanting to get some Nubars and Nfu-Ohs but my wallet is begging me to wait. I'm supposed to close on my house tomorrow (it was supposed to be today), but things have been crazy. Thanks for reading and I'm looking to get some swatches done now that I have my polish out again!
The racks look good! Sorry about the broken one. I cant wait for China Glaze Spring either - there is a certain dusty blue I have my eye on.

ReplyDeleteI have eight, but am still but a fledgling collector. I find new shades of theirs I want literally every day.
Thanks for a great blog!
Yeah I'm going slightly nuts with everything - I started to organize this morning and I didn't realize that I had so much until I started sorting!
ReplyDelete225??! & It's only ChinaGlaze?? WOW! I can't ever imagine myself storing that many polishes in my room!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
