Updated Stash Shots and Spreadsheet

I finally updated my STASH LIST and stash pictures on MY STASH PAGE

I am up to 313 bottles of polish. To everyday people who see my collection, this is a ton. Compared to most of my polish friends...this ain't shit. :) 

It sure does feel like a lot to me. Like I said yesterday, I made an agreement with myself that I would not outgrow this Helmer. I'm not on a No-buy, I'm on a Selective-buy. 

Here are pics of my lovely red Helmer from IKEA and the contents.









How many bottles are you up to?? 
What's the number that would categorize one as an addict? :P

    1. They are so comfy for my toes. I never liked those one piece comb looking ones. They hurt my feet. Those are perfect. And very cheap!! And you'll catch up. Try hitting up drugstore sales and doing swaps. :)

    1. Eh...the Helmer is over-rated honestly. I've seen a lot of other people's storage solutions that I like better than mine. :)

  8. I only have around 130. I'd love to have a Helmer, but it is not anywhere even near my budget.

    1. Yeah, they are only $40 in store. I don't live near an Ikea so I paid $20 for it to be shipped. I think there are definitely cheaper storage solutions that I personally like better. Try making one yourself. I've seen a lot of people make shelving units from cardboard. You can do a lot with a little creativity and will.

  9. I'm so jealous of this setup. I only have about 100 polishes and sometimes feel overwhelmed with how many I have. . . Don't get me wrong; that doesn't mean that I don't want more polish, just that I need more fingers on which to paint the polish

  11. Soo... I guess I'm an addict. I'm at 316 :\ It's all Etsy's fault.. too many indie polishes! I use Melmers for my stash. I don't *love* it, though. Dumb drawers SQUEAK like no other.. trying to remedy the problem. But you can't beat the cost. They're cheap to begin with but when paired with a Michael's coupon it's unbeatable.

    I'm almost at the point where I have so many polishes.. I don't know which one to wear! Whatever is a girl to do?! :)

    1. Yeah, if there were castors on the drawers of the helmer, I think it could be perfect. And Indies are my weakness right now too. :P

  12. I have 56 with 3 more on the way today. Just getting started on building a collection, haha. Love your storage arrangement :)

  13. i think I'm just over 80, I haven't counted again. Too many to fit in my box, how much does one of these cost?! Personally I think yuo can be an addict and only have 10! It always starts small, who knows when you actually become addicted.

    1. I agree...we all start off pretty innocently. :) There is a link in the post to IKEA where I purchased the Helmer. They are $39.99 in the store. But since I don't live near one, I had to pay $20 to ship. So grand total $60. Not cheap, but not horrible either.
