Hiya Girlies! I have a special request post for you today. I have had several people ask me for a sneak peek inside my nail polish stash, which is currently creeping closer and closer to 1,450! Due to the size of my stash I decided to give it a post of its own.
Right now my stash is "organized" in 3 wall-mounted racks, 2 spinning "counter" racks, a craft box, 2 make-up caddies, and several shoe boxes. I am slowly but surely in the process of weeding out less-loved polishes to eventually make a blog sale / swap list.
Without further ado, The Stash:
Rack #1 Sephora by OPI, Nicole by OPI, Kleancolor, Nails Inc, more Kleancolor, Funky Fingers, NYX Girl, Gosh, Color Club, Deborah Lippmann, Chanel, and Clarins.
Rack #2: more Nicole by OPI, Butter London, Hits, Glitter Gal, Layla, Barielle, Nubar, Girly Bits, more Color Club, Essie, and Zoya
Rack #3: more Nicole by OPI, Nfu Oh, Wet N Wild (color icon, fantasy makers, and spoiled), more Zoya, Wet N Wild fast dry), and even more Zoya with 1 lonely Mac tucked in.
Now on to the spinning racks, which were a present from Santa. Thanks Santa!!
Spinning Rack #1 side 1: All OPI! Serena Williams duos, Pirates of the Caribbean, Katy Perry, Miss Universe and more.
side 2: more OPI including Suedes, Ulta exclusives, Nicki Minaj, and others

side 4: Designer Series, Summer for Shore, and others
Spinning Rack #2. This one was hard! I started out filling it with China Glaze but there wasn't enough room for them all and I KNOW I'll be getting more China Glaze, so now it is a bit of a hodge podge.

side 3: Finger Paints and Revlon
Side 3: Revlon (scented, matte, various) and Beauty Treats

Nail strips
Files and buffers / metal files and cuticle tools / stripers
and last, but not least, my tin of stamps, plates, and scrapers.
