My nail polish stash - take #2!

Hey everyone~! I went out to buy a new container to hold my nail polishes in since my old one was overfilling - I actually had to keep nail polish on my desk because I couldn't fit any more into it :P I thought it'd be nice to share my stash again (you can view my first one here) - I think my polish collection has grown by around 60 bottles. It's not much by blogger standards, but considering I never meant to become a hoarder (I like being picky, it's better for my wallet :P), I think it's grown considerably. Especially since it's been just a little under 6 months only!

Here's all my nail polish together in a heap. I've always wanted to do that, haha :D It was totally coincidental, but I love how the Arezia polish is right at the top of the pile - it's the polish that started this infatuation ♥

As usual, all my photos are clickable to be viewed in higher definition. I purposely left some of them larger this time :)

Now they're all grouped by brand; see the Australian-European-Asian polish army versus the US ones? :P (Ahh, I didn't realise I had placed the Essence nail polish on the wrong side - traitors!)

Breaking it down~

If you want to know the names of the polish, just let me know! Or, you can check out my spreadsheet here, which I've updated :)

China Glaze

Zoya

Orly

Color Club

OPI

Essie, Finger Paints, Misa, Nicole by OPI, Nubar
I totally need two bottles of Nubar 2010 - I was lucky enough to win one from a giveaway after I had just bought one. Normally I hate having two of the same polishes but I love my flakies so, so much <3

Claires, Jordana, L.A. Colors, Sinful Colors

Maybelline, Revlon, Rimmel

Essence, Sally Hansen

Alessandro, Arezia, Eclipse, Golden Rose

Ulta3
By far, the most number of polishes I have in a brand. I keep harping on about this, but really, Ulta3 polishes are the cheapest you can find in Australia. Seriously, $2.25 a bottle? *dies* And I love bin diving :)

Australis, Face of Australia

Le Beauty, Mode Cosmetics, Sportsgirl

Chi Chi, DB by Savvy, Glitter Gal, mwah, TBN

BYS

And finally sorted into the new container. Look at how much free space there is! :D Need to fill it all up now, hehe. Left = polishes purchased in Australia/Hong Kong. Right = polishes purchased online - ie. not readily available for me :(

Before & After~ I had already taken some polishes out of the first container cos they just wouldn't fit :P

Phew, that was a whole lotta photos - all 184 bottles in my stash. Hope I didn't kill your bandwidth :P

Polish spreadsheet

Although I can hardly say I'm an organised person, when it comes to nail polish, I'm super organised :P. I have a spreadsheet typed up on my laptop of all the nail polish in my collection. I thought I'd share the spreadsheet since people have been commenting on my giveaway form for some stash posts :). Photos of my stash can be seen here. There is also a tab I've added at the top of my page so that it will be easy to find this spreadsheet.

My nail polish stash :)

One of the requests in my giveaway form is to post about my nail polish stash :). I've been on a no buy since the beginning of this year (and it's working! I haven't bought any polishes even though I've been tempted on several occasions :P) so I thought now would be a good time to share my stash.

I keep my polishes in a clear rectangle container which I can shove under my bed and out of the way :P. Currently it holds about 125 bottles of polish; my untrieds are stored in another smaller container next to my bookshelf. All photos are taken indoors under natural light. They are most certainly not all colour accurate - some polishes came out fine in the photos and others were just...woah o__o. So please don't use these as references :).

My Ulta3 polishes. They are by far the cheapest polish brand I've come across in Australia, hence why I have so many of them haha.

Sportsgirl nail polish.

Savvy by DB and Eclipse nail polish. Eclipse is a Korean nail polish brand found in Morning Glory. Ooh, their shops now also stock Tony Moly! I've definitely had to force myself away from the nail polish section since the colours aren't terribly unique. But they're still really pretty!

Other Australian brand polishes -Chi Chi, TBN, Jay Jays, BYS :).

And now my China Glaze collection :). The polishes are definitely not colour accurate here, especially the second and third ones from the left on the bottom row.

OPI

Color Club

Zoya

And other miscellaneous U.S polish brands - Orly, Misa, Nubar, Claires, Essie.

Maybelline NY Coloramas

Miscellaneous brands - Rimmel, Revlon, Maybelline

L.A. Color, Sally Hansen and an old red polish from my mum. I'm not quite sure of the brand :P. And whoops, I doubled up on a picture of Claires mood polish.

Sinful Colors. Arezia, Alessandro and the Golden Rose were purchased in Hong Kong.

And finally, my untrieds box and where I keep some of my nail art supplies.

Whew, that was quite a number of photos to get through, I hope you enjoyed this stash post :P. Take a look at my giveaway if you haven't done so already!
