Хобби
I have 70 polishes & I am already a bit overwhelmed. I'm just going to live vicariously through this video. 😅
Haha honestly that's a big collection imo! A new color to wear almost twice a week for a whole year 😋 I am definitely overwhelmed with this much LOL
@@KelliMarissa I'm going to *try to use up some of my bottles. At least the mini sized ones.
I know, I’m at 75 right now, and I’m vowing not to have a Helmer in my future 😂
That's a decent amount...selective and curated 😉
@@KelliMarissaI got some new nail polish but I don't get Wade that's a lot of new Polish. You need a lot of nail polish remover ❤❤❤
I'm a spreadsheet nerd, so I'd love to make your catelogue! I need to catalogue my own, actually!
All mine are in Excel. Not only is it so satisfying but also useful. I just referred to it today before making a polish order and saved myself from purchasing a duplicate.
I'm old fashioned. I have everything written in longhand. By brand then alphabetical then by color. It took me months to do. But was very satisfying once I was done
I have mine organized on Lacquergram. I always have to talk myself out of buying more because 200 is getting a bit out of hand. 😅
I appreciate the small and indie brand features you do. I typically would not come across some of those brands in my local stores so it's nice to see them through your channel.
when i was about 14/15 i had a collection of 500+ polishes and i now have under 90. this makes me miss having a bigger collection so much! is it crazy that i would gladly watch a video of you swatching every polish?
This is why I love the internet lol finding people who would be interested in seeing every single polish I own is a dream come true because I also want to swatch every polish I own 😂
We will absolutely watch that!
@@KelliMarissai meaannnn, we will definitely not complain if you did 🥹
I am obsessed with your Indie nail polishes. I was thrilled to see your Enchanted nail polish collection. I miss them! Also, I loved all the green Cirque polishes you have! Yaasss!!!
I am so happy looking at that drawer of green Cirques haha!!
Same...I have 2 enchanted
@@cozeydaze I wish I had bought more Enchanted nail polishes but I didn’t realize they were ending. I have 6 polishes. ❤️
Before I watch: I love the thumbnail! It gives me Lisa Frank vibes!
Oh thank you haha! 💜🩷
I did buy a paint shaker from that online A store. It’s the best for mixing. I love the drawer system, however; it will drive me crazy not being able to see the colors dead on. My mood picks my manicure colors. Thanks for the inventory organized share.
I'm excited to catalog my polishes so I can see all the different colors and finishes better haha!!
The BEST polish mixer I've ever used is a lab analog vortex mixer with a cup head. You can pick up good priced used ones that are still in great shape, and nothing mixes chunky, thick glitters better! I have a few cream colors that stay streaky no matter how much you hand shake them, and my brick of a mixer shakes them right up.
Hey kelly, great video. One nail polish girlie to another you should move the nail polish removers away from the power cords, or place them in a bin so if they spill in the rug when youre out it wont be a fire danger. ❤
That's definitely a smart tip!! ❤️
How do you decide which polish gets donated? Are they dupes? Require 4 coats? Too thick?
I’m always curious how your organizational thought process works. ❤
Yeah, the numbers can multiply real soon even if you dont swatch because there are so many different finishes and colors. I have about 70 and I find them difficult to organize. Kudos to you for managing all of them❤
Trust me, it gets disorganized really fast haha!! 🤣
I guessed 4000!! So many! Would love to see those in person! Any plans on filming an ILNP office tour? Seeing them mix polishes or how they pack an order would be amazing ❤
One of the best collections I seen. I enjoyed this video, your indie drawers are a dream 😊 I think I have the same amount of mooncat and bees knees as you 😆
Oh gosh thanks haha!! It's a pretty hefty collection! 🥰
I went to an educational event at Orly and Jeff Pink spoke to the group ~ it was awesome. He talked about how the French manicure started and answered questions. Special memories!
That must have been incredible!! I am dying to read his book, I bet his story is so interesting!
I have recently passed the 1k mark 😊 My new year resolution is to “try” to do a low buy for 2024 & do more nail stamping 🤞🏻🤞🏻
When you do the full catalog, i would love to get a color breakdown - how many reds, blues, whites, etc.
Love your rainbow kingdom of nail polish!🙂🌈
Hahah thank you!! 🥰
I wish you had a Facebook group page so we could all show you our set ups too!
That's what I said. It would be cool to see how we all organize and store our polish. I have 810 bottles.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Oh my God....Incredibile collection!!!! Beautiful very Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your Jeff Pink anecdote--ADORABLE! 🍣🥢
In honor of this video, I had sushi for dinner tonight WITH CHOPSTICKS and I promise I didn't drop any of it 🤣🤣🤣
@@KelliMarissa lmao Perhaps you became an expert as of that moment. 💜😹
😍😍😍😍😍 this is a dream! Omg! So coool! So many rainbows! 🌈
I want to swim in it lolol
As of now I have 185. My top was around 350 but my brain doesn’t like to have more than I can wear. I usually go through all of my polishes in a year to use them and that helps me let go of some. I want to keep it under 200 so I’m trying to be more picky. I store mine in an over the door shoe holder.
This blows the mind🤯. You Rock Kelli 🎉
Haha it's a giant collection!! ❤️❤️
I love this! I have the hardest time trying to decide how to organize my polishes. I rearranged them regularly because I like them by color but I struggle with where to put multichromes, thermals, multicolor flakes, etc. I also like jellies separate since I use those differently. I do love the helmer units for storing them, and for a lot of my other storage. I don't know why people are so into the Alex drawers when Helmer exists!
I wouldn’t criticize a thing, I think you organized them perfectly. I own 1800+, and I’d love for my collection to look like yours. I keep mine in the 48pc plastic carrying cases with handles, so I can see what I’m looking for. I love it. Its organized by brand tho, so it’s not as beautiful as your rainbow 🌈
Hi, do you actually try to wear all of these polishes or is it just something fun you enjoy collecting?😊
I loved this so much!! 🤩 can't even explain why, it just feels good ☺
The next time my husband or mom (she had a collection over 100 before she decluttered it) claims that I own too many polishes, I'll show them this video 😁 Cause I only have 2 Helmers and about 500-600 polishes not included base and top coats 😅 OPI is also the brand I have the most from with 4 drawers dedicated 😁
Hahaha yesss anytime someone tells you that you don't need more polish, show them this and say this is a normal amount to own 😂😂😂 its the ultimate trick!
I start purging at 400. I have no idea how you keep it all straight. You are a better woman than I am. Merry Christmas!!!
Haha! It's definitely too much to keep track of 🤣 Merry Christmas to you!! ❤️🎄
This so much fun! Perfect timing as I'm in bed convalescing from a back surgery. I just got myself some popcorn... 😁🍿
Ooh sending you lots of love and healing vibes ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the tour, Kelli! I love your collection! I very much enjoyed the breakdown of the brands. I'm at around 800 bottles after destashing several hundred. Now I can buy more! 😂 I have more mainstream than indies, and I would like to get a lot more indies. I'm working on it. Ha ha
The video I’ve been waiting for! Amazing collection 🥰
Green is my favorite color so that Cirque drawer spoke to me right away. 💚
Cirque makes such stunning greens haha!
My collection consists of
489 essie original
103 essie gel couture
27 essie expressie
17 essie love
46 orly
48 opi
24 mooncat
21 ilnp
4 halo taco
6 became
19 base, top, care
And 5 dupe colors
Total 810
Most are collections. I keep them in 11x17 sterlight plastic containers. They are arranged by brand then color. Wish we could post pictures of our collections.
But this was very satisfying to watch. Thanks 😊
Ooh that sounds like a great collection! You've got me beat with Essie haha! 💅❤️
Amazing collection!
Oh WOW! That's incredible. You & you're nail polish are pretty amazing. And I thought I was a big deal with 50 🤣🤣🤣✌️💐❤️
Haha honestly I think 50 is a big collection! That's a different color every week for almost a year! 😋
Well done! It will be cool to catalog the polishes but a daunting task for sure.
I'm nervous tbh LOL but I know it'll feel so good to have everything catalogued!!
Loved the story at the end!!!
So much fun to see them all. I keep my pinks with my purples too 😊
ur. collection. iz. so. legit.
thank you for this ah mazing tour. LOVING it entirely. all hail dear kelli xoxoxoxo
wow!!! that is A LOT of polish! more than i have seen in my life! (Besides in the stores of course😅) thanks for sharing this video with us!!!!☺☺☺ take care and happy holidays!!!!😚😚😚
This was fun, thank you for sharing!
I use Lacquergram to catalog! I love having the visual and just being able to tap a button to add instead of having to catalog things manually. It's got a details and notes option as well for tracking specifics.
Question about the drawers, since I'm about to build the Helmer drawers. If memory serves you didn't put in the drawer stopper to leave more room, right?
I do love china glaze, essie, opi, and barry m nail polishes. I have lots of Barry M polishes as im in the UK, but its nice to see other brands that i hardly know / seen in the uk! 😅
Thank you for sharing this video with us, Kelli!! Love how you organized and categorized your collection. I was so fascinated watching!! PS: None of us even noticed your cable management until you mentioned it. I was fixated on the polishes!🙂
Oooh my gosh I love your OPI Red drawer. They have the best reds ever! I have a lot of Mooncat and just started collecting other Indie brands like Bees Knees, Ethereal, KB Shimmer, Cadillacquer, Sassy Sauce, Alchemy, Monarch, Lumen, and one of my latest great finds is LynB designs. I find the Indie brands to be so unique and fun. Love love love your setup and organization! Thank you for sharing ❤
I was so wrong in your insta poll 😂you’re the best
Hahaha don't worry most people didn't guess it 🤣 my hint photo was confusing LOL
your collection is AMAZING🤗💜👍
Orly is far surpassing all others as my favorite in the past few years. Happy holiday Kelli!
They really are the best mainstream brand IMO, they make such beautiful collections and their color stories are just perfect :) Happy holidays!!!
Love, love, love!!! 😍
That is a huuugeee collection!!!! 😮😮😮
It is sooo fun to watch tho!!!!
Also, I just started installing some acrylic shelves on my own and I’m very proud of it lol!
I just really need to see what I have lol!!! 😂 but I know drawers are better to keep the polish in good condition.
Thank you again Kelli for sharing with us!
Love it would love to see your work space and stamping collection. Also I use little bows on all my polishes to swatch the colours of the polish
Ooh that sounds so cute! I definitely want to do a little tour of my nail polish desk haha! But it's a mess 🤣
Hey Kelli...so amazed to watch your Nail polish collection... I have around 300 still struggling to organise them...lol...
Showing this to my husband tomorrow so he can’t say anything about the probably 70 bottles I own anymore. 😂😅🤣😂🤣😅😂🤣
Rainbows always so satisfying! Thanks for the video 😊
Yay glad you enjoyed!!!
The way you organized them by color family is incredibly satisfying
Love these videos 🤩
I would use the rotating rack for ice cream nails. The bottles are cute and fun to look at. Or Nailpollies if you ever get any. Any decorative shaped bottles.
Awesome collection!
I'm not a very organizy person, and what works for me is if I ask myself "where would I look for this first?" and then I put it there. If you'd look in the pink drawer for that medium coral shade, then you should put it there, where it makes sense to you. Then you'll always find what you're looking for.
That's a great way to think about it, and I think subconsciously that's how I organized too because some colors just "feel" like they belong in a certain group lol
Love this tip!!
Aww I love this! I’m a total data nerd so I put all my nail polish info in excel by brand, color, finish etc. I only have ~150 polishes but it still took me a few hours!
Ooh I love that! I finally just put in the basic numbers of each brand into excel but I would love to see a giant chart of everything haha!
I loved this! Thanks for showing all your beautiful stash! My polish collection has grown over this year, and it is currently housed on the top rack of my Ikea Raskog cart, lol. And here I was thinking I had a lot! How fun you got to meet your favorite nail celebrity! So cool!
I hope he doesn't remember my sushi blunder LOL!!!
@@KelliMarissa Nah! He will only remember what good company and how talented you are!
That was a very sweet video. Keep up ⬆️ your amazing 😻 collection of nail polish 💅. Life’s too short not to 😎.
I'd be interested in seeing swatches of colors you have that are similar and your reasons on keeping them!
My fave this year is mooncat what a. Brilliant nose. Def going to pick up rogue lacquer thanks to your review!
Yay you'll love the brand imo!!
Small chance this could be a problem, but you may not want to put charging equipment that heats up/can fault out next to massively flammable liquids?
Don't mind the mess, but the safety is #1 XD
I wonder if test tube racks would work for the ISN polishes... it can sit right side up on the bottom shelf and upside down with the cap in the hole on the top shelf!
Haha yeah it's definitely not a good idea! I'll be moving them to a shelf 😋
Omg I am obsessed with having a nail polish spreadsheet. I have tons of formulas, automated formatting, and stats because spreadsheeting is a legit hobby of mine and I am ridiculous. I started off with the spreadsheet that Hillary from mediocre manis shared.
Also Holo Taco fits PERFECTLY in Helmers if you store them with the box and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that because I just assume it was intentional.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection!!!
I put my pinks and purples together because I feel like there are more there that go back and forth between pink or purple… like all the fuchsias haha
Yesss definitely agree! I think those orangey toned pinks and the purpley toned pinks are totally different and belong on opposite sides of the rainbow haha!
"moving on down the rainbow" 😂 What a fantastic collection. I only have one OPI red😂 I have one Hemler unit and only 3 of the drawers hold polish. Funnily enough, one of the drawers are all Essie!
Love this! I don’t have a count but I have four helmers, not all 100% full, plus overflow. I have the most OPI with four full drawers. ❤
It seems like OPI is the majority for everyone haha! I wonder if we all just started with them because they're so easily accessible/have so many color options!!
Every year or so I go through my polishes and declutter those that are dried out or can’t be saved. I have OPI polishes that are 17 years old. There is something so satisfying seeing bottles of colors nicely organized. I also prefer blues and purples but I’m getting into nudes a lot. My nail color usually reflects my mood so dark is my go to. 💕🐾💕💅🏻
Got rid of 5 polishes this year, so I had the perfect excuse to buy some fun new colors and finishes. I had some OPI that was at least that old. My old Essie Marshmallow had turned into separated, gooey gunk! I'll get a new one with the newer brush. I keep the number of polishes to 18 plus 2 base coats, 1 top coat, etc.
I hope you know about nail polish thinner! I just revived a dried out China Glaze this morning! 💅
That was fun, seeing how you organized it. My collection is much smaller, but I still have way too many. My top drawer is top & base coats, some specialty top coats, magnetics, crackles and odd bottles from other brands. Second drawer is Orly, Sunful Color & Miracle gels from Sally Hansen. After is my China Glaze & OPI, then it's Essie, Color Club, Zoya and other square bottles. After is Revlon, other Sally Hansens & Wet n Wild. The last drawer is for duplicates, liner brush nail polish, and other minis.
I use that space on the sides to store extra nail files or smaller polishes, like minis or stamping polishes. its not ideal, I'd rather get another Helmer, but I'm not allowed lol.
I would be in heaven if I had all these, I mean I do have alot of polish (600 something to be exact) I'm jealous of your collection Kelly lol.. Happy Holidays doll. Xxhugs. & cheers to 2024 🎉🥂🎄
This was very satisfying.
I love the idea of the Helmer as they can pull out all the way. I have a Winsome Drawer unit I got on Amazon. I love it besides the drawers don't come out all the way so it's hard to see the back of the drawer. I thought about going to a Helmer but I'd lose a lot of space. I can fit 140 Holo Taco in one drawer.
Fun fact. I have the same tower from Amazon and only put Holo Taco on it, and it just finally got full with their last collection. Lol
The only ones I don't have on it are the glow in the dark and crackle polishes.
For my zoya drawers I put the small bottles along the side and they fill in that little gap.
Ooh that's a smart idea!!
also: we are clocking in at abt 900 polishes currently. soooo glad for community nerdage because: yes it's necessary 😻😹 carry on dear hearts...
I am obsessed with your collection! 😍😍😍😍 But I can also imagine how overwhelming it can be to own so many shades😅 It is really nice that you donate some extras you have ❤ And I loved the stats at the end!! It is wild that over 200 bottles of a brand is such a small percentage in the overall collection😂 I would definitely love to see more stats if you're ever in the mood for it.
I am also cataloging the polishes I own, but what I do is I just write the names down as I wear them cause my collection grew so it would be hard to sit down and do it in one go 😅
That story with the Orly founder is so cute 😂 but I can totally imagine the pain it was xD I had sth similar happen to me at a parent evening in a kindergarden I work in and I just wanted to disappear from the face of the earth lol
I used to have a nail polish spreadsheet! Not sure of your exact needs, but I included name/brand/short description/have i swatched it on IG?(plus a hyperlink to the post)/when did I wear it last?/how many coats does it need? ... I destashed most of my collection this past year and largely stopped buying so much, so the spreadsheet isn't really necessary to me anymore, but it helped A LOT while my collection was in the 1000-1500 realm! (Especially content-creation-wise!)
Wow!! I really thought you'd have most Orly. That's so cool!
Honestly I'm surprised Orly isnt in the top 3 haha I thought I owned more of them!!
This collection is MINDBLOWING! 🤯 The organization is amazing. I am currently in the process of organizing my polishes. I don't have nearly as many as you have but this video is giving me a ton of ideas! I noticed you didn't mention the brand Polished for Days and would love to see you do a review on them! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍💅
Oh thank you haha!! You're gonna have so much fun organizing!!!
Tina, how do you store yours? Helmers? I use the plastic carrying cases for my 1800+ bottles, and I’m wondering if I’m the only one 😂 I’m guessing have about 40 of the cases that hold 48bottles. They are so east to move around and store, plus I can find exactly what I’m looking for since the plastic is clear.
@Diametricallyopposed00 I started out like you... all my 300 ish polishes were in those plastic cases, but in the end I caved in and got a Helmer and I'm very happy I did. Much prefer the Helmer now.
@@xpresson6338 ok, good to know. Thanks for the reply.
@@Diametricallyopposed00 I’m thinking I’ll need something like that. My collection is relatively small but I also have nail art tools & accessories that I need to Store as well.
Wow! Just Wow!
So glad you donate on the regular 😊
Although I will say, a lot of polishes go to friends and loved ones too haha! 😅❤️
I appreciate this video so much! It was very satisfying and thoughtful 😊
I have a question! Did you rediscover any nail polishes that you were happy to find? If so, what were they?! Also- if there are a bunch, might be a fun video/swatch 🤷🏻♀️💗💕😎
I am surprised at how much I enjoyed the statistics portion of the video!!! Can't wait to see the cataloguing! I'd be interested in seeing how you decide what to set aside and what's about to be donated!
Honestly was considering making a pie chart for the stats but I wasn't sure if that interested anyone besides me LOL! It was fun to "compile" the data though!
@@KelliMarissaI think a lot of us would appreciate whatever stats you want to share 😊 Can't wait for the cataloging 💜💅🎄
You have a little bit of everything. I envy you. I've got a lot myself, but not as much as you. My guess was 3000 polishes, so was kinda close
I have a bit too many LOL!! 💅❤️
Will you ever do Wet n Wild nail polish? Thanks.
i just hit the 3000 mark. 95% of mine are all indies tho. 😬 gunna need me some more helmers soon. love seeing some of my favorite brands in your collection
can't wait to see what color is now your HT Cold Shoulder, if you still have it...🥴 i catalogued my own collection into lacquergram, love this app!
I know variety is the spice of life but Good Lord! how do you decide what polish to wear???
Most indie makers do make their own brand stickers that can be made into magnets for the drawers.
I didn’t know Essie changers their formula! I bought the Mint Candy Apple that everyone loves YEARS ago and I hated it. No matter what I did I got air bubbles. But I took a chance on Sugar Daddy a little while ago and LOVED it.
Wow - I actually have more Mooncat than you???? How is that possible!!! (104 in my collection so far). I'm so in love with this brand!!
I'm really enjoying them so far haha I gotta catch up to you!!
There's a shaker for polish?! Omg, I just organized and shook my 300 polishes. My arm was killing me.😅
HAHA! Omg! That must have been such a workout loool 🤣
I made a guess of 3500, nice collection! When you catalog your polish it would be interesting to see what colors you own on your top five and what polish color you use the most of. I was surprised 😮 to see that I wear pink 💗the most and I don’t like pink that much. I have blue 💙 coming in on second and with blue being also my 2nd most worn color. 🤪 crazy statistics!📈 I do track the changes annually. 😵💫😵 nail polish problems 😂😂
maybe a tray under the removers to protect the carpet from any leaks?
I probably should move them off the floor/away from the outlets anyway haha so I'll probably put them on a shelf!
The way you organized your collection really works. I see the purple nail polish remover in your bottles on the floor, and I was wondering if that is the Zoya remover?
I've actually just been using drugstore remover! The purple ones at the drugstore are usually the "strengthening" acetone which is my favorite. I have a mini bottle of the Zoya remover but lately it's been drying me out a lot, I'm thinking just the combo with the winter weather isn't playing nice with my skin haha!
I am about to do my first destash and I'm DREADING it. How will I decide?! I don't know how you keep up with all this, it's just incredible! I made the rookie mistake of putting HT and ILNP in a drawer together and I constantly pull one when I meant to pull the other, lol! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Ooh yeah I used to keep my ILNP and HT together too LOL definitely too similar in the bottle to do that again ahaha
That was a fun half hour! Aren't you going to link all the polishes down below?😂
Fantastic video! I have 787 Zoya, I have most of them on wall racks as I love looking at the rainbow, but I need to get a couple more wall racks, I have 4 helmers with various other brands but I rarely buy other brands now, it’s Zoya and fancy gloss. I wish my room was bigger so that maybe I could have more helmers. Oh I should say I probably have a similar amount of polish overall, but I haven’t counted lol
Impressive! I have about 200ish bottles and struggle to decide what to wear. I have no idea how you even decide!! 😂
I have that same nail polish tower and I already filled it up 🤣😅 but I’m trying to track what polishes I’m using and which ones I’m not. I got some rubber bands meant for hair and put them on every single bottle. And then, later this year, I’ll see what ones still have the rubber band on it and depending on the quality I’ll give it to a family member.
That is a seriously smart idea on how to tell which polishes you've been wearing! I've heard a similar trick with clothing/hangers but I never thought to do it with polish haha!
@@KelliMarissa I’m a spreadsheet girlie 🤓 and I tried that last year and it just didn’t work because I kept forgetting to check off colors I wore 😅 taking the rubber band off is much easier to remember 🤣
The zoya bottles look like gems in the drawer though!
Maybe adding a foam insert as a spacer on one side (or both sides) would make you feel better about the sizing?
Oh that's such a great idea!!!
Wow Kelli, I can't imagine how long that took you to do all that, its really very interesting though, mine desperately need sorting I'll hopefully get it done soon and I'm only talking maybe 500 might have under estimated it but around there, a great watch though, really interesting to get into all the detail, I always enjoy watching everything you do puts a smile on my face which is always welcome, thanks Kelli, always appreciated ❤xxx
The organizing process was a lot but what really helped me speed through it was having an audiobook to listen to while I organized haha! I felt so productive and I got a whole book done too! 😋❤️
@KelliMarissa ah that's magic doing 2 things you enjoy at the same time, I love that, well done you 👏 ❤️
