I've been wanting to do a nail polish collection for ages now, but my collection keeps growing because I keep buying more! Finally here it is! I did a collection post almost a year ago, which you can find here. It has grown dramatically since then! Below shows how I store my nails polish. I recently bought a Helmer from Ikea which stores all my nail art supplies and nail polish.
On top of the Helmer, I have a nail polish rack that was kindly made for me by my dad. The edging is made from MDF and the shelves are simply polystyrene. I absolutely love the rack and it holds all of my favourite colours. I currently have forty five nail polishes stored on it, but it can hold more, depending on the different size bottles. The rest of my polishes are stored in a draw in my Helmer.
The Polishes
For any polishes that I have already swatched, I will attach a link so you can have a look.
Barry M
Barry M is my favourite nail polish brand, as you can probably tell by the amount I have. I currently own twenty five Barry M polishes, but there are still so many more I want.
I think I could add some greens in there!

What do you think?
How does your collection compare to this?
I know some bloggers who have hundreds of nail polishes, so I feel like mine is quite small in comparison. I now have over one hundred though and there are still so many pretty colours I want! I'd love some OPI or China Glaze polishes, but they're so expensive here in the UK! If anyone from the US wants some of the UK brands and would be interested in doing a swap with me, then email me.
If you would like me to swatch any of the polishes then just leave a comment below.

Wow, that's a pretty impressive collection! It actually makes me feel better about mine, because I have around 60 but there are still a lot of nail polishes that I'd like to buy! haha If you want some OPI and China Glaze polishes, I'd suggest buying them from ebay. They're usually around 6-7 euros which isn't bad at all (: x
Wow! I'm so jelous of your collection! I'd love one of those racks to store mine on but i just don't know where i would put it "/ Yours all seem so organised :)

Your collection is amazing.I wish I had so many colors to choose from :)
Ooh, I enjoyed this post :-) I love your nail polish rack, wish my dad would make one for me!
I have about 70 nail polishes here and maybe another 40 or so at home. Some of them I hardly use but it's good to hold on to old ones for stamping.
You have so many! Lol I like the storage unit you have for them :)
That GOOD GOOD Blog
