A new way to store my nail polishes!

I've been obsessed with nail polishes for a few years now, always wanting more than I could possibly wear in a year. I would say that I have over two-hundred polishes now from OPI and Chanel to Rimmel and Maybelline. My stash was getting so big it was in two large boxes, so I decided it was time to go big. Lots of people on Instagram had invested in a helmer from Ikea to store their polishes as the draws were tall enough for the polishes to stand upright, which is a must for me. I finally took the plunge and ordered one.

It was a pain to put together (Ikea flatpack!) but we managed it. When I say we I mean me, my sister and my dad. A three-man job...

This is a bit of a picture heavy post but I wanted to show you the mass of nail polishes I own! Probably more than most salons do. I've organised the draws by the colour of polish and think it worked out pretty well.

If anyone wants their nails done, come on round mine.

Do any of you think you'll invest in a helmer? Does anyone think they have more polishes than me?

  1. Great idea - I really need a better storage since at the moment I've got nail polishes all over the house in whatever free drawer there is... Xx

  2. Such a good storage solution and for £25 that's a bargain!
