The Helmer

The last time I showed you my polish collection, they were in plastic baskets but I kept having to buy more baskets so I finally bought a Helmer for my polish storage after my exams and I'm so proud that I managed to set it up all by myself! There are 6 drawers but I only have 5 drawers filled currently so defnitely more room for expansion here! :D

In the first drawer are all the random nail supplies like polish remover, cuticle remover, nail files, buffers, konad stamps, cotton wool and sponges for sponging gradients (yes, I bought a huge pack of dish sponges because they were dirst cheap)!

In the second drawer, I have base coats, top coats, glitterss and flakies, blacks, metallics, greys, greiges, whites, bronzes and yellows.

The reds, pinks, mauves, nudes and taupes are in the third drawer.

Then, I have the purples, blues and greens in the forth!

And lastly, in the fifth drawer, I keep all the boxes that the polishes came in when I buy them from sprees in there! They're all empty and I can't bear throwing them away but if I ever need more space, they'll have to go!

When packing the polishes into the drawers and then putting them all side by side, I realised how much (not even gonna use "many") polish I have. I actually stopped counting once I hit 120 because the number would probably give me a heart attack!

If you noticed, I actually bought these tiny round circle stickers from the bookshop in my school and I painted polish on them and stuck them on the top of the covers so when I open the drawers, I can get a bird's eye view of the colours so it's easier to find the polish I'm looking for! The stickers were $1.60 for 416 pieces so they're pretty cheap! Just an idea for you guys if you have trouble finding your polish!

So how do you store your polishes?
