Haul + Helmer help

Hi ladies I am almost done with verifying  the entries for my giveaway I am very excited to announce a winner but that will have to wait for tomorrow. Today I wanted to show you my recent haul. The month is now over and Ive been trying to buy less polishes a month. I had asked what is a decent amount of polishes a month and Rebecca from Rebecca likes nails shared with me what she's been aiming for which is buying less polishes that there is days in the month. So I decided to give that a try and I failed miserably my total came to 68!! I'm ashamed I have absolutely no will power I blame Zoya because of their BOGO sale and Sally's  for their buy 2 get 1 free.

I got all the following polishes this past week and a half. Ive been doing alot of buying for swaps for 2 lovely ladies in Europe so in the middle of all the buying I couldn't come home without something for me. So here are some of the polishes from Sally's sale so every 3rd polish was free.

China Glaze Re-fresh mint
China glaze Four leaf clover
China Glaze Shocking pink
China Glaze Sexy in the city
China Glaze Electric Pineapple
China Glaze Senorita Bonita
China Glaze Papaya Punch

Orly Cotton Candy
Orly Va Va Voom
Essie Smooth Saling (Walgreens)

Walgreens was also having great sales on Sinful Colors 50% OFF and so was Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear polishes. CVS had a sale on the Insta-Dri buy one the second one is 50%OFF this is what came from theses sales.
Sinful Colors All about you
Sinful Colors UFO
Sally Hansen XW Strobe light
Sally Hansen XW Pacific blue
Sally Hansen XW Lacey Lilac
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Beige blast

These's next polishes I got today with my hubby in a mall in Salem NH. Its sometime nice to go to further away malls because they always have the exclusive stuff so take a look at what I found!

OPI Silver Shatter
OPI Mermaid Tears
OPI Pirates of the Caribbean mini set


Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle butter
Icing Blackout (finally)

Claire's Bright skies
Claire's Nail bling (multi colored gems/leopard print)


Bundle Monster Plates (got in the mail Monday)

 
So I failed horribly! But its a new month so Im really gonna try to keep its under 31 due to my massive hauling again I have run out of space for my polishes they no longer fit on my book shelf. So I will be making a trip to Ikea to get a helmer. Who has a Helmer for their polishes? How many polishes usually fit in a Helmer? I have 450+ could I fit all of them in one Helmer? How many polishes do you ladies have?

  1. A Helmer holds around 500/600 polishes. I think you will find one Helmer to work but you may want to get two so you have room to grow.
