Organizing Stash (pic heavy)

Ive been having alot of trouble keeping my stash organized because I get so many polish that I easily run out of space. A couple of weeks ago I asked how many polishes fit in a helmer because I had out grown my bookshelf. I have between 450-500 polishes and a fellow blogger that has a helmer said that it holds between 500-600 polishes. So I sent my hubby to buy me 2 Ikea Helmers (one for backup). He was such a trooper he took that long ride in the rain to get them for me. He started to build it but he's could not complete it so I took over and finished the Helmer. 

Here he is building

                   
It was pretty easy to build got it down in about 30 minutes. I then added some rubber shelf liners to keep the bottles from sliding and started filling it up. I separated the polish by brands.

Zoya, OPI, Nicole by OPI

China Glaze

Sally Hansen, Elf, Wet N Wild, Milani, Revlon

Color Club, Sinful Colors, Orly, Essie

Claire's, Cover Girl, Del Sol, NYC, Mood Struck ect...

                                                                                                                                                                                                          
Top Shelf (Lippmann polishes and HTFs

So as you see I have plenty of space left and now all my polishes are protect and what my hubby likes the best is that they are hidden.

So after all the re-organizing I had an empty book shelf and racks. I decide to display all my mini nail polishes.
My Minis arent they cute!

Since I was already in a re-organizing mood I wanted to do my nail art drawer over too. I took a trip to target got some little cute bins and drawer oragnizers in the dollar section and her what that looks like.
