Which Dany Vianna did you not care for? It might be the one I was going to send to you. I’ll save the shipping if you already have it and don’t care for it!

I meant to say... you asked if we saw any polishes that might be worth something. I saw you had a few Nubar bottles but I don't think you mentioned what colors they were. Depending what you have some of us older polish collectors might be interested. I'm specifically looking for "Peacock Feathers."

I’m going to be doing this again but not sure where to destash my polish I’m in Australia 🇦🇺

Do you feel better now that you destashed all of those polishes? I suggest keeping a box and whenever you feel like you aren't in love with a polish anymore then you can put it in the box! My tastes are always changing or I end up getting a dupe of something so I will put them in a box and once I get 10-20 or more I will sell the box

You did great, I'm a reformed hoarder myself. It's been a process but I hit my breaking point at 8 helmer drawers, I'm now down to 75 bottles and I truly have nothing I would part with. I have to ignore indies whenever possible, they just trigger a scarcity mindset that I have a hard time controlling. I had always avoided PPU type events, I thought "just this once" and I did the rewind this month, felt good about getting the 3 I wanted. But this triggered me into buying 7 more bottles from brand sites, the instant gratification dopamine hit to soften the waiting period. So that's it for me, back to ignoring them and time to regroup. Get to know what I just bought and figure out if it's going to stay in my collection or not. No more PPU for me. I will diminish, and go into the west and remain Galadriel.

Loving this series 🫠

Ive done this twice with my lacquers,was just thinking 💭 to do it again😊this video was super satisfying!! I'll have to catch up with your series!!

Just wanted to say you have beautiful nails I did a destash last year now I’ve got more I think I want to do it again.

I keep my polish in rainbow and finish order. It helps soooo much with not buying too many similar polishes.

I don't know about you but, the more I destach, the more I want to destash! I've also become much more selective about what I buy now, trying not to dupe myself.

I loved watching you destash and in a way I think it helped me buy less. I just got my first Helmer and hopefully it is my last Helmer. I would have made separate boxes for trash ( unusable polish), sell, and give away.

i already commented but around 18mins you said some of the polishes are “dried without possibility of repair” but that’s not true! adding thinner and letting it melt the clumps and then continuously repeating that until the correct consistency is possible for polishes of all ages, even vintage ones that literally had broken bottles and just a polish clump at the bottom (not that you wanted those polishes anyway though lol)

That's an amazing destash! Your friends are gonna be thrilled.

i’ve never felt as much guilt as when i had to pack my nail polish collection for a move, not once but twice, within the last year. it’s made me realize that i also lost the joy of actually having and wearing my polish, and lately it has been enjoyable just from the initial package opening. realizing this has helped me stop buying just to buy. i’m still irresponsible sometimes, but this he helped me a looooot

Great series! Ironically I watched a lot of it while building and filling my first Helmers. I’ve come relatively recently and late (recently retired) to enjoying and collecting polish. I have really appreciated your insights and humor. Thank you for sharing!

No spreadsheet analytics? Colors, finishes, brands? How are you going to cull your swatch sticks? Keeping the swatch sticks of destashed for informational statistics?

👏 👏 👏 You did so well. Looking forward to the organisation after PBE. Do you have a spreadsheet that you will adjust? ❤

Look at you adulting responsibly 😊

What an amazing job! I’m impressed with how few polishes you pulled back into your collection.

Omg that looks so overwhelming!! I have recently reorganized my polishes by color & then separated each color by cremes vs finishes. It helps me see what I have a lot of or quickly see if I have something similar when thinking of purchasing a polish. When I do my seasonal rack, I pick polishes from each color drawer & I feel less overwhelmed. Great job with letting go, it can sometimes be hard. TFS 😊

ive missed this classic youtube song lol 💃

I can’t wait to see the organization after Polish and Beauty Expo~ This been a very fun series, loved your insight at the start of the video. I am just starting my collection, but I am trying to keep in mind to be mindful as I build it. Mostly because I have no space for new storage but still 😂

It was a fun journey to watch, and I have a purgatory box myself but I have such shifting tastes that I end up grabbing them out of the box too often 😅 I have slowed down on my purchasing, though, and I hope I can keep that up!

I sent an Instagram DM (I think) regarding the pricing of the polishes. I'm not that tech savvy and couldn't figure out how to message on KZbin. This has been a great series to follow. I need to do the same and it gives me a good template :)

I would have liked to snow angel in those bottles 😂. You made such great progress!

Cold Shoulder from HT will be worth A LOT. Please look it up and get you its full worth.

You did so good! It is certainly an accomplishment. Good luck with your sales!

What are you going to do with your spreadsheet? Are you going to update all the polishes you are getting rid of?

Dang! Nice job! 🎉

Good for you for de-stashing SO many polishes! Any leftovers after your friends have a go at the polishes, you might be able to donate to a women's shelter or Dress for Success organization.

This was such a fun series to watch! What I have learned is that I’m uptight about what is considered acceptable separation.

Um send it my way 😂❤

People will totally want that HT Cold Shoulder even discolored

Such a great series! I'm impressed how little you pulled back from the de-stash pile, great job! 🎉

I enjoyed this series so much. I hadn’t purchased a polish this year until rewind and that was only two. I only started getting into nail polish again about a year and a half ago so my polish count is less than what you destashed. Even so, I’ve already given away several polishes to family. Your philosophy is on par with how I’m feeling. You’ve been an inspiration doing this series. Thanks so much!

When you poured out all the nailpolishes! O.M.G Best thing I've ever seen on KZbin. Awesome.

I definitely think there's a lot of us that focused on building a collection when we first started off. Everything is new and exciting when you join the indie nail space. Once you realize what you like and don't like, you start slowing down. Basically, there's a lot of us in the same boat 😊

I loved this series. The whole point is the philosophical insight. It can take a lot of errors and a lot of money before we refine our tastes and preferences. I am surprised you have so few dried out polishes. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

Please wideo or cutting your long beautiful finger nails 😢😢❤❤❤

The much awaited for video! My jaw dropped when you started pouring the box(es) out, haha. Great job clearing out polishes taking up space, and looking forward to seeing the reorganization 🥳

loved this series!

Great job!!!!

Maybe I'm strange but Klean Color is one of my favorite brands. Everyone had their own preferences.

So I actually tried an "Eclipse" dupe from KB Shimmer called "Obsidian" and I really enjoy it! I believe it was a "polished with rae" video that informed me about it.

For Cuticula's Dragon Glass, I've heard that called the "pond effect". For me, I use ILNP's Ink (and just got Victorian Varnish Obsidian for the value). My favorite specialty blacks are Holo Taco Bat B*tch, ILNP Deep Space and Clionadh Gravity Well. I'm actually on a low-key search (as in, I'm not actively searching but it's on my mind) for a polish that'll look like a Star Wars sky (space sky?) on my nails! I tried black cream + Cirque Snow Angel and it wasn't right.

ILNP black magic is amazing.

Oh I still regret not picking up Dragon Glass!

I have 23 blacks including toppers. I like Holo Taco Black Holo Wish, Blacklisted, Orly View From L2 ,In the Moonlight, and Sunglasses at Night.

I don't own a lot of black polishes. Out of my 2 creams CG Liquid Leather wins. I only own 1 topper, Sally Hansen Ruffle. It's various sizes of matte black hex glitters. For fun finishes I guess I would have to say Cupcake Polish Jingle Jangle(from PPU) and OPI Turn Bright After Sunset. I do own Eclipse, but have only worn it once and didn't care for it. It looked black 99.9% of the time. My nails were REALLY short at the time, so perhaps that was part of the problem. I have to try it again.

I’m counting it as a black but Anchor & Heart’s Lovers Eclipsed is one of my favorites. Has a lot of depth in it
