My GIANT Nail Polish Collection Tour! Organization & Stats (3,000+ polishes!) || KELLI MARISSA

[@3rin817]

I have 70 polishes & I am already a bit overwhelmed. I'm just going to live vicariously through this video. 😅

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha honestly that's a big collection imo! A new color to wear almost twice a week for a whole year 😋 I am definitely overwhelmed with this much LOL

I know, I’m at 75 right now, and I’m vowing not to have a Helmer in my future 😂

[@cozeydaze]

That's a decent amount...selective and curated 😉

I'm a spreadsheet nerd, so I'd love to make your catelogue! I need to catalogue my own, actually!

[@anitalee3655]

All mine are in Excel. Not only is it so satisfying but also useful. I just referred to it today before making a polish order and saved myself from purchasing a duplicate.

[@alisontopalian8592]

I'm old fashioned. I have everything written in longhand. By brand then alphabetical then by color. It took me months to do. But was very satisfying once I was done

[@Greenwren]

I have mine organized on Lacquergram. I always have to talk myself out of buying more because 200 is getting a bit out of hand. 😅

[@pinkfeet518]

when i was about 14/15 i had a collection of 500+ polishes and i now have under 90. this makes me miss having a bigger collection so much! is it crazy that i would gladly watch a video of you swatching every polish?

[@KelliMarissa]

This is why I love the internet lol finding people who would be interested in seeing every single polish I own is a dream come true because I also want to swatch every polish I own 😂

I appreciate the small and indie brand features you do. I typically would not come across some of those brands in my local stores so it's nice to see them through your channel.

[@lisapiche8900]

I am obsessed with your Indie nail polishes. I was thrilled to see your Enchanted nail polish collection. I miss them! Also, I loved all the green Cirque polishes you have! Yaasss!!!

The BEST polish mixer I've ever used is a lab analog vortex mixer with a cup head. You can pick up good priced used ones that are still in great shape, and nothing mixes chunky, thick glitters better! I have a few cream colors that stay streaky no matter how much you hand shake them, and my brick of a mixer shakes them right up.

Showing this to my husband tomorrow so he can’t say anything about the probably 70 bottles I own anymore. 😂😅🤣😂🤣😅😂🤣

I guessed 4000!! So many! Would love to see those in person! Any plans on filming an ILNP office tour? Seeing them mix polishes or how they pack an order would be amazing ❤

Before I watch: I love the thumbnail! It gives me Lisa Frank vibes!

Oh thank you haha! 💜🩷

[@dayzyrules1]

Hey kelly, great video. One nail polish girlie to another you should move the nail polish removers away from the power cords, or place them in a bin so if they spill in the rug when youre out it wont be a fire danger. ❤

[@KelliMarissa]

That's definitely a smart tip!! ❤️

[@IllonoD-nz7wk]

Yeah, the numbers can multiply real soon even if you dont swatch because there are so many different finishes and colors. I have about 70 and I find them difficult to organize. Kudos to you for managing all of them❤

[@KelliMarissa]

Trust me, it gets disorganized really fast haha!! 🤣

[@pristinabread]

I did buy a paint shaker from that online A store. It’s the best for mixing. I love the drawer system, however; it will drive me crazy not being able to see the colors dead on. My mood picks my manicure colors. Thanks for the inventory organized share.

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm excited to catalog my polishes so I can see all the different colors and finishes better haha!!

[@ChristineatMove1]

I went to an educational event at Orly and Jeff Pink spoke to the group ~ it was awesome. He talked about how the French manicure started and answered questions. Special memories!

[@KelliMarissa]

That must have been incredible!! I am dying to read his book, I bet his story is so interesting!

I loved this so much!! 🤩 can't even explain why, it just feels good ☺ The next time my husband or mom (she had a collection over 100 before she decluttered it) claims that I own too many polishes, I'll show them this video 😁 Cause I only have 2 Helmers and about 500-600 polishes not included base and top coats 😅 OPI is also the brand I have the most from with 4 drawers dedicated 😁

[@AmyLSchulte]

As of now I have 185. My top was around 350 but my brain doesn’t like to have more than I can wear. I usually go through all of my polishes in a year to use them and that helps me let go of some. I want to keep it under 200 so I’m trying to be more picky. I store mine in an over the door shoe holder.

It's got a details and notes option as well for tracking specifics. Question about the drawers, since I'm about to build the Helmer drawers. If memory serves you didn't put in the drawer stopper to leave more room, right?

I rearranged them regularly because I like them by color but I struggle with where to put multichromes, thermals, multicolor flakes, etc. I also like jellies separate since I use those differently. I do love the helmer units for storing them, and for a lot of my other storage. I don't know why people are so into the Alex drawers when Helmer exists!

They are so east to move around and store, plus I can find exactly what I’m looking for since the plastic is clear.

This was very satisfying. I love the idea of the Helmer as they can pull out all the way. I have a Winsome Drawer unit I got on Amazon. I love it besides the drawers don't come out all the way so it's hard to see the back of the drawer. I thought about going to a Helmer but I'd lose a lot of space. I can fit 140 Holo Taco in one drawer.

[@dianaweatherford5005]

I'm not a very organizy person, and what works for me is if I ask myself "where would I look for this first?" and then I put it there. If you'd look in the pink drawer for that medium coral shade, then you should put it there, where it makes sense to you. Then you'll always find what you're looking for.

[@KelliMarissa]

That's a great way to think about it, and I think subconsciously that's how I organized too because some colors just "feel" like they belong in a certain group lol

[@JennSarracenia]

[@becboobear]

I have that same nail polish tower and I already filled it up 🤣😅 but I’m trying to track what polishes I’m using and which ones I’m not. I got some rubber bands meant for hair and put them on every single bottle. And then, later this year, I’ll see what ones still have the rubber band on it and depending on the quality I’ll give it to a family member.

[@KelliMarissa]

That is a seriously smart idea on how to tell which polishes you've been wearing! I've heard a similar trick with clothing/hangers but I never thought to do it with polish haha!

I like those because I can see them at a glance. I couldn't find your list of top 5 base and top coats. Was just curious. Im sure Orlys bonder base was 1 lol

[@dominailtion]

Fun fact. I have the same tower from Amazon and only put Holo Taco on it, and it just finally got full with their last collection. Lol The only ones I don't have on it are the glow in the dark and crackle polishes.

It is wild that over 200 bottles of a brand is such a small percentage in the overall collection😂 I would definitely love to see more stats if you're ever in the mood for it. I am also cataloging the polishes I own, but what I do is I just write the names down as I wear them cause my collection grew so it would be hard to sit down and do it in one go 😅 That story with the Orly founder is so cute 😂 but I can totally imagine the pain it was xD I had sth similar happen to me at a parent evening in a kindergarden I work in and I just wanted to disappear from the face of the earth lol

The way you organized your collection really works. I see the purple nail polish remover in your bottles on the floor, and I was wondering if that is the Zoya remover?

[@KelliMarissa]

I've actually just been using drugstore remover! The purple ones at the drugstore are usually the "strengthening" acetone which is my favorite. I have a mini bottle of the Zoya remover but lately it's been drying me out a lot, I'm thinking just the combo with the winter weather isn't playing nice with my skin haha!

[@Chantal_4107]

That was fun, seeing how you organized it. My collection is much smaller, but I still have way too many. My top drawer is top & base coats, some specialty top coats, magnetics, crackles and odd bottles from other brands. Second drawer is Orly, Sunful Color & Miracle gels from Sally Hansen. After is my China Glaze & OPI, then it's Essie, Color Club, Zoya and other square bottles. After is Revlon, other Sally Hansens & Wet n Wild. The last drawer is for duplicates, liner brush nail polish, and other minis. I use that space on the sides to store extra nail files or smaller polishes, like minis or stamping polishes. its not ideal, I'd rather get another Helmer, but I'm not allowed lol.

[@Kkimmyb]

Hi. Since you filled up drawers, what do you do if, say, you have a new OPI red? Where do you put it if the drawer is full? Sorry if this is a dumb question or if you mentioned this in the video.

[@KelliMarissa]

Not a dumb question! I did mention it for a brief second in the video but it was easy to miss haha. I usually put new polishes in empty drawer spaces (so in that case it would be the overflow drawer in the second row) and that's why I always have to reorganize my polishes LOL because they end up getting totally out of order after a few months of new polishes!

[@lyndawithay3135]

Every year or so I go through my polishes and declutter those that are dried out or can’t be saved. I have OPI polishes that are 17 years old. There is something so satisfying seeing bottles of colors nicely organized. I also prefer blues and purples but I’m getting into nudes a lot. My nail color usually reflects my mood so dark is my go to. 💕🐾💕💅🏻

[@cynthiacarter532]

Got rid of 5 polishes this year, so I had the perfect excuse to buy some fun new colors and finishes. I had some OPI that was at least that old. My old Essie Marshmallow had turned into separated, gooey gunk! I'll get a new one with the newer brush. I keep the number of polishes to 18 plus 2 base coats, 1 top coat, etc.

Wow Kelli, I can't imagine how long that took you to do all that, its really very interesting though, mine desperately need sorting I'll hopefully get it done soon and I'm only talking maybe 500 might have under estimated it but around there, a great watch though, really interesting to get into all the detail, I always enjoy watching everything you do puts a smile on my face which is always welcome, thanks Kelli, always appreciated ❤xxx

[@KelliMarissa]

The organizing process was a lot but what really helped me speed through it was having an audiobook to listen to while I organized haha! I felt so productive and I got a whole book done too! 😋❤️

[@TheMome58]

@KelliMarissa ah that's magic doing 2 things you enjoy at the same time, I love that, well done you 👏 ❤️

Your nail polish collection is amazing ! I agree about I Scream Nails. While they are cute, the bottle is impractical. If you open the drawer a little too roughly, they all fall over 😢 Also, I couldn't help but notice you don't have any Emily de Molly ! I highly recommend them and would love to see you review them as part of Small Brand Spotlight. They are a small brand based out of Camberra, Australia and they also have a US website. They have beautiful finishes and their formula is 💣

[@Quit3Cut3]

I have quite a lot of their polishes! Love them❤

[@madwild24]

Your collection is so satisfying, I love watching these kind of videos! If you rotated the Mooncat bottles by 90 degrees, would they then fill all the way across the width of the drawer?

[@KelliMarissa]

It's not a perfect fit but I can comfortably fit six across that way! I just like having them sideways because they're so thin that the lip of the drawer would cover the first row if I had them the other way haha 😅

[@madwild24]

@@KelliMarissa Ah fair enough, that makes total sense! Thank you for answering though, I was trying to estimate it on my screen measuring between my fingertips so it's good to know it does theoretically fit! Also, I very rarely actually leave comments on youtube so I'm internally squeeing at getting a reply from you! 😅 Hope you're having a lovely day!

[@KelliMarissa]

@@madwild24 haha honestly a great question! And I know it's probably odd that it's the only brand I store sideways 🤣🤣

[@ashcraft555]

When you do the full catalog, i would love to get a color breakdown - how many reds, blues, whites, etc.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

How do you keep them from drying up/unmixing? You can't possibly wear them all regularly even if you changed every day... I find polish thickens 6 mos to a year after it's opened and it'a harder to paint on...

[@KelliMarissa]

Hmm, nail polish shouldn't thicken, especially that quickly, are you closing your bottles tightly enough? I have some that are decades old and still apply great!

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

Impressive! I have about 200ish bottles and struggle to decide what to wear. I have no idea how you even decide!! 😂

[@redshift328]

I know variety is the spice of life but Good Lord! how do you decide what polish to wear???

[@becboobear]

I put my pinks and purples together because I feel like there are more there that go back and forth between pink or purple… like all the fuchsias haha

[@KelliMarissa]

Yesss definitely agree! I think those orangey toned pinks and the purpley toned pinks are totally different and belong on opposite sides of the rainbow haha!

[@love4polishzama455]

I made a guess of 3500, nice collection! When you catalog your polish it would be interesting to see what colors you own on your top five and what polish color you use the most of. I was surprised 😮 to see that I wear pink 💗the most and I don’t like pink that much. I have blue 💙 coming in on second and with blue being also my 2nd most worn color. 🤪 crazy statistics!📈 I do track the changes annually. 😵‍💫😵 nail polish problems 😂😂
