[@KelliMarissa]

Stay tuned to the end of the video to see the exact number of polishes I have 😳

[@joyschening2580]

Kelli Marissa the last time I counted my polish, I had over 2400. Can’t remember exact number. That was a couple of years ago. I am an addict lol

[@asiannrpersuasion]

I wish you had Kathleen Light’s Lights Lacquer brand :/

[@joyschening2580]

Love lights lacquer. Can’t wait for her to come out with more.

[@chezamoonangelaiemma497]

I have around 800 nail polishes and counting. It makes me happy and I just love nail polish 😍

[@Chasingtheclouds2]

Just curious: -Is there a reason you don't own any essie polishes? -And any reason you choose to display your OPIs on the revolving tower versus any of the other brands you own?

[@elizabethshuster218]

When I tell my family and friends that i have nearly 200 bottles of nail polish, they think I'm crazy. Then when I tell them my favorite KZbinrs have around 1000-3000 bottles, they lose their minds. 😂😂

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! I'm the same when I try to justify my collection of makeup!

[@tatosmb]

I can see why the Picture Polish is one of your favorite drawers, It looks neat!! I just realized you don't have any Essie polishes, that's impressive!!

[@lilq-tip8547]

My dad think I have way to much but I’m like others have 2000 to 3000 he is omg that’s way to much

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I think we have the same amount. I just cleaned up my collection and I love just looking at them. The colors minkes me happy every day.

[@subhavijayamdesikan8607]

I too get the same reaction 😆😆

[@felineluvr8408]

It would be nice if all polish manufacturers had a sticker on top of the bottles showing the color inside the bottles. Great collection & organization.

[@annmariegugliemino5009]

That's the sole reason I don't put them in drawers.

[@limabean1384]

Use a nail dotting tool to place the color nicely in the top, then you can protect them from light exposure 👍

[@Strorberry]

I just painted polish swatches onto masking tape and then cut out squares and stuck them to the top of each bottle. It helps, especially for gels - just make sure to do a base coat or the gel won’t stick to the masking tape.

[@KelliMarissa]

These are all great ideas!!

[@sparklywastaken1426]

I buy the dots from Ali express. I love painting those little dots and sticking them on top.

[@mariromero2413]

23:00 she's a professional actress

[@KelliMarissa]

I think I should be nominated for an oscar for this performance 😜

[@amysuewest3826]

I love the LA Colors drawer. It was a bright pop of happy color. I love that you own over 2000 polishes. I don't know exactly how many I own yet but I'm closing in on 600 as I'm organizing. Now I feel like a small collector and can stop freaking out. You're the best, thanks for that Kelli. 😁😅

[@KelliMarissa]

HAHA! Oh yes, I'm here to make you feel sane for your collection :P

[@mikaylaweaver3281]

That is a lot of nail polishes!I only have like 20!😘 Loved the video!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha!I have way too many! But I can't help but keep all these pretties LOL

[@AlwaysPolished]

Your stamping drawer makes me so happy :D

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha I really need to start using it more!

[@dreadlux]

🌈Ｋｅｌｌｉ🌈 The drawer I like the *best* is the one with gems, top coats, textures, latex, ect. This is because....no matter how many polishes, which color you use, or your skill set, all these items can take your mani to a whole 'nother level.

[@KelliMarissa]

I totally agree!

[@dreadlux]

@@KelliMarissa I hope to see your subs increase due to Cristine's awesome shout out and link. You deserve it!

[@cupcake_imposter4653]

I don't know if you've seen it, but twinkled t has a cotton ball picker upper that is the best thing ever! It kind of looks like a click pen and a grabber comes out and holds your cotton ball so you can clean stamping plates, stampers, nail art mat, just whatever you need cleaned with acetone so you dont have to wear gloves or figure out how without messing up your nails

[@etaylorw]

“Thingamabobs? I’ve got 20! But who cares, no big deal, I want moooooore... nail polish!” Bowser!!!!!!! I just got done playing a puzzle Mario Maker course :) sigh I’m a huge dork but I love it 😻

[@nails4theweek]

Love showing my husband videos like this. That way he can see I'm not the only crazy nail polish person in this world! 😍😍😂

[@KelliMarissa]

LOL!

[@bunnyhop1784]

Omg I showed my husband too so he would know I dont have that many (I'd say I've got 180).

[@krisbartmann8213]

WOW. I'm envious. This from a girl who has around 100. I have to go through them and discard/keep. 😊

[@KelliMarissa]

That's always fun too! Spring cleaning lol!

[@stacym6076]

My favorite drawer is your Cirque drawer. Even though there's an upside-down row, it's so extremely satisfying to look at😍

[@KelliMarissa]

I do love how perfectly they fit in there haha!

[@AshesOfRoses]

Wow. I'm totally impressed. For once I'm actually speechless. Imagine that. Great job. 😻❤

[@KelliMarissa]

LOL. Glad you liked the collection!

[@silver_irl]

Yay Kelli I've been waiting for this video! So excited to see everything you have!

[@KelliMarissa]

Hope you enjoy the tour!:)

[@netralexy]

Thank you 💜 I wanted to know they type of draws you get (I’m in Australia) so your draw info was great

[@annac8112]

I love you’re videos so much!! I was just wondering, why don’t you use Essie polishes?

[@lucypereira6520]

I was wondering the same

[@annac8112]

CJ DUNROVIN I actually don’t use them either since they aren’t cruelty free. But I was just curious since she does have OPI (which isn’t cruelty free).

[@jackieestarellas1523]

@@annac8112 I just cleared out my polishes and got rid of all my essie's and OPI's. I've gone cruelty free and vegan.

[@annac8112]

Jackie Estarellas same!! I wish all brands would go cruelty free because OPI and Essie make some super beautiful shades! One day!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

That is a great question, Anna. I used to own a bunch but I ended up gifting them to friends because I just didnt love the formula or the old brush. I've heard its improved though, maybe worth another shot!

[@rishanadar8438]

Ahhh so jelly of your collection! It's better than polishes at stores because of the inclusion of indie brands! It's organized so nicely, my polishes are a hot mess haha! Btw love the way you introduced the number of polishes 😂

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! I'm glad you appreciated my amazing acting :P

[@meeprific]

No Essie, interesting! I feel like they’re pretty ubiquitous. I’m a relatively new viewer, any reason for no Essie? Love the video! 😊

[@carysann6318]

Expensive

[@no-st4ft]

@Carys Ann, essie isn’t all that expensive for a salon brand. Most salon and indie brands cost about 7-15 dollars per bottle. (Essie is around 10) if you are looking for cheaper polish, such as drugstore polish, try Sally Hansen (around 4-5 dollars) or LA colors (2-3) Sinful Colors (2-3) But I'd say that the majority of her collection would cost around or above the price of 7-15 dollars (individually)

[@caitlinstone596]

From my understanding, the reason initially was the super thin brushes and the formula. But Kelli has actually started using Essie again since they have revamped both!

[@theseinstrumentals]

I have a video idea: swatch of every color you own. ..... jk! Can you imagine lol 😂

[@KelliMarissa]

Once upon a time I thought it might be a cool idea to swatch my entire collections from each brand but then I was like wait oh gosh no thats way too much lol

[@laurabolen4809]

Loved seeing your whole collection. Satisfying to see all the colors in order just like the paint aisle at Michael's. :)

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg I love that aisle lol

[@angieelliott8741]

Oh man!!! You are organized af!! I loved seeing your collection!

[@kimklingsporn5127]

Picture Polish is my most favorite!!! It’s such a great formula and the colors are stunning!!

[@CraizyDaizy1014]

Can we talk about your eye look? Stunning! 🤩🤩

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh gosh thank you haha!

[@auxier9917]

I have been looking for MONTHS for adequate nail-stuff storage and have found nothing that was perfect or even "just good enough". I used retail counter displays but QUICKLY ran out of room for them as my collection grew 😂 Idk why, but I always assumed your drawers were from IKEA and we don't have a store in AK so I can't order from them unless I wanna ship to a friend and then pay shipping again to get it here 😒 I never thought to ask if your drawers were easily procurable 🤦‍♀️ I'm so glad I watched this. I love your storage and most of my collection is Zoya so your drawers gave me a really good idea of how things would fit for me without randomly guessing and buying/returning till something worked. I watched this and immediately ran to Michael's to order and pick up 2 sets and I'm seriously contemplating buying the rest of what they have on the shelf to keep for future use 😬🤦‍♀️😂 Thank you for sharing!

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm glad I could help out! I think they're great for what they do, and they will hold nicely as long as you arent constantly moving them around like I do LOL

[@auxier9917]

@@KelliMarissa I am in love so far! 😍 No guarantee I won't move them 7 million times though lol You mentioning yours got a little banged up made me think, and I found some metallic star contact paper....I'm seriously considering giving them a lil pizzazz and justifying it to husband by saying I'm protecting my investment 🤔😂

[@PinkTigger33]

I love that little polish carousel you have. It's much more fun to look at all the pretty polishes like that instead of sitting in a dark drawer like mine are stored. You've got a wonderful collection of polish. It would be fun to come over to your house to paint nails!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha yes it's always fun showing friends my collection for the first time!

[@sharongibilisco1303]

Did you see that Christine organized hers too and mentioned you and linked this video. You inspired Simply.

[@KelliMarissa]

Yes, I saw! :)

[@georgiastewart4479]

Love the tower so you can see them, but the drawers are a great idea, and so neat! ❤💅

[@birdlovespaint]

so inspired to clean and organize my entire house now! I find I have less anxiety if everything is organized well. :)

[@KelliMarissa]

I feel the same way! Cleaning is so stress relieving haha

[@sharongibilisco1303]

2000 polishes in the guest room, sounds like anybody would be lucky to be a guest there. (If it were me, you would come into the room in the morning and I would be on the floor in the middle of 2000 polishes, heaven.)

[@KelliMarissa]

Hahahaha! Yeah, I think it's a fun time when friends come to visit!

[@oliviatyrrell619]

I have this to watch and simply nailogical’s organizing videos 😁❤️

[@KelliMarissa]

I hope you enjoy! Just watched hers, it was hilarious 😂

[@liannangel2004]

Thank you so much for the video! I really love those drawers. Michael's frequently has them on sale, so maybe I'll give them a try. I LOVED the Zoya and Cirque Colors drawers because of how nicely the polish fits and L.A. Colors and Color Club drawers because of how colorful they are! I literally JUST ordered the Kiara Sky "Graffiti" a day ago. I've never used the brand, but they were on sale for $3. Thanks again and stay well! 💜

[@KelliMarissa]

Yes, I believe the drawers are on sale right now! And they always have great coupons to buy them with too haha. I don't think I've ever purchased one at full price lol!

[@femketjeNL]

I am still in love with that nail polish tower :D Amazing collection

[@KelliMarissa]

Me too haha!! It's such a fun display.

[@kendallbarlow359]

This is awesome, Kelli! Question - did Sinful Colors rebrand? The one bottle you held up looked different. I also love that I’m not the only one who still rocks the tattoo necklace/choker! 😍

[@KelliMarissa]

They have some special bottles for certain collections (like their matte finishes or their recent spring collection!) But usually they're the same :) and yesss I love the tattoo necklace choker hahaha

[@ByClouser]

Kelly I have a tip for you, store your stamping polishes upside down so you can see the colors. I also have a few of those by maniology and I couldn’t see the colors which was really inconvenient! Ever since I put them upside down I was able to see what I had without having to take them out of the drawers

[@KelliMarissa]

I love this idea!! Thanks for sharing it 😄 maybe it'll inspire me to do more stamping if I can see the colors haha

[@XxmetaltilldeathxX]

Omg, using two top coat bottles until they’re halfway and then mixing them together to get a new full one is freaking brilliant, can’t believe I never thought of it! I hate when I have to tilt the bottle to get the brush fully submerged in top coat.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yeah that is the worst!! The only problem is, I've got twice as many bottles of top coat as I need LOL

[@XxmetaltilldeathxX]

Kelli Marissa lol, true

[@KnightOfCydonia18]

Looove seeing people’s nail polish collection, mostly because i love nail polish so much i love seeing it all the time 😂 but i’m fine next to u, i only have like around 250-300 bottles 🙄😅

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha that must be a glorious collection!!

[@helencb9940]

Great video Kelli! I love seeing tours of peoples polishes and how they store them! Oh my gosh your cotton ball drawer is so cute!! It is like diving into a fluffy cloud :)

[@KelliMarissa]

That's exactly how it feels haha! So fun to touch!

[@bryghtfaery7]

This video and your last one were so satisfying! lol! I think my favorite drawer is the Picture Polishes drawer. Looks so clean, neat, and symmetrical! LOL

[@KelliMarissa]

I just LOVE how they store so easily and fit each other perfectly lol

[@butterfieldella]

One day I will own That many or more. I have super long Natural nails 3 to 4 coats and I do my nails every Sunday so I go through polish fast but I do have a decent collection going, can't wait to get more. Love your videos!

[@crazyowlgirlcncowner]

Me too! I change my polish every Friday so I go to church with pretty nails on Saturday.

[@KelliMarissa]

That's such a fun stress-relieving habit for sundays haha!

[@limabean1384]

Quick dry drops??? Whatchu talkin 'bout Willis?? 😯 Please do stamping videos more often. 😍 Still jealous of that Picture Polish drawer!! Thanks for counting!! Wouldn't that've been funny to have 2020

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh you gotta get on board with quick dry drops! They're a lifesaver for nail art!

[@limabean1384]

@@KelliMarissa pretty sure that's a tutorial video!! 🤩

[@COJAMALIK]

I actually did a smaller version of the lazy susuan turntable using: 1. $2.50 lazy susan hardware 2. 2 SQUARE GLASS POT rest $2.00 3. 2 office cups $2.00 4. 1 wood thing divided $1.00 It holds quite a bit of nail polish and can add more layers, it spins and cost less than $10 and fits all size/shape polishes Spray paint whatever color u like so it looks cohesive

[@TikkaHorse]

Spray Plasti-Dip in white to line drawers to prevent sliding! I used it in my helmers and it works amazing. It will never bunch up or peel like roll-out or stick on stuff. I did two thin-medium coats on mine with about 4-5 hours between coats, then let it cure for 24 hours so the bottles wouldn't stick.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh thanks for the tip!

[@js3184]

Love it 😍 - I have adored your nail polish tower for years!!! The majority of my nail polish collection is in a storage shed; trapped under soooooooo much stuff 😩 right now I live some where that doesn’t have enough space for them to be with me but it’s nice being able to take a peek at your collection and dream of my own

[@KelliMarissa]

I used to keep my whole collection in a big tub under my bed (with all my clothes and storage over them lol) so I totally know the struggle! I hope you can get those pretties out on display someday soon!

[@michelleh1822]

Well...hiding all my polishes from my husband in a drawer also helps them last longer? Who knew? This was great, gave me some ideas. Of course, my primary take away is that I clearly need more ; )

[@KelliMarissa]

Hahaha! It's a double bonus!

[@annesophieg-n]

the picture polish drawer is soo satisfying! wonderful video 😊

Oh my god that full drawer of Cirques was so satisfying...! You slid that open and I went “Ohhhhhh that’s nice”.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha yes they just fit so perfectly!

[@hpasko1]

I have the same drawers! I have 4 sets of 3 - so 12 drawers total. I bought them one at a time when Michael's has a 40% off coupon. It was cheap and they work very well for me! I love your cotton balls drawer, I might do that too! Right now, I am using a mason jar.. Thanks for the video you have a beautiful collection!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha I don't think I've bought any of these for full price either! I love how often they go on sale, plus they've got those 40% coupons so often!

[@mexinail5537]

4:10 my favorite thing that exists on this planet

[@KelliMarissa]

HONESTLY tho.. my favorite thing too LOL. Sometimes I just open the drawer and pat my cotton balls and wish I could fill a bathtub with them 😂

[@mexinail5537]

Kelli Marissa I think if we continue in lock down we might see a video.... I fill my bathtub with cotton balls challenge xD

[@LadyLavender74]

Love this video! I love seeing how other people store their polishes. I also store mine by brand and I’m rainbow order. But I keep collections separate from that, of that makes sense. I don’t like integrating them into to rainbow of the brand. They’re “special” lol.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha I totally understand that, sometimes I keep new collections separate for a bit just so I can appreciate them all together too :P

[@sherlynramirez6887]

Yasss 💕😊😁 please do a stamping video! 💜

[@KelliMarissa]

Coming soon! :) :)

[@GBrown9140010]

Thanks for sharing! Just an idea I have found useful during moving drawers. You can take a marker and number the inside of the drawer and then number the correlating drawer slot with the same number. So as you add more units the numbers would just continue to go up. Appreciate all your videos!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ahh that's such a smart tip, thanks for sharing!

[@blessedandjoyful87]

I love your collection. You keep me inspired. I am going to keep learning how to polish my nails. I just got a gel lamp but I have to get some gel polish lol. I love that you us a lot of different brands even drugstore polishes.

I'm so happy to inspire you! It's such a fun and relaxing hobby :)

[@judithhershkowitz7093]

FUN video! Gorgeous make up application too!

[@alisontopalian8592]

So I just became obsessed with nail polish. I had a few essie. Maybe 20-30. I now have over 300 bottles. Since watching your videos and someone else's. I have 268 bottles of essie original, 51 gel couture, 18 expressie. 6 olive and june. 6 frome a brand called besame. 3 OPI. And 10 top/base, etc. I keep them in plastic storage containers from a company called Sterilite. They are 14x11ins and 3 1/3in high. Each holds 80 bottles. Right now I have them in alphabetical order. But I'm going to put them in color family groups. From lightest to darkest in each color. I also have it all written down so I see what I have at a glance. The boxes stack neatly and are on a shelf in my bedroom.

[@ritarabaa8338]

Wow really well organized 👏💜 beautiful collection

[@lauracaruso4838]

I'm totally in love with your collection!!! And I also love how you stored the nail polishes!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Thanks so much Laura :)

[@bikolanangmanikurista4565]

Wow many polish, I hope someday I will have that, thanks I'm always here,,

[@abigaillong4888]

I think the full Cirque drawer is my favorite because they all fit so well together!

[@KelliMarissa]

I do love seeing all those bottles together!

[@MsMJfan95]

You said that you put half empty bottles of base and top coats together ages ago and I then started doing it too. I would have never thought about that myself but it's such a great idea. I have a hard time actually getting enough polish on the brush once my bottles are half or two thirds empty and even though I use really inexpensive stuff it's nice to be able to use more of the product and save money.

[@KelliMarissa]

Yeah I feel like it gets way too thick and tough to reach after a while, so it's my go-to trick now!

[@larajohnson1196]

I haven't watched any of your videos before but this made me so happy! If you painted your nails 5 times a day with a different color every single time for a year straight, you'd still have a ton left over. How fun is that? Can't wait to watch some of your tutorials and color reviews!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha yes thats true, I've got nail polish to last lifetimes! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour, Lara :)

[@jessicamiller5536]

Sending this to my husband next time he says I own too much nail polish.

[@georgesnails83]

Brilliant! Great storage, I love how the squared bottles always store so neatly!x

[@KelliMarissa]

I agree, the square bottle drawers are my favorite haha!

[@lisawinnard5682]

Any chance you can put a time frame on you collecting habits? How long does it take to you build up one brand of collection? Did you initially walk in to a store and buy every nail polish available? How many do you buy at once? This is mind-blowing!!! I have a tiny box which I call my "nail box" which is approximately the size of a shoe box and my hubby thinks I'm crazy and I have too much nail stuff. If he walked in this room he'd probably faint. I'm just wondering how someone builds up a collection like this, time frame wise. Have you ever calculated how much you have spent?

[@KelliMarissa]

haha hey Lisa! Honestly this collection has been accumulated over about 8 years, I'd say I ended up purchasing a few hundred in total over the first four years or so, buying a few here and there and occasionally saving up for a full collection, and then once my KZbin channel started to grow, I started getting new nail polish collections in PR from brands in exchange for reviews. So the majority of these were just over the last few years and not purchased haha! Hope that clears up a few things!!

[@lenacheers4u]

I have a little over 200 bottles of polish and my mom and other adults think I'm crazy when I tell them that but my teen kids love it lol

[@ApparentlyNott]

WOAH that's crazy. I feel like there are so many polishes and so many of them look similar. seems super unnecessary to me, but of course, this is your job and you love nail polish! great video, im personally a fan of the cotton ball drawer!

[@Sweetheart2_]

I just downloaded Snupps now. Thank you for the great suggestion! This will help me organize my own nail polish collection. ❤️❤️

[@KelliMarissa]

Hope you find it helpful!

[@kirstenwunderlich4836]

I love seeing other people's collections! I currently have ~285, but that number is going up quickly because I spent my stimulus money, and the money I'm not spending on gas for my commute, on nail polish. I just bought a bunch of acrylic nail polish shelves that I plan on hanging this weekend to go on the wall behind the door in my bedroom. I like to see everything out in front of me, so drawers would drive me nuts. I also keep a spreadsheet of all my polishes because I'm an excel nerd, and I have everything organized on swatch sticks as well. I'm not interested in acquiring dupes, so having the swatch sticks handy is nice when I'm looking at live swatch videos and making my shopping list.

[@KelliMarissa]

That's a really smart way to keep track of your collection! I'm guilty of accidentally buying dupes forgetting I own them haha!

[@ellieboa]

mixing the top/base coats when they get to half way is such a good idea! no more rooting around the bottom of a bottle

[@KelliMarissa]

The bane of my existence haha! I will even do it with black/white nail polishes if I can!

[@ellieboa]

Doesn't it feel amazing to have them all organized lolll

[@jessicaknutson4502]

@@KelliMarissa except now they're all over my dining room table in orderly lines ... My dad and I are building a shelf for them but it's not done yet 🤪 Quarantine kind of ruined the construction schedule!

[@kiterika3393]

Before I even watch this whole video I already have to say I love love LOVE your Bowser shirt!

[@e.Kennedy246]

Your makeup and hair is beautifully lit!!! Also agree with the shelves/drawers used.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you so much!

[@asaandersson4790]

This is the nail polish nerds favourite kind of video! 🤤😍😄 Thank you so much for this! Stay safe and take care Kelli 💗

[@KelliMarissa]

Hahaha honestly I just love seeing peoples collections of anything, but nail polish is especially satisfying :P

[@letitbe7841]

I have about 40 OPI.. My go to for YEARS! Just started indulging in ILNP after watching Kelli swatching them... I may have to give my daughter my OPIs..fell hard in love with ILNP...

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha wow that's a big and amazing collection of OPI! They're my go to as well, great basic colors and amazing brush.

[@katarzynasoyka8538]

I watched your video whilst painting my nails and looking over my basket of polishes. I only have 40 or so polishes, so they still fit in my 'polish basket' which I keep in my bathroom cabinet. But if I keep buying polishes at the alarming rate that I've been doing lately (staying and home, too much tme to browse and do online shopping...) I might need to switch to drawers like you! I'm gonna steal your rainbow organising idea, I think it's sooo cool and looks great! My favourite drawer was the one with picture polish in it - it just looked so neat :)

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha thank you! I remember when I used to have a big tub of polish that I would keep under my bed - I can't believe it's how much it's grown!

[@icecreamonf1re626]

this is the BEST video EVER

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha so happy you had fun watching it~!

[@chasetaylor0000]

[@KelliMarissa]

It's definitely overwhelming! I try to keep the size under control but it's tough with so many pretty colors lolol

[@diamond6256]

I love the nail polish tower.

[@KelliMarissa]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@avigailestrada9499]

Kelli, you should do a craft video. Like make a journal with the most important moments in your life. Or like a nail polish book with all of your swatches.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh that would be so fun!!!!

[@nanetterodriguez8989]

Now that your all organized, OMG that was a lot of polish! Here’s a challenge for you. I’ve been doing this myself. Doing mani’s using all the polishes I haven’t used in forever. I put a little removable sticker on the polishes I’ve already used even if just for nail art or stamping. I can’t use again until all bottles have a sticker. Granted I only have about 300. 😂 Sometimes I have a different mani on each hand, but since I’m at home anyway I figure who cares. 😝 it’s been fun.

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg Nanette I actually love this idea. But knowing me, I'd last about one week before applying the same purple or gray that I was wearing the week before LOL

[@stacyunser2553]

I love ALL your videos!! Very informative...Question? How do you use your latex on your nails that come in a tub? Do you pour into a bottle or ??

[@KelliMarissa]

Yes i pour it into a bottle! Probably self explanatory lol but I do have a video on it in case you're curious about the process (in my latex playlist!) :)

[@stacyunser2553]

Kelli Marissa Thank you. I didn’t see that video. I’ll see if I can find it

[@cherylslane9727]

You should try Mode brand and Duri brand nail polish, amazing colors. If you like Indie brands.

[@MucksGirl]

Whenever my husband or family members tease me about how much polish I have, I always remind them that I know a couple of KZbinrs who own a lot more! And now my husband likes to joke that one of the main reasons I watch your channel is because I aspire to be like you and one day own over 2,000. If he only knew... lol

[@silwi3888]

that second Cirque drawer is absolutely gorgeous im 😍

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha I love how perfectly they fit!

[@cynthiaware4302]

Good ending. Love the storage idea. I would do the same if I had that many. I currently have a 3 drawer plastic storage container on wheels. 1 drawer nail polish another for tools, plates, tapes, cotton balls, sponges and so on then the last would be lamp, dryer, and electric file.

[@KelliMarissa]

I think that sounds like the perfect storage solution!

[@anne-mariee152]

Kelli, why don't you stamp the tops of your Maniology polishes? It made me anxious that I couldn't see your polish colors and they give you those sweet little swatch me stickers for that exact reason! 😁

[@jaids_place]

Wow!!! Kelli, this is unbelievably amazing!!

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm glad you liked the tour Judy!

[@bonniherself]

If you don't want to line all the drawers right now, you can use silicone drawer lining material (you can get it at a hardware store) and just roll it up and tuck it in the back of the drawer to take up the extra space.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh great idea!!

[@annmariegugliemino5009]

I personally love your cotton ball drawer and copied it. I have a desk (and only about 150 polishes) where I do my nails. I love reaching over and pulling stuff from my drawers before I get started. First thing I go for is a handful of cotton rounds; top drawer to the left! My granddaughters love it too. It's the little things...ha!

[@KelliMarissa]

It's such a convenient spot for them! I find bags of cotton balls so annoying now lol!

[@lauracapello2548]

I want that nail polish paradise! 😄 Beautiful collection 💅🏻😍

[@KelliMarissa]

Thank you Laura!!!

[@qurratt6570]

How you keep your nail polishes perfect mine dry up so i dont collect only have few

[@cristinanderson5021]

We talked on your last video of you organizing the polishes about wishing all brands making the caps the colors of the polish and it just reminded me that sometimes I take a bit of polish and paint on the cap so I can see what color it is better. Maybe that's a bit messy or too time consuming for over 2,000 polishes lol but I have like 20 at most. 🤷‍♀️

[@KelliMarissa]

Yeah I feel like at this point it's so daunting to take on the task of somehow labeling/showcasing the color!!

[@genesisperez2162]

Drooling over the Cirque Colors polishes 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@KelliMarissa]

Hehe :)

[@genesisperez2162]

Kelli Marissa crazy idea 💡 I would love to see your Cirque Colors collection swatched ?

[@threecats6385]

What a fun tour! I was impressed with your amazing collection. I was ready to reach in and try some on. Lol. I’m interested to know how frequently you change your polish? Also, regarding your squeaky drawer; if the drawer sides are wood and rubbing against wood rails as it goes in/out (wood rubbing on wood) you can use a bar of soap or a wax candle (not lit) to rub/coat on the drawer and rails. This creates a slippery surface that will help slide the drawer and reduce the friction that is making the noise. I hope it helps. Thanks for all the awesome swatches. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I'm gonna try it!! Soap is too valuable these days LOL but I've got lots of candles!

[@sabrinakartoum1658]

I thought simply nail logical had a lot but you have WAY more 😂. Love you Kelli

[@KelliMarissa]

Love u too!!

[@paigebailey1369]

I love your claddagh! I love that the band is weaved and not just plain. Also everyone is entitled to one junk drawer! See you're embarrassed for your "mess" but if it was me all of my stuff would be all over the place. The WHOLE top of the counter would be cluttered.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh gosh thank you Paige! I've read that the weave is meant to represent eternity, I just love that. And yeah to be honest, this area of my room is looking a lot worse for wear nowadays, I definitely need to do a declutter so I can get back to this level of neatness LOL

[@BrittneyLovesGames]

I just bought the Alex drawers from Ikea and reorganized my nail polish into them. I had them in plastic carrying cases, but I don't wanna keep buying those and have a ton of them. I know I have at least 400 bottles. I'll get the exact count when I stop buying more of them 😆

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh man it must have felt so good to organize everything away haha!!
