    How / where do you store them all?

    I have er.... probably around 100ish in various boxes and bags but I would like to keep them all together that way I dont forget about older ones.

    I was thinking of something like this

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Avonstar-classic-varnish-rack-cosmetic/dp/B004W6MA9C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1328900471&sr=8-3

    but I dont really have anywhere to put and and always thought (though I'm not sure why) that polish was best kept in a dark place.

    I wish I would take my own advice!

    Ikea Helmer or Ikea Alex (wide one) is wonderful storage solution for your polishes

    and I will never list my stash, no way, no how lol

    Today I'm wearing Models Own Aciid as the base and then I sponged Gosh's Lavender Love on top.
    Uber cool effect, very pleased with it :)

    I have a shelf in a cupboard to store mine and use some ikea boxes http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60192633/

    sort them by colour (pink box, red box etc) - very cheap solution to beauty boxes etc. I have 90 or so polishes and associated treatments/tools/files and they easily fit into one of those packs.
    As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again

    I've got mine in a chrome tray thing a bit like... http://csimg.pricesavvy.co.uk/srv/GB/00000389298339721/T/340x340/C/FFFFFF/url/robert-dyas-chrome-plated.jpg but not a cutlery one, it came with hairbrushes and bits in. They only just fit so I may need a rethink :D

    I store mine all in one drawer. Easy to pull out and run with if the house was on fire! :rotfl:
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Love my polishes, but hardly wear them.
    Anyone got any tips on applying shatter/crackle polish, had my first go tonight and didn't get very good results - may have applied too thin of coat
