I've recently come up with this grand vision for my stash, where I'll finish swatching everything on nail wheels by the first weekend in November, then I'll reorganize my Helmers by brand so I can find things more easily (they're mostly by color now, for the swatching project), then I'll spend the winter weeding out dupes and near dupes and in spring finally have that blog sale I've been pondering for months. This would be so much easier to accomplish if I'd just manage to stop buying new things, but I don't see that happening.
OMG this is a lot of greens heheheh I love them all!!! Can't wait for the blog sale... coming from another addict that keeps saying I won't buy more polishes!!! I can't STOP!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must have incredible patience to swatch all of those polishes. The amount of polishes you own is staggering: I find swatching my collection of 432 polishes as daunting. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWhen you purchase more polishes how do you add to your nail wheels? Do you wait until you have enough of one type of colour to swatch them so you can do it based on gradient or swatch it immediately?
Hmmm... I don't see Orly Enchanted Forest in there, anywhere. *evil grin*
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as too much green! This was a post for my sore eyes, yummy!
ReplyDeleteSome of those are definitelly dupes!! So much green!!
ReplyDeleteomg, how many of them, and how beautiful these shades are, i love them all *.*
ReplyDeletep.s. if it's too much for you, don't worry, i'll do you a favor and give them good home ;-)
Wow, that IS a lot haha I don't think I even have one!
ReplyDeleteGreen and mint shades are my absolute favorite, appreciate the swatches!
ReplyDeletethe mints are my favorites! and the deep emeralds :D
ReplyDeleteSO many!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOW!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing and awesome collection!!!!
Can I come over when I need to do a St. Paddy's mani? Wow...thats a lot of green.....very funny for a gal who wasn't into greens....
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice collection of greens!
ReplyDeleteI'm green with envy!
OMG this is heaven, I would steal all of those from you :P I'm a sucker for greens even though I don't wear them often, but there are not so many shades available here and all those look divine, especially the first wheel. I want OPI DR68 but I notice you don't have Hey Get in Lime, do you? I am really interested to see how those two compare
ReplyDeleteoh, and I think the pic of the second wheel is the first one, repeated.
ReplyDeleteYou will, most certainly, have the luck of the Irish on your side.
ReplyDeleteThanks for understanding my mania, everyone!
ReplyDeleteA Polished Touch, I generally put new polishes in a "to be swatched" drawer and wait until I have at least half a wheel to start swatching them. Depending on how many I've accumulated between swatching sessions, sometimes I can do a nice gradient and sometimes they're more random.
hermetic, thanks for catching that photo boo boo--it's fixed now! My spreadsheet says I have Hey Get in Lime, but it doesn't tell me if it's on a wheel yet--I'll make myself a note to do a comp of those two.
I have #1! Haha. I usually don't have any of the nail polishes. I really like green and yes you have come around to liking it! lol
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want more greens! They're all so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteThats a lot of greens ! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the mint green wheel! Who knew there were so many out there, I remember only a few years ago there were hardly any mint green polishes out there...
ReplyDeleteahh greens
ReplyDeletethey are all so pretty
Gosh, you have so many greens! I used to hate green but the last few years I love it, especially green polish. Damone Roberts 1968 is gorgeous! It is hard to stop isn't it? I always find a way to justify another color. I usually tell myself it is just shade darker and I therefore need it.
ReplyDeleteThis post was so satisfying. Ahh. I love greens, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI found the first wheel very calming to look at.
ReplyDelete:)
love your variety tho(:
ReplyDelete<3 BB
Love the green collection.
ReplyDeleteYou are serious about your greens! I'm really digging the darker ones!
ReplyDeleteWow you sure got a lotta greens!0 I think my favorites are the paler ones, specially number 1 and 12:
ReplyDeleteWow I love your polish collection so much! And this green collection is incredible!
ReplyDelete=]
Now Come On KarenD! You can NEVER have too many green cremes!! Just picture my collection!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is H2...BTW I used to avoid green polish, considering it a "young&weird" color (infact I owned one in my 20's), but since I started blogging my love for uncommon colors as green and greys really grew very much. I have more greens than pinks, actually!
ReplyDeleteGreat proyect, I'll be waiting for your big sale!
