I just like the thrill of buying a polish I love the look of - I don't bother to think about when I might actually get around to wearing it!

I love buying polish, been out today and found some bargains. I have actually avoided posting pics in the latest purchases thread this month as it has been shocking, cost aside I have received about 110 bottles this month so far.

I guess I just don't have the time to paint my nails as much I'm going away for work a lot more now which is restricting my use of crazy colours.

I really should get my arse into gear though- I've got so many to use!!

Ok, I lied ! I have finally had a proper count up today and I have 169 in total with 25 untrieds as I had forgotten the set of 12 kiddy Halloween polishes I got in TK Maxx last year plus a couple of others that I have swatched but not worn. I guess that's too bad over 11 years is it?
Feeling the need though to take off what I put on last night (kiko green magnetic) and try something different!

I really must have a count up of my polishes. I have lots of untried purchases from this forum and eBay still in their packaging.

If it is the former that is quite an untried stash. My problem is I want to try my new pretties immediately and the old ones get forgotten about.

333 untried I'm compiling another sale as we speak!

You have nearly twice as many untrieds as I do polishes

ha ha I feel like an old hand now!

Personally I think the actual acquisition of the polish is as addictive as the nail painting.

not that many as I had 3 months no buy in Jan Feb and March this year so used most of my untried then

I did buy about 45 in April and I try to use lots in any one mani

eg the 3 2true I used in one mani grey plus 2 glitters
the speckle mani used 6 polishes 5 colours and L'Oreal confettis
the galaxy manicure used loads but not posted that one yet
glitter mani used 5 different colours as I had a different colour on each finger

so that is 14 not including the galaxy which used splodges of different colours

I have done more manis just not posted them yet

but when I get a pile of polishes I try to use as many as I can possibly ram on each hand

these are my untrieds

im running out of space...help

My only advice is use them quicker im afraid!

im trying, i change my mani every 2 or 3 days

I've got mine in a box by my desk - just counted and there are 39 in there. Once I've used them I put them into their respective colour drawer in my helmer........... in theory, because my helmer is now FULL to overflowing!

Polishes that just arrived I don't count as untried (cheating), and I got a massive parcel from a friend in Texas yesterday. These sit on my desk until either I've worn them, or I've decided they've been around long enough to be called 'untried' (two or three weeks). I've got 22 of these right now (but 16 of those arrived yesterday)...... so I suppose I have 61 untrieds really

I'm doing an [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on my blog at the moment - this might help me deal with the older ones! Feel free to join in the challenge!

Does it count if you 'try' them on a nail wheel?!!!
I had a little look last night and I'd guesstimate that a good 25% of my stashette remains unworn.

If swatchign counts then I have no untrieds! they all get put on a stick before being put away.
