I was so inspired by cilucia's latest stash post, I'm going to steal the whole thing, including her first paragraph. ;) Real Life has been kicking my arse, and shows no signs of letting up, but I will try my best to post at least once a week, begging your pardons if I miss one.
In the meantime, here's a state of the stash post: nail polish edition! With thanks to the commentators on my last nail post -- you can see the results of the edit now :)

I have a few more bottles of RBL and Paul&Joe (left in Hong Kong) but in total I try to keep the collection at (just) under 100 bottles. They live in four stackable drawers from Muji, with a swatch fan 'table of contents' for each drawer bcause I'm crazy swatchsicles are fun to make, okay?
