Dose of Lola: Stash

I've decided to take a new approach to my stash chronicles. To better benefit you (and me), I've decided to take better, closeup bottle pictures of my entire stash. Of course, this is a project that will probably be never-ending, but I think it will eventually be a great resource. I also hope to have everything swatched one day...

Of course it's easier to start small, so here are my relatively teeny Illamasqua and NARS collections

Illamaqua Milf, Nomad, Muse, Rampage

Illamasqua Jo'Mina, Force (faded), Phallic, Baptiste

Illamasqua Load, Purity, Lament, Collide, Stance

NARS Pokerface, Jungle Red, Purple Rain

NARS Bad Influence, Desperado, Zulu, Galion

NARS Ecume, Orgasm, Versailles, Kismet

NARS Candy Darling, Arabesque, Chinatown, Saratoga

My BL stash is the first I've purged, and I wanted to share that with you. I went from 52 to 38! Here's what's left:

1st row: Pink Ribbon, Tea with the Queen, Tart with a Heart, All Hail McQueen, All Hail the Queen (they're different, I swear), The Full Monty, Wallis, Toff, Queen Vic

2nd row: Bumster, Bossy Boots, Dosh, Blagger, Lillibet's Jubilee, Knackered, Muggins, No More Waity Katie, Marrow, The Black Knight

3rd row: Lady Muck, Victoriana, Artful Dodger, Slapper, Henley Regatta, Thames, British Racing Green, Bluey, Royal Navy, Mariner

Rosie Lee, Trout Pout, MacBeth, Primrose Hill Picnic, Chuffed, Saucy Jack

Disco Biscuit and Branwen's Feather are out on loan at the moment.

I only purged things that I've swatched/tried, so it still may shrink some more because many of these are untried.

I love seeing my purge pile grow; it's refreshing. :)

Here it is - the portion of my stash I was dreading to photograph. I honestly don't have as much as I thought I did, which is wonderful.

OPI

Whenever I think I don't have enough reds or pinks, I look to my OPIs to remind me just how crazy that notion is.

OPI DS

A lot of these were dustied, hence the grody caps.

Purging these will be so much fun. :)

I'm back with more brands from my stash. It's so interesting to see what colors I'm drawn to. This is also another exercise in purging my stash. The more I see how many similar polishes I have, the easier it will be to get rid of some of them. Thanks for indulging me during this arduous process.

Adorable minis!

My Zoyas were all over the place! Each time I took a photo, I remembered I had more sitting around in another drawer.

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. You know how life goes.

I've started taking pictures of my stash, which has proved to be quite the task. Eventually I'd like to have close up shots of my entire stash, large group shots will have to do for now. Here's what I've accomplished so far.

Note: I do apologize for photo quality (or lack thereof); I only had enough time to take one picture of each group.
