NAILS from the DARKSIDE: @topictuesdays #topictues So...when I entered the nail community it was 2012 and I think I owned about 7 polishes (including a clear i used as a top coat). It soon grew as I began blogging and at the height of my blogging I would say a fair estimate of owned polishes was about 1800. Then I had to move where I basically had to fit the essentials into my car and my collection dwindled considerably. Today I own about 350 polishes but they are all without a doubt my favorite or favorites.
