The OCD Files: Nail Polish Organization 101

I am borderline crazy/over-the-top OCD. Everything in my life has to be inline, perfect, organized, and clean or else I freak.

I always say to my boyfriend, “I can’t do anything until my ducks are in a nice & tidy little row”. Literally, I can’t even go to sleep if there is a sock on my floor. It gives me severe anxiety. Which brings me to my nail polish situation…

I used to work for Julep, so I have A LOT of polish, & my friends/fam/roomies love to raid my collection. Normal people don’t think twice about putting the label backwards, and I don’t blame them- I know I am 100% bat shit cray when it comes to that stuff. So, instead of letting people know how psycho I really am, I decided to pull all my polishes off their shelf, make a cutesie little swatch book with each color, and rearrange them so they are all color coded. Now, picking a color will be much more simple, efficient, & organized… and I will be much more sane.

K, off to paint my nails. Bye <3.  xx, E

P.S. If you’re OCD like myself, check out how I organize my closet & jewelry box.
