Hi everyone! In this (very long) video, I show my entire nail polish collection and declutter a whole bunch. I had a request to do more of a talk-through so I didn't do the fast-forward footage I normally do with my other decluttering videos... I'm thinking of going back to the fast-forward footage because this video ended up being so long even though I edited it down a lot. Please let me know which you prefer!
My next step is to work on a nail polish swatching series, where I swatch/wear 10-15 nail polishes, show them in a video, and explain which ones I'm keeping. The first video in this series should be up by the end of January. :)
About Decluttering 101:
In Aug/14, I embarked on a little something I dubbed "Decluttering 101" - basically, I try to declutter for at least 10 minutes and let go of at least 1 item every single day. I have been loving the results but I still have a long journey ahead. I set a goal at the beginning of this year to finish the bulk of my decluttering by Jun 30/15 so we'll see how it goes!
Thank you for watching and have a great weekend!
Eyes - UD Naked Palette
Lips - Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12-Hour Lipstick in Inspired and Sula Lip Gloss in First Kiss
Nails (during intro/outro) - OPI in Mermaid's Tears
Nails (during declutter portion) - H&M Nail Polish in Super Pink

I just discovered this video and I really love it. It's one of the best declutter videos around as it is fast but also so nicely filmed. Can't wait to check out more videos! :)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

The Painted Nail thank you so much!! your comment made my day! :)

@PebblesFlintstone67 9 лет назад

Omg, good for you...I wish we lived closer...I would have come shopping at your place...lol....some of the colours you were letting go of...I was screaming....noooooooooooo......lol....I'm very impressed with your progress! XxxMaria

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

lol it was hard to let go of the ones i did, and towards the end, i found i was keeping more and more. i really have to pare down a little more because i have a lot that look exactly the same... dupes upon dupes upon dupes! i wish we lived closer too. we'd have so much fun!! :) xx

@kathleenwprince 9 лет назад

Wow, over 100 polishes eliminated from your collection, amazing! Love that you have so many different brands. I literally own less than 20 bottles of nail polish, so this was fascinating to watch (not kidding)!

@oojit007 8 лет назад

This video made me cackle with laughter. It started out with some brutal cuts and by the end "I'm gonna keep all of them". Particularly laughed at the reds that 'all look the same, you can't tell the difference on the nail... I'm keeping all of them.' Really enjoyed watching this 👍

@AuthenblissityMain 8 лет назад

haha thanks so much! i think by the end, i was so tired of making decisions that i just went with keeping everything. :)

@KellyMcKelly 9 лет назад

I love how you did this video. It was really neat to see all the polishes that you had!

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thank you so much kelly! :)

@kareng8512 9 лет назад

Loved this video! I really enjoyed the talk through rather than the fast forward. Good for you for purging, I don't think I could have done that!

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thand you for your feedback - it really helps!! i filmed my lip gloss declutter with the talk through method and it will be posted soon. :)

@rondashw 9 лет назад

Be Proud You Did Good! You were "cut throat" in your decisiveness...i was watching your video saying, "NO!! NOT THAT ONE!" :-)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

lol thank you so much!! :)

@hatcherbabygirl 9 лет назад

You continue to inspire me. I only had about 80 but I went through like you showed here and got rid of 50 of them.

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

that is amazing! you did so well...

@Annemi8 9 лет назад

I wish I had the same strength you have when letting go of polishes!

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

i thought it would be more difficult, but once i let go of the first few, it became a little easier!

@AlexandriaVaun 9 лет назад

OMG Lesley 370 polishes! You have a giant np collection! I love how you filmed this with the grouped by color closeups! You did an awesome job of decluttering! Oh and the Christian Dior gold glitter polish bottle packaging is gorgeous! Have a wonderful weekend! XOXO

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thanks so much! :) yes, i was quite the nail polish hoarder hehe. it felt good to let go. hope you're doing well! :) x

@AlexandriaVaun 9 лет назад

This actually inspired me to clean mine out too. I have polishes that I haven't used for years! I'm well dear...I've been sick all week, but now ready to get back to YT. Have a great weekend! X

@SydniMicaela 9 лет назад

This is so interesting to watch! So many pretty nail polishes!

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thank you so much! :)

@aanchalarora5196 8 лет назад

That ice cream polish is sooo cute

@AuthenblissityMain 8 лет назад

i agree!! it's adorable! :)

@LivyZhou 9 лет назад

Your declutter videos help me a lot on letting go of my beauty things, and share them (the good ones) to the people around me. Thank you for the inspiration. For nail polishes, I only keep half of my OPI, and all of my Deborah Lippmann. Others are given away.

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thanks so much olivia! that's great that you are decluttering as well. it does feel good to let go! :)

@TrendDen 9 лет назад

Fantastic job on what is just a first pass. Over 100 gone so phenomenal, keep it up and I also have to say the way you filmed this de clutter was awesome

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thank you denyse!! i am actually excited to let go of more. :)

@rachelnewton3363 9 лет назад

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

@ShopSRJ 9 лет назад

Loved the way you filmed this!! 👏😊 what a collection!!! So pretty!! I love brown metallic shades too :))

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thanks so much sara!! it's way too much so i'm going to be decluttering even more. :)

@Candy1469 9 лет назад

L'Oreal "charmed I'm sure" is one of my FAVOURITE nail polishes ever! I always have a bottle in my collection :) As well as Essie "Pennytalk"

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

i pulled charmed i'm sure to wear in february after reading your comment! i may try pennytalk as well... i've seen swatches of it but i don't think i've ever tried it myself. :)

@Candy1469 9 лет назад

petitepearstyle I am just about to do my nails as I type. I will be alternating "Charmed I'm sure" and ORLY "Rage", and as an accent nail my ring finger will also have Revlon's "Sparkling" (a pink chunky glitter)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

that sounds pretty!!! i'm wearing charmed i'm sure right now and i love it!! :)

@stylishandliterate 9 лет назад

LOL while I'm watching you declutter your collection, I'm writing down shades that I would like to pick up for myself! I still haven't moved my nail polishes to the new house... I don't nearly have as many as you, but I'm dreading transporting them. I almost always break at least one bottle :|.. Awesome job decluttering! Can't wait to watch the lippy purge :)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

lol you're bad!! :) have you moved a lot over already? i hope you're having a great vacay! you must be so happy you're out of the deep freeze. xx

@okmogi 9 лет назад

Great rich quality declutter video.

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thank you!

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

@KathleenP- i find it amazing that you have 20 polishes... i actually used to have around that many before i went crazy (post youtube of course). i hope to let go of another 1/3 of my collection over the next couple months but it's going to be tough...

@ManjotBadesha 9 лет назад

You are lucky you still have the old version of the Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, I recently ran out and when I went to go repurchase it, it was a reformulated and had glitter in it.

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

i heard that it was reformulated. :( why mess with a great thing? i love the old version... it is perfect.

@ManjotBadesha 9 лет назад

I know :( They wanted to change things up. Sally Hansen seemed to have gotten a lot of grief for the change and are looking into more testing. instagram.com/p/pefMiSrU1T/ I just hope the old version comes back the opacity and colour can't be beat.

@ColormeLEOPARD 8 лет назад

My drug store has both Pacifics... The old and new

@Brittainy89 9 лет назад

It would be so hard to let go of the Julep's since they are so small haha :) I really need to do this for my collection... also have probably close to 400... have stopped buying as many but there are still so many! Now I have been really into indie polishes... they are all so different I feel like I can justify it... :| Great video! I liked the talking as well - I don't feel like it was too long at all! :)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

it's so true... i wanted to hang onto all my julep polishes because they are so easy to store and line up so nicely! i only have a few indies... they are so beautiful and unique. thanks so much - i will keep doing talk-throughs for the rest of my decluttering videos. have a great weekend! :)

@goguma814 8 лет назад

I wouldn't have been able to get rid of the 2 Julep polishes in "Winona" and "Fay" because that's my Nana's name. Winona Fay :)

@AuthenblissityMain 8 лет назад

that's a beautiful name! :)

@BlissDreams 9 лет назад

Amazing! X

@Weeping-Angel 6 лет назад

Cristine should try this

@jshowal 9 лет назад

I always mark on the bottle in the UPC code white area with a pen when I use a polish that way I really now what I use and what can go away

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

that's a great idea! i'm going to start doing that... thank you! :)

@christettec3045 9 лет назад

good job, Leslie, you are a strong woman for getting rid of all of the polishes that you did. p.s. you should have a blog sale :-)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

you are very sweet!! i am always procrastinating with the blog sale but hopefully soon. :)

@26laf 9 лет назад

Great job. I'm decluttering my nail polish and was hoping to donate the ones I don't want so someone else can use them - thanks for the idea to take them to Goodwill, I think I'll do that.

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thank you! :)

@changingmel 9 лет назад

Great job paring down your collection! I have a question about your swatch sticks - how do you label them? I have oodles hanging around waiting for me to swatch my polishes but I'm not sure where to start with the labelling aspect.

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

thank you! i use avery labels. i was really fussed about it in the beginning, but after a while, i just really wanted to get it done. i basically cut one label into three lengthwise (i don't measure or anything... i just eyeball it) and then i write the name of the polish on it. it's not the prettiest because my printing is inconsistent but it works. :)

@Raspy1891 6 лет назад

I used to write on my swatch sticks in permanent marker but now I use a label maker which is much neater. I got the label maker off Amazon.

@CrisKlu 8 лет назад

all of those are soooooooooi pretty I Wish I could have all of your nails Polishes that you don't want

@AuthenblissityMain 8 лет назад

+sasha klucefski thank you!

@TheSanneFabulous 2 года назад

Do you still collect nail polish? If so, an updated nail polish declutter would be a great idea!

@AuthenblissityMain 2 года назад

Thanks so much! I don't collect nail polish anymore but I do a makeup inventory every year or so where I show what I still have in terms of nail polish. I think I'll be recording the next one in a few months. :)

@lwoolse 8 лет назад

Love this video

@AuthenblissityMain 8 лет назад

+lwoolse thank you!! :)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

@Megan Rumney - sorry i haven't had a chance to check but i will post here once i do!

@georginaashley5062 9 лет назад

You had so many julep nail polishes x

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

i used to take the julep box every month and sometimes i would upgrade too! it's amazing how quickly my collection built up...

@jmaria6644 8 лет назад

6:09 i think there is a pllish named after me! YES!

@AuthenblissityMain 8 лет назад

hooray!!! :)

@milliesabine2107 8 лет назад

same my name is Millie and i think there was a dark bluey-purple julep polish called Millie!

@Torontobeautyreviews 9 лет назад

Did you say 370 polishes?!? OMG Lesley that will take you a while to go through lol! Thank goodness I'm still kind of chicken to wear certain colours of nail polish. Narrows it down quite a bit for me ;)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

lol yup!! i decluttered a bunch though and slowly working on sorting through the rest! :)

@niiidddhhhiii 9 лет назад

Good job :) I'm LOVING Julep Julianne right now. I keep using it lol I had to force myself to use other polishes just so I could have Julianne for a little bit longer. Did you get rid of Julep Camille (glitters with light coverage)? It's such a pretty color and really transforms any other polish you have on

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

i just checked my nail polish "inventory" (excel spreadsheet) and i actually didn't have camille! it sounds really pretty.

@niiidddhhhiii 9 лет назад

It is! Do you no longer receive Julep then? Do you happen to know the name of the first light Julep glitter in the "glitters with light coverage" section? I really like it and I want to see if I have that one (now that I know it's not Camille)

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

i know exactly the one you mean... i looked up the swatch and it was actually one of the 6 or 7 polishes that i rescued... it's called brenda. :)

@niiidddhhhiii 9 лет назад

ugh I don't have that one! lol I guess it's okay, I do have a ton of similar ones that I need to go through first...I'm glad that you rescued that one. It will look great on you :)

@evelyntandya9055 9 лет назад

what r u gonna do with the others that u dont like?

@JayH2003 6 лет назад

I could never do this 😂

@animegirl7008 9 лет назад

2:05 I have that Sally Hansen polish I've never seen any one else have that one omg yay

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

+I HeartAnimals8 lol i don't even remember when i got that nail polish! i did use quite a bit of it compared to my other ones. :)

@animegirl7008 9 лет назад

me too i like alot

@juliannaswygert1263 9 лет назад

where do you buy the things to swatch on? thanks love your vids

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

Lori Jenkins thank you very much!! i bought them from ebay... just search for swatch sticks and they should pop up. :)

@juliannaswygert1263 9 лет назад

petitepearstyle thank you

@selenastephenson5705 9 лет назад

What do you use to swatch the polishes?!

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

+Selena Stephenson i use clear swatch sticks that i purchased on ebay.

@natalieayala7800 9 лет назад

lol i love watching declutter vids, honestly this one is not helpful I own 4 nail polishes ad I am thinking of getting rid of one that I do not "love" lol I mean why own more than just one f each color yes you are getting rid of many but you are keeping four or five of the same color I literally own a dark red, a pinky red, a nude pink and a nude brown that will match everything and I will always be wearing one of my favs

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

+Natalie Ayala lol thanks for your honesty! one of my friends was just telling me yesterday that she has 2 nail polishes for the fall/winter and 2 for the spring/summer so she actually finishes them over the 6 month period and buys more each season. i find that amazing as well as your collection of 3/4 nail polishes... i am hoping to narrow my collection down a lot more but it is going to take me some time as i find it hard to part with products. everyone is different and, in this video, i am just trying to document my progress.

@natalieayala7800 9 лет назад

yes ofcourse I was able to declutter down to a few items just about every category except books I find it the most difficult, I got rid of many and are now in a box to donate to the library but I find myelf reaching into the pile to keep more and I am keeping many, I wish I could declutter more books but that is my downfall the saddest part is- I dnt even like to read lol

@rissajaneen 9 лет назад

I have way too many nail polishes too! It's one of my favorite things to buy though because I love all the fun colors. I started a Project Polish as a way to help me use up some of my collection: rissajaneen.com/project-polish-2015/ I have a metal nail polish rack in my bathroom, and I have told myself that I can't buy any more polishes because they won't fit on the rack! Good job decluttering and letting go!

@AuthenblissityMain 9 лет назад

what a fun project... i'm impressed by how much you've used out of the polishes you chose! good luck with your project... i look forward to seeing updates. :)

@JayH2003 6 лет назад

I could never do this 😂

@AuthenblissityMain 6 лет назад

lol!! :)
