Haha, I haven't counted mine but I know I have more than 5 glosses and I hate them too. Even 3 is too much to me since I don't like them

theyre just so horrible. sticky and goopy and heavy. I think I keep buying them because so many people love them, there has to be something good about it!! but there never is. now I will say that there is one brand of lip gloss that I love, its not sticky, not heavy very nice colors. but its $26 a tube.... :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> so not worth it.

 
Sorry to thread hijack, OP!

that's a whole lot of nailpolishes! by the way, since u have sooo many nailpolishes, do any of them dry up before u get around to using them? juz curious. u could open a manicure salon with the amount of ur nailpolishes. drools.
I haven't had any dry up yet, except for some crackles. I just thinned them, and they were fine. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

your nail polish collection needs an entire thread to itself. how do you store those???
I have a desk made from 4 3-drawer cubes, which is where I store most of my polish. This is a really bad picture, but you can kind of see the drawers and how my desk is set up: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/LolitaBee/41a63dc8.jpg 

The rest of my stash is in 2 Ikea Helmers

I need to do a nail polish haul.
My top three favorites are Deborah Lippmann, Illamasqua, and Dior. They all have great formulas (for the most part) and beautiful colors.

 
Just counted my stash. I thought I had a lot of make-up, but compared to a lot of you ladies, mine is a baby stash

Hmm...don't really have any suggestions then...most of my glosses are from B&BW. I can't get enough of them! I think they're the least sticky glosses available. At least the C.O. Bigelow mentha ones. I think I only have 1 of the "Liplicious" ones, but I know I don't like it much...I don't even know where it is which means something since I keep my main glosses in my purse!!

 
You guys are making me happy. I keep shoving my iPad under my hubby's nose saying "look! Look! I am NOT CRAZY!" Happen to have counted my nail polish today. I was at 80+. Ok, probably 90 post my Rite Aid run for cough medicine for the kiddo. I can never not look.....

 
On the lipgloss sticky subject... Covergirl Wetslicks feels like a lipstick on. Not sticky at all. It is the only lipgloss I'll wear due to everything being nasty and sticky feeling.

Ahahah. I sent a picture of it to my boyfriend, I told him that he was never allowed to say I have too much again.. he agreed :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> lol

I only have NARS in Deep Throat but I REALLY want to buy them all! 

 
I think it might be time for me to do an inventory on my collection...but I'm afraid to know how massive it has grown in the last year! And it will grow even more next weekend when I hit NY for IMATS!
