Nail Polish Organization?

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 

Hey everyone.. I've been looking around on the forum and found a ton of great pictures on how people have stored their makeup.. but I was wondering how you guys have your nail polish bottles stored.. I have a little over 100 polishes (yuck.gif I know) but right now I have them all thrown in a little wicker bin, and it's just not working out.. Any suggestions and input would be great! Thanks!

I have acrylic nail racks hanging on my wall. The ones I have hold 90 each. I got mine at head2toebeauty.com

 

I keep my extras in a plastic chest of drawers like this that I bought at Walmart.

Dalylah, I like the acrylic storage! I'm bad, mine are sitting in tubs and beauty boxes, organized by brand lol. A clear storage solution would be great, so I can see what I've got. smile.gif

Those mount up super easy on the wall. They are heavy to ship but definitely worth it. Save yourself some shipping money and order two at once.

 

Ignore the bad lighting and the dust please. icon_redface.gif

omg I need one of those. I wish I was living somewhere more permanent than I am now so I could hang something like that on the wall. Maybe I'll do it anyway, lol.

Honestly they would be easy to take down and put back up if you moved. It's truly no harder than hanging a picture frame.

I bought shoe boxes from the container store.

 

http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10001753&N=&Ns=p_sort_default%7C0&Ntt=shoe+box

 

 

They're 4.25" tall (most of my taller polishes are about 3.75")

 

They're sturdy, clear, and stackable.  and they're under $2 each.  I have a couple boxes of them under my bathroom sink lol.

Here is a link to what I use:

 

http://www.michaels.com/3-Drawer-Organizer-Cube/sb3460,default,pd.html?start=25&cgid=products-scrapbooking-storage

 

I have my Julep & Zoya in the top drawer (nearly 100 with plenty of room for more), drugstore brands in the second and the third contains separators, nail art, misc. I love it. It currently sits on the floor but I'm planning on moving it to my dresser. They can be stacked if more are needed in the future. I may buy one for makeup/samples. I believe all Michaels' storage containers are currently 50% off (which would make this one around $20)

Has anyone tried a hanging shoe organizer? I saw this on pintrest, loved it and tried it in my new house in my husbands closet haha.. It works great. Its clear and I can see through it, I just organized it by colors.

I use the tall Alex from Ikea:

 

 

Each drawer holds up to 100 bottles (depends on the size of the bottles).  Here are a couple of the drawers in my Alex:

I have an Alex too but the shorter chubbier version. The wider drafting drawers make it so useful to store so many different kinds of makeup besides nail polish. The first three drawers are slimmer and  perfect for face and eye compacts, liners, and mascaras. the last three are deeper and are great for standing up lipstick and nail polish. I use it for a nightstand and for makeup storage. My 5th drawer holds half assorted things (perfume samples, contacts, hair ties, etc) and the other half is my nail polish. I re-organized my nail polish and used my sample society boxes to hold and categorize them into high end, low end, and assorted treatments and topcoats. Then there's a small tray to hold my nail clippers, files, konad stamper and plates, and other misc. nail related things.

Had to camouflage my konad stamper polish in my hair stuff so that my Roomie doesn't really notice it and end up using it.
