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 (
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!

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.

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.post #8 of 1312/27/12 at 6:58pm- Annelle

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.
post #9 of 1312/28/12 at 6:14ampost #10 of 1312/28/12 at 9:52amHere is a link to what I use:
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)

post #13 of 132/16/13 at 7:47pmI 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.
