Nail Polish Organization

On Monday, I was chatting with Casee and Melanie on twitter about various nail polish storage options. Since organizing my nail polish is one of my summer goals, I started hunting for inspiration on Pinterest. Check out some of my favorites below!

    Wow I thought I had a lot of polish. I keep mine in a clear box buying don’t know what my polish count is, I’m gearing about 30.

      It’s amazing to see how my collection has grown over the years :) I started out keeping mine in a box too, but now I have too many!

  2. I would love a full display like a salon! Mine are stored in clear containers inside the top drawer of my dresser. Last I counted, I had around 75 but I’m sure that has increased. I thought I had more… I had a friend in college who had nearly 300!

      Me too, that’s my dream way of organizing them! Wow, 300 is insane- that’s triple what I have!

  3. Ahh, that last one is unreal! Love all of these, of course. ;) I saw a lot of DIYs for a display similar to the first one, but I just know I’d be the one to knock off a bottle and have it spill all over my bathroom floor. The wooden posts (which have a proper name but I’m having a morning and just can’t remember it) are a brilliant solution!

      I know- when I found the last picture my jaw just dropped! Maybe someday in the future I’ll have that amazing of a collection! I’m definitely going to look into purchasing the one in the link you sent for my next apartment. Eee- it makes me so exciting to think of all my nail polishes on display like that! :)

      • Mine is supposed to be delivered between today and Tuesday, I think, so I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes! (:

  4. Thats a crazy amount of polish!!! I know that I change my mind a lot of colors but unless someone was doing my manicures for me regularly I would never own that much nail polish. I usually just keep them in a drawer lol I only have about 8 bottles!!

      Haha, I’m definitely guilty of owning way to many nail polishes! There are just so many colors out there that I like/want! :)

  5. Whoaaa… that’s a lot of nail polish. I keep mine in a Sephora bag and they all clank around, which is probably bad. I have to get some real storage for them.

      Yep, that last picture especially! I use my old Birchboxes to store them upright, but they’re still kind of all over the place!

    I like the fifth one, with the rings on the nail polish bottles. That’s not only a very nice way to store nail polishes, but also a good way to display your rings! They make the nail polishes look classy as well.
    Finding a way to display your jewellery is pretty difficult, especially my bracelets. Any good ideas on that?

      Yes, it’s sort of killing two birds with one stone! I have stacks of my bracelets on hooks in my room. I’ve also seen them sort of mixed together in a pretty bowl or stack around some sort of cylinder. I’m not sure if you live in the US, but the Container Store sells horizontal bracelet stands like this one ( http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10029288&N=&Ntt=bracelet). Hope this helps a bit! :)
