How to organize the nail polish

For those who are a fan of nail polish, buying one or more colors when entering a drugstore or cosmetics store is always a fun that is hard to resist, even when you have almost every shade of nail polish imaginable.

However, without organization, it is impossible to make the most of this large collection of nail polish colors and prevent them from spoiling due to lack of use or getting lost in the house.

Therefore, it is important to adopt some method of organization, and always try to check those that are getting old or close to winning to spend them soon and make room for new colors.


Check out some organization options for those who have a small amount of bottles and also for nail polish aficionados who have a real collection.

1. Shelf

For those who prefer to expose the nail polish in a corner of the house or in the salon itself, one option is the shelf. If you don't want to buy a ready made one, you can make yours using pallets or pieces of sanded and painted wood. Just have patience and dedication and it will be beautiful. This Mom's Gonna Snap blog shows how to make the shelf at home.

2. Tray

Another way to display your bottles stylishly and neatly is by using a metal, wood or acrylic tray and leaving the nail polish separated by color to make it look even more beautiful.

3. Drawer

Acrylic drawers are great for organizing various types of cosmetics such as makeup, brushes and why not nail polish? Because they are transparent, you can easily find color. Acrylic drawers are sturdy and can even be part of the decor, but are a higher investment. For those looking for a more affordable alternative, the idea is to opt for plastic drawers that you can easily find at home improvement stores.

4. Briefcases

Handmade cases specially made for nail polish, besides being practical and keeping your nail polish in sight, are a charm. You find this type of case on sites like Tanlup, Elo7, Airu and Etsy and prices vary greatly. There are also industrialized cases that are usually marketed as makeup cases, but can also be used to organize nail polish.


5. Shoe holder for storing nail polish

Creativity is a great ally for those who want to organize without having to resort to more expensive materials and prefer to enjoy what they already have at home. An idea in this regard is to adapt a door shoe rack to store the enamels. Organization is even more practical if the shoe rack is transparent.

In addition to the numerous home organizers you can adapt yourself, there are also the professional organizers you find at specialty salon stores. For those who work in this area or have many nail polishes, they can be an interesting alternative.
