Getting My Nail Polish off Of the Floor

I love nail polish. I paint my nails al least twice a week…

And although my current collection is creeping up on the 150 bottle mark, no two colors are identical.

The issue that I’m having right now is that I have no proper way of storing them.

Right now they sit atop two boxes that I have yet to throw out. One the bright side, I can see everything, and can find what I’m looking for pretty quickly.  It’s better than my current makeup solution as far as functionality goes. But it’s ugly…

I’ve seen the type of nail polish racks that look like they belong in a salon, or in a store, but for use in my home, I don’t like the look.

Then there are the ones that you mount on the walls, and even though they take up a lot less space, I don’t like the look of these either, or want my nail polish hanging on the wall.  I would need 2 of them, and the only place that I’d be willing to hang them is in my closet.

Then finally, there are the table top displays. I dislike these least of all, and at around $35 dollars for one that holds about 70 bottles, this is probably the one that I would choose. Well, if I decide not to build my own. I have a bunch of scrap wood, and some left over paint. Hmm…maybe I’ll go do that now.

Oh, by the way, today I am wearing Safari Beige by Christian Dior.

It’s a very pretty safe for work type of color. I’m sure the color isn’t all that unique, but I don’t have anything else like it.

I’m off to go draw plans for a nail polish rack, so I will talk to you in the next one!

Hasta luego!
