I realized that I only really had two options. Either throw some of my bottles out (which I didn't want to do), or figure out where the heck I was going to neatly store all these polishes.

Nail polish displays racks are probably the easiest, most practical way to organize your polishes. This works best for the chica with a small collection.

Have any wide cylinder or square vases lying around? Use them to store a few of your favorite polishes!

Toss those old candies away and replace them with your nail lacquers. It’s prettier and healthier too!

Drawer

Use an empty drawer if you have. I recommend standing them up instead for easier accessibility.

Display your newest polishes neatly in a makeup tray along with a few other beauty items. It looks neat and chic.

Shelves

Who says nail polish shelves are only for beauty salons? Try hanging a few on an empty wall and make it pop by color coordinating.

Spice rack

Haven’t used that spike rack in months? Don’t throw it away, just use it to store your polishes.

Shoe drawers

Clear shoe drawers unlike shoe boxes, make it visible and easier to access your polishes. You can get these at the Container Store.
