Of course! We got you covered in this department, too! Try to look for the following at your local thrift shops and your problem should be fixed in no time!
Display Rack

If you’re looking for a quick and easy fix for your nail polish dilemma, then this is your best bet. You can look for one in Amazon or find these at your nearest Target or Walmart. Look for the one that fits your need. You can buy a small one that is totally dedicated to your polishes or a bigger one if you want a single container for your beauty products.
Storage Boxes
|
If you really want to keep spending to a minimum, storage boxes should do just fine. These boxes should only cost around $3 at your local store. If you don’t mind keeping two or three of these under your bed or table, then, by all means, go with these.
Metal Rack

This multi-purpose container will definitely be a good substitute to DIY nail polish organizers simply because of the material it’s made of. Metal is durable and is sure to withstand the weight of all your nail polishes. Get one that is stainless so it won’t rust, plus, you hardly have to maintain it.
