  • 3 box lids + box bottoms (preferably birchbox boxes)

I’m Too Busy! Can I Just Buy One?

|

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.

Making your own nail polish organizer will definitely make your life easier when you’re doing your beauty routine. Having storage for all your nail polish will make your place a lot neater and choosing what polish to use should be more fun. With that said, go get your stuff organized so your me-time will be more enjoyable!
