Nail Polish Collection & Storage ♥



I love nail polish, I'm forever buying bottles of it.
I used to store it in a drawer, but i hauled so many polishes that it wouldnt shut, so i went on the search for a shelf.
Early on a sunday morning, i dragged myself out of bed to my local car boot sale and while perusing the isles, i came across a little white shelf for £3...Yes, £3! Bargin.
A lick of white paint and it was good as new. Now it proudly hangs on my bedroom wall, all organised and pretty.

I really recommend storing your polishes like this, its so easier to find what your looking for and because they're not laying on their sides the varnish dosnt leak into the cap, which causes the lid to get stuck and the polish to split.

I must admit, i'm a slight nail polish snob. I love my OPI and my Nails Inc. Although Revlon and Barry M do some fabulous colours aswell for a fraction of the price.

On the bottom row i keep all my OPI polishes, Middle row has all my Nails Inc and The top row is a variety of various brands such as Barry M, Nars, Nubar, China Glaze, Zoya, Gosh and Essie.

I took these picture a few weeks ago, and since then i have discovered the brilliant brand Models Own which now has taken over most of the top row!

I need to stop buying polishes, or i may have to hunt down another shelf...or two.

Whats your favourite brand and how do you store your polishes?

Whats in my...Basket? ♥

...all 4 of my makeup drawers look like this:


a mish mash of everything all jumbled up and in the mornings it took me an extra 10 minutes looking for things, it just wasnt working for me!
But now ive found something that workes wonderfully. A BASKET, Not any old bastket, a pretty blue floral one ofcourse...




Ive tried a makeup bag...but everythings piled up together and i'm always scared of things smashing and cracking, like delicate MSF's...Makeup isnt cheap y'know.
I still store everything in the drawers, but keep my staples in the basket.
Its so easy now to locate everything and i just swich some products around a couple of times a week depending on what blush i feel like wearing or foundation.

Lets have a peak inside:
So, its just my basic everyday items.

The best thing is...it folds away! So when i go on holiday, i can just fold this up and throw it in my bag.


it costs £1.99 from Dunelm.
Go get yourself one (;
