    Nail Varnish Storage
    I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on how to store my nail varnish - eg box, stand, something like that. Currently they are just kept in a plastic ice cream tub and I was thinking I should try and upgrade a little!

    I've got one of those glass bowls that you can get for like £3-5 from most home stores. Not totally ideal but it works a treat, you can get endless amount of nail vanish bottles inside and it doesn't look to bad on your shelf.
    -Hope this helps.

    Ooh, I hadn't thought about a bowl as an option! Yeh, this tub doesn't really look good on my shelf.

    As it is clear so all those different colours it looks quite pretty on your shelf or wherever you choose to store it. It’s not that expensive either, which is always a good thing.

    Personally looking at guru videos on youtube I think this video demonstrates the nicest e.g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqqJWKgLD-o (go to 0.26) like shelfs on the wall :P (can buy them off ebay or out office shops)

    I've got mine in an old ice cream tub that I painted gold and covered in glitter haha. Apparently its best to keep them in the fridge though.

    I've heard that, but since I started Uni 4 years ago mine haven't been in the fridge and seem fine.

    Mine are all lined up in the egg department of the fridge door.

    Mum never put eggs in there, so I decided to get some use of it

    Otherwise, just put them in a big, pretty bowl?

    I have mine in a pink box but its very full now so may have to find something a bit bigger! I kind of want a nail varnish shelf organised by brand and colour... too far?

    Not too far at all. I was in a shop today looking at the stands they have for their nail varnishes...should have just pinched one!

    I store mine either on the shelf in the bathroom , on the dressing table, and in an old giftbox. I want to upgrade too, but I've read somewhere that storing them on the side makes them separate, so I don't know where to store so many bottles vertically. Plus, they have to be out f my mothers sight

    I used to demonstrate nail pens so it's awkward finding somewhere to keep my bottles and my pens. The pens have just been cast into an old carrier bag which isn't cool. I love them though, they were so easy to sell!

    I have mine in several large old fashioned jam jars, the ones with the flip top lids - mine were my Grandma's but you can buy them in IKEA:

    I asked for one for my birthday as I had too many, I think it's just from a beauty suppliers online, although mine is nearly full now haha.
