    For storage I have a nearly full Helmer from IKEA, it is the perfect size for all of my polishes except two peripera ones I had from Korea, as the cat on top makes them really huge.

    I would like two Helmers. So I can have a drawer for each colour group, but I think my husband would string me up.


    I also have an Helmer; and on top of that sits a box which contains my jar of cotton wool, removers, nail wheels and assorted other stuff that don't fit in the Helmer.
    Two drawers have the Antonius inserts; so its easier to keep my nail art bits and tool secure.
    I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep someone else warm, someone cooler

    I have mine in one of these

    The top 3 drawers are full of polishes (it's the perfect height for them to stand up in), the 4th is full of 'bits' cotton wool, polish remover, nail file, etc. Then at the moment the bottom 2 are body creams and stuff. BUT... I also have a basket full of polishes that I need to find space for so it's time for me to rethink my polish storage again... :o

    Ohh I really like that. I already have two of the bottom half drawer sets though from uni - I think my parents would object to me buying another just for the bit on the top :o

    HanSpan, do you mean these? http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=00744157 Again, I have one or two of them knocking around but unfortunately nowhere to put them safely atm :( I suppose putting my varnishes in those and shoving them under my bed would be a darn sight safer than throwing all 60 bottles into a travel make up bag though :eek:

    Haven't caught up with the thread for a while so don't know if it's been posted or not but QVC now have the OPI Minnie Mouse collection and it's a brilliant kit. Got myself one last night. Here's the link:

    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    The ones I have were called A4 document storage so I'm not sure if they are exactly the same size but pretty much that yes. Under the bed in those sounds great - I would but my bed has a divan so no 'under'!

    I am a sad c*w and have put a blob of nailvarnish on the cap of each bottle so I can see what they are without taking them all out - where the lid is black and the polish won't show I've taken a hole punch and created a miniature white round label then put polish on that.

    Yellow, unfortunately. But we'll make of it what we can.
  • Yellow, unfortunately. But we'll make of it what we can.

    I'm trying to think positive. Its a change for the normal colours I go for and might encourage the sun to come out!!!

    (However I'm secretly trying to think of ways that the Yellow won't show so much)....
