Girls are such girls!
First we create a problem for ourselves, and then we try to solve it))
For example, nail polishes - almost all of us love bright manicure. We paint our nails either to suit our mood or to match the color of our new handbag, and ask the master to paint deer on New Year and flowers as soon as it smells like spring. And even if you don’t have time to go to nail salons, and you’re too lazy to paint your nails at home, each of us has several bottles with our very favorite colors.
And the VseNaMestakh team became curious again - how the storage of varnishes and manicure accessories is organized for the most ordinary girls.
There will be many options further!
Storage in baskets, boxes and other “improvised means”
I'll start with myself:
A few years ago, I ended my “quiet obsession” with varnishes, when I was interested in painting my nails every 2-3 days in different colors, drawing patterns and matching the design to the color of wardrobe items. Now almost all the colors have somehow disappeared from my reserves (and there were purple and orange, even blue and green shades!), now I, as an inveterate conservative, cut my nails short and paint them exclusively red!
And I keep a small collection of red shades in a small basket in my dressing table drawer. There are also several bottles with base and clear coat, nail polish remover and cotton pads, and a separate basket with various files and other manicure items.
Based on the results of a survey of my girlfriends, acquaintances and colleagues, it turned out that many store their “paint and paint” stocks in this way.
Storing polishes in baskets and boxes is very convenient - the bottles don’t roll around all over the box, a feeling of order is created, and it’s convenient to take the box out into the light and choose the desired color.
Here's what the girls themselves say about this storage system:
Alyona: “I have a sad story with varnishes - I don’t like them, and they don’t like me. But I still have a few bottles, I keep them in a tin tea box in the kitchen table drawer. There is also a manicure set. It’s convenient for me to do a manicure in the kitchen because it’s light and there’s water.”
Tanya: “I keep it on a shelf in the closet in a box from some kind of souvenir. True, all the varnishes no longer fit. On the one hand, it’s convenient - everything is in one place, on the other hand, there’s the problem of finding the right color and an ever-increasing number of bottles. I want to find a more rational storage solution!”
Oksana: “The green box contains the polishes that I actively use now. In the distant are those that are awaiting their fate: either they will be given as a gift, or their season will come. There are also all sorts of manicure items and remover. My life hack is tiny ceramic mugs for liqueur - I pour nail polish remover or nail polish thinner into them. And when the nails are already painted, I correct crooked lines or smudged polish. I dip a flat brush and straighten it.”
Anya: “My varnishes are stored in a wooden box made from some kind of cognac bottle. The box is getting a little small, but I don’t want to change it – now it’s so neat and beautiful!”
What other storage options are there?
Homemade organizers.
If you are a creative person and like to make all sorts of interesting things for decoration and interior, then shopping baskets and boxes will probably seem too boring and ordinary. After all, you can make a varnish storage system with your own hands!
The simplest thing is to cover a cardboard box of suitable size with wrapping paper and make dividers in it. You can find it on the Internet interesting ideas such options and even detailed master classes with complex multi-level structures.
Natalia: “This, of course, is not the limit of perfection, but now my entire collection of varnishes is stored compactly and all colors are visible. I saw the idea on the Internet and modernized it for myself - it’s a box from scales, which I supplemented with thick cardboard shelves and covered with oilcloth.”
Olya: “I have crazy hands! Once I bought assorted cookies in a box with compartments and the idea came by itself! I didn’t change anything inside, but I lined the sides with satin and made all sorts of decorations - I store in this organizer not only polishes, but also cosmetics, everything is in one place and it looks beautiful on the chest of drawers!”
A worthy alternative to handmade boxes - ready-made universal organizers with dividers.
They can be plastic, wooden or fabric. Such organizers can be found in household and construction departments, ordered in the VseNaMestah online store, or wait for a package from China.
And for the most picky manicure lovers there are special professional cases and storage boxes: huge suitcases, plastic boxes with cells or small acrylic stands and special shelves - all this can be found in specialized manicure stores. The sad downside of this storage system is that these items are quite expensive.
Inna: “At first it was a hobby, and now I earn extra income by doing manicures at home. Here I have the only place where there is order and harmony. All bottles are stored in a professional acrylic stand on a special bedside table on wheels. All the liquids and tools for manicure are right there.”
Galya: “I ordered a shelf for varnishes to match the size of my cabinet from a company that makes all sorts of things and display cases from plexiglass.”
Let's take a look into the bins of the lacquer maniacs?
What if there are not 2-3 bottles of varnish, but 10? What if 50? Or even a couple hundred? Do you think that so many polishes can only be found in a manicure salon? It turns out that there are real polish maniacs (the girls call themselves that) - they collect entire collections of polishes from their favorite brands, chase limited editions, mix colors from different jars, share their impressions and exchange their treasures.
Among my friends there are girls like this and, surprisingly, not one of them has a convenient storage system - nail polishes gather dust on open shelves, occupy entire dresser drawers, stand in assorted boxes in the closet...
Lucy: “Laaakiiii! They stand on two open shelves and regularly fall from there, gather dust, you can’t see all the colors at once... Of course, there is some kind of organization system here - all the varnishes are arranged by brand (I remember what color I have from which brand, I’ve never duplicated did not buy). Ideally, I want narrow shelves so that the varnishes stand in one row, and then I will measure them by meters!”
Tatiana: “This is chaos! My polishes are everywhere - in the dresser, on the dressing table, in the bathroom cabinet, stuffed into all cosmetic bags and bags. I really don’t remember where I have which polish, and I spend a lot of time looking for it! It’s infuriating!”
Olya: “I’ve dedicated a whole drawer to polishes in the chest of drawers, there are additional boxes in the drawer, I’m sorting, arranging, and still I can’t see where anything is!”
What options?
But the girls were happy to share their ideas and Internet finds that they would someday implement.
Lucy: “This is my ideal! Beautiful, compact, everything is in sight! Whenever you get around to making something like this... I saw it on Aliexpress, but I think you can build it yourself. I'm waiting for inspiration! "
Tanya: “I dreamed of a special case, but it costs so much! On one forum I saw an amazing idea: a girl uses a suitcase to store miniatures for board games. It is not just big, but huge - in a standing position it reaches to the knees, and at the same time it is made of light plastic, there is even a shoulder strap, the latches are reliable. But the most important thing is what is inside! There are six foam inserts with forty cells each! Foam rubber stretches, holds bubbles well, and the partitions can be cut out and rearranged into Right place. All you have to do is tune in and place your order!”
Olya: “I found a simple master class online - you need to buy small magnets (I saw “everything for the holidays” in stores) and glue them with superglue to each bottle of varnish. And attach the bubbles to an iron sheet, or even to the refrigerator!”
Oksana: “I can’t sleep peacefully now - I want to do the same: I saw a picture where the varnishes are stored in a thick office folder with ties - it looks like such a strong box-box. Tall bottles probably won’t fit there, but most of my polishes will like this move.”
The girls gave me more ideas:
- In large cosmetics stores or paper catalogs, special products sometimes appear on sale. cosmetic bags for storing polishes, they can be compact (for several pieces) or quite spacious (a hundred bottles can easily fit in).
Svetlana: “I noticed an unusual cosmetic bag in the catalog a long time ago. They'll come up with something like this - a handbag with a bunch of compartments! I bought it and ended up using it as an organizer for my nail polishes - a lot fits into it, and when folded the cosmetic bag takes up little space. An undeniable advantage of such storage is that the varnishes do not delaminate, because when I open/close a cosmetic bag, the bottles constantly change their position - sometimes they lie on their sides, sometimes upside down. It’s better than them just sitting motionless on a shelf.”
Olya: “A mini cosmetic bag for several bottles - and even in another country I can paint my nails to suit my mood!”
- Famous jewelry organizer in the shape of a dress with many pockets. Lacquer lovers have adapted it to their needs, the main thing is to make sure that it is securely attached to the bar!
A collection of nail polishes can become an interior decor item.
- From the remains of moldings or ceiling plinths you will get small narrow shelves that can be painted in the desired color scheme.
- These same shelves (or narrow boards) can be placed in a beautiful baguette - why not a picture?
- Nice touches include multi-tiered cupcake stands. Who said they're only good for treats?
That's how many different ideas and options we could find! What storage systems have taken root with you? Or which options did you like best?
Master classes on making organizers for cosmetics from scrap materials - cardboard, plastic bottles, foam plastic, wood. Many will say that it would be easier to buy a suitable organizer for storing cosmetics and not waste your time on it. But firstly, I want to save money, and secondly, it’s interesting to come up with an exclusive organizer with my own hands for cosmetics and varnishes.
We offer a master class on making a do-it-yourself organizer for cosmetics, manicure accessories, makeup brushes, lipsticks, and many necessary women's little things.
In any home there is always something to use to make a compact set for storing cosmetics. The simplest organizers are made from ordinary plastic bottles.
From plastic bottles. The edges of the plastic are cut with a knife and trimmed with scissors. Then we must “smooth” the sharp edge of the bottle with an iron. We do it this way: place a sheet of white paper on the hot surface of the iron sole, and lightly press the plastic against this paper.
There is no need to hold it for a long time, as the plastic may become deformed. If you don't put paper on it, there will be a trace of plastic on the sole of the iron. You can decorate such a storage container with a ribbon or colored tape. To make it heavier and more stable, you can add coffee beans or pebbles to the bottom.
To make an organizer for brushes, eyeliners and lips, we look for glass or just tin cans. Well, further decoration is up to you: you can paint it with spray paint or simple acrylic paint, you can decorate it with lace or braid.
Look at what seem to be ordinary glass jars, but if you get creative or glue figures to the lids (for example, small plastic toys from kinder surprises) - what interesting things come out:
A simple and at the same time original do-it-yourself organizer made from bamboo napkin. We cut out 2 identical circles and one strip from corrugated cardboard, equal to the diameter of the resulting tube. All that remains is to glue the bottom and walls, glue the part, pierce the lid and thread the bead on the ribbon.
For the next job you will need a bamboo napkin, a wide elastic band and a glue gun. Glue is needed to secure the elastic at the beginning and end. Glue can be replaced with a needle and thread. You can easily make this organizer from a bamboo napkin for brushes with your own hands:
Made of wood. This option is suitable for those who know how to work with wood. In order to make a wooden organizer you need, at a minimum, carpentry tools and skills.
Watch a mini master class on making a small wooden organizer. We make the product wider, since the product must be stable.
You can make your own nail polish organizer from a material such as polystyrene foam (also called polystyrene foam). This lightweight white material is usually used to protect household appliances from shock during transportation.
Foam sheets are sold in repair and construction stores at a low price. If you have a lot of gel polishes, you simply need such an organizer.
Video shows how to make a nail polish organizer from foam:
From cardboard. This is the most popular material from which you can quickly and tastefully make a small box for storing cosmetics. What may be useful to you for such work: any colored paper, self-adhesive PVC film (sold in all hardware hypermarkets), glossy paper gift bags(instead of colored paper), fabric, acrylic paint.
Here is the simplest organizer made from two cardboard boxes and a piece of wallpaper left over from the renovation:
As you can see, it’s nothing complicated: cut off the top of the boxes, glue them together, and, using PVA glue, stick some of the wallpaper or colored paper. 1 hour of work - and the shelves for storing cosmetics are ready.
Cardboard organizer in the shape of a Cat - master class
This simple and convenient organizer can be made from an ordinary cardboard box and a piece of wallpaper or colored paper. We use it for cosmetics, gel polishes, cosmetic pencils, brushes, hair clips, and so on. You can make this storage box of any size by reducing or enlarging the template.
To make it you will need:
- Cardboard box made of thick cardboard.
- Colored paper for interior decoration.
- PVA glue, Moment Crystal glue.
- Stationery knife.
- A piece of wallpaper.
- White paper.
- Ruler, pencil.
- Brush or sponge.
Cut the box into pieces. Using a ruler and pencil, we draw and then cut out all the details of the product.
We cover one (inner) side of all parts with colored paper (red). We glue the parts of the partitions on both sides.
Apply Moment Crystal glue to the edges of the case. Next, we cut out strips of white paper, spread them with PVA glue, and thus secure the sides of the frame. Next we will need to make the bottom. To do this, place the finished frame on a piece of cardboard and trace it with a pencil.
Cut out the bottom of the product to store cosmetics. Cover the bottom with paper. Glue the bottom to the frame with strips of paper. You can make absolutely any sections inside.
We cover the outer part of the organizer with a piece of wallpaper or colored paper. We glue the partitions inside. Cut out eyes and ears from colored paper and glue them with PVA glue. That's all. The work is done.
Just like jewelry or underwear, there is never too much cosmetics in a woman’s arsenal. Powder compacts, glosses, lipsticks, eye shadows, mascara, blush - this goodness is becoming more and more every day in a fashionista’s cosmetic bag. How to properly organize cosmetics storage at home?
Today we decided to answer this burning question for many and show 35 unique examples of how this can be done. The owners of these homemade organizers can't take away their imagination and ingenuity!
1. Correct sorting
First of all, when putting things in order in your cosmetic bag, you need to sort cosmetics by type - lipstick, eye shadow, blush, mascara, brushes. This will help save time searching for the desired vial in the future.
2. Jars
Jars are great for storing all kinds of brushes and pencils for eyes and lips. These can be special decorative containers or simply tin or glass containers that you liked for their interesting design. If desired, they can be decorated with lace, repainted in your favorite color or decorated with decoupage.
To make it more convenient to store and use brushes, just pour coffee beans or decorative stones into the container. Then, simply insert cosmetic tools - the original organizer for storing cosmetics is ready!
3. Tools at hand
A transparent storage organizer may also come in handy. office paper. Its multi-storey compact design allows you to fit a sufficient amount of cosmetics. At the same time, it is always convenient to get it at the right time.
Moldings and baseboards left over after another renovation can also serve well. You just need to install them on the wall. This is a great place to store nail polishes and oversized lipsticks or eye shadows.
Even a vintage suitcase that was inherited from your grandmother can become an excellent storage for cosmetics.
Dividers for storing cutlery and decorative buckets are also useful as organizers.
4. Storing like an art
Why not make a cosmetics holder part of your interior? For example, take a beautiful baguette, equip it with several narrow shelves and place bottles of nail polish on it. If desired, it can always be repainted in any color so that it matches other interior items.
An interesting idea is to decorate one of the compartments of a bookcase with varnishes, build small display cases from ordinary cardboard boxes, or store varnishes in a candy jar.
Textile or magnetic boards look great in the interior, on which you can attach cosmetics using Velcro or magnets pre-glued to the bubbles.
5. Additional helpers
Fortunately, today cosmetics manufacturers make sure that their products are convenient to store. Many brands produce special storage organizers cosmetics.
These are vertical holders with convenient dividers, stands with space for a tablet and phone, hanging polyethylene organizers with convenient sorting and inscriptions. With such diversity, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, racking your brain on how to organize the storage of cosmetics.

Beauty Salons
Professional manicurists working in hairdressers and beauty salons own a large assortment of nail polishes. This is necessary to please any, the most demanding taste of clients and help them create a complete, harmonious image.
The entire collection of nail polishes should be placed in such a way that visitors can appreciate the variety of colors.
How to store polishes in beauty salons? For this purpose, ready-made stands, stands and displays are used, which are produced both according to standard sizes and to customer sizes.
Types of stands:
1. Wall shelf for open type varnishes
Hanging shelves are mounted on the wall directly next to the working manicurist or, if desired, can be installed on his desk.
2. Shelf-tray made of transparent plexiglass
The trays are made of transparent plexiglass with the ability to be mounted on a wall and are equipped with a rear wall with a side at the front.

Displays with a locking lid are needed for retail outlets or for storing expensive varnishes in salons.

Stands (shelves) for straight varnishes with several tiers are designed to organize a manicurist’s workplace. Manufacturers offer options equipped with a wide bottom shelf for bottles of creams and liquids. The lower tier is required to limit the space on the table.
Some manufacturing companies produce small seasonal collections of varnishes (4-12 pieces), complete with a stand for them, equipped with an insert with a company logo. It is better to store such collections separately so that visitors can see all the fashionable new items.
For manicurists who work on the road, it will be convenient to have a special portable box or suitcase that will accommodate not only varnishes, but also tongs, files and other necessary accessories.

- After use, wipe the neck of the bottle with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
- Before capping the bottle, breathe into it - carbon dioxide will displace oxygen, which destroys varnish
- Place a small bead or metal ball into the varnish
- Roll the bottle between your palms before use.
If you figure out how to store nail polishes correctly and make a suitable stand, you will enjoy them much longer.
