Hey! This afternoon I went to Micahel's and came home with two Melmer's. I was skeptical that they would have them, but they did and with 50% off! My husband, being the enabler that he is, (God I love him) helped me build them. This post has a lot of photo's and not very good ones at that. I do apologize but I was in a time crunch.

Well folks, that was my morning/early afternoon. I worked tonight and am exhausted, but very pleased. I like how everything to do with my nails are either on my polish shelf or in/on my Melmer's. It's nice to have it all together. One day I will have my own room for my polish and cosmetics (which is a whole other obsession, haha) but for now this definitely satisfies my need for an organized space.
How do you store your polishes? I would love to see your set up! Comment below and let me know or do your own post.
Thanks for reading.
Melmers! I went to Ikea and scoped out helmers, but I'm thinking melmers might be a better value.
ReplyDeleteoooooooh man i like your shelf!!!
ReplyDeleteI really really need better storage. I have those roll-away plastic drawers. I hate them
ReplyDeleteYour nail collection looks awesome. I love your method of organization. I can't wait until my collection grows to this amount!
ReplyDeleteare they 50% off for a certain amount of time? i need to invest!
ReplyDeleteYour collection and melmers look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat looks AMAZING! I'm jealous..lol! I know my polish collection is no where near that, but it's getting there! I use an old glass top computer desk for my work area.
ReplyDeleteI had a question about your black shelf. i have one i wanted to use but it doesnt have the level lifts to display all of the polish. how did you get your shelf like that or was it something you bought like that?
ReplyDeletewow, so organised and pretty, lol i'm working on a full room for all my polishes and art and stuff hehe ; )
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use for your polish shelf? Is that homemade or something that can be bought? I'd rather see mine then have them in a drawer.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies!
ReplyDeleteSummer - I can't remember how long the sale is for, there were about 5 left at my Michael's.
LizIsPink & Fingers - My shelf is actually a bookshelf that I purchased from Wal-Mart for $24. I bought stationary organizers from the Dollarstore and flipped them over to create the shelves. I added poster board and grip mat and there you have your risers. I will do a post on how to create it this week!
I'm still trying not to need a Melmer.. but i keep getting more convinced every time i see one!
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award here http://love4lacquer.blogspot.com/2011/06/liebster-blog-award.html
Congrats!
I love your polish shelf--so colorful and pretty!
ReplyDeleteI store my stash in Helmers. Lots of Helmers. I've been thinking about getting a Melmer for comparison purposes but don't know where I'll put it.
love your blog!, wow you have so many polishes x
ReplyDeleteThe new storage is beautiful ! (:
ReplyDeleteI love your storage! I'm planning to display mine on an old bookshelf.
ReplyDeletewooooooooooooooow :O what a nailpolish collection!
ReplyDeletewow i love your converted bookshelf! I have been looking for something to store my polishes on, at the moment they are on a shelf hidden away in my hallway cupboard. :/
