Updated Nail Varnish Storage

Last year I did a little post on my nail varnish storage over here, but today I'm back again with something much prettier but less functional. I have seen many a blogger do a show and tell with something similar looking. Lovely big jars filled with pretty polishes to make your heart skip a beat. (I'm dramatic about my nail varnish, shoot me!)  Isn't it just so pretty!? It makes a gorgeous ornament while showing off some colours in your collection.

I bought this jar in Dunnes for about €3.50 a few weeks ago in the home ware section. Its really big, holding around 15 polishes and the lid is easy to get off but closes tightly too. Added bonus of a cute red and white checkered ribbon to finish the look off.

It is kind of a pain to have to dump out all your polishes to find the one your looking for but I get to have a good look at everything I have just in case I forget about something and it gives the polishes a bit of a shake and move about so they aren't just left sitting to settle all the gooy good things to the bottom of the jars. I keep all my 'posh' and most loved ones in this jar, don't think I don't have another box filled up in the press with lots more!

What do you think of this way of storing your nail varnishes? How do you keep yours?

Nail Varnish Storage

This is just a quick post inspired by a lot of beauty storage boxes I have been seeing all over the place. I've been keeping my polishes in a big make up bag for years and I thought it was time for a change. I wanted something that was going to display what I had and give me easy access to them as well. I don't have a lot of flat space in my room for displaying everything pretty I own, but I didn't want my pretties hidden away in my storage drawers (Argos) any longer. I plan on investing in a new book case soon, fingers crossed. 

Que drunk night at a friends house when I spotted a gorgeous pink and black box. There was little biscuits inside and I asked once they were eaten if I could have the box. I woke up the next morning the proud owner of said box that was stuffed into my handbag, biscuits and all! Reusing old packaging is not only environmentally friendly but it looks great and is unique too. So here is some of my favourite and most used nail varnishes that are laid out, easy to see and look lovely too. Proud girly right here. 

This isn't the only box I have reused. Lush boxes are stacked in my wardrobe along with other gift boxes I have gotten over the years. Have you reused anything like this?
