  • Clear acrylic book shelves to the back of linen closet door with Command self adhesive strips to store polishes out of the way without using shelf space

  • I wish there would have been an improvement on nail polish bottle design. I understand why every single bottle comes with the included brush caps, but when you are using dedicated nail art brushes you don’t need the waste of space if you could just replace the brush caps with low profile caps which would take up nearly half the amount of space. I purchased a ton of glass 5ml bottles with aluminum air tight sealing caps for making the quantity of polishes to store in my portable organizers over 5 different polishes per division vs. One bottles for each division. This makes the total weight a fraction of what it is when nail polish bottles are made with overly thick weighted glass to make it seem like they have more product in the bottles than they actually do.
