One thing I did back when my stash was smaller was paint a false nail in the polish colour and sticky tape it to the top of the lid. You can see that in <a href="http://www.morenailpolish.com/2010/04/polish-stash.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a>.<br /><br />I try to store them in neat rows, that way I can fit more polishes in and I also use that non slip matting at the bottom of each draw so they don't slip around and fall over. I have my drawers labelled with all brands in that drawer too.<br /><br />My spreadsheet just has three columns, number, brand and polish and it's just one big long list. I use it to know exactly how many polishes I have, and to ensure I don't buy duplicate polishes.<br />Cheers Cathy<br />Kitties26https://www.blogger.com/profile/05604499396269571137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453798057807469353.post-25564653509257172902013-10-08T05:13:03.369+11:002013-10-08T05:13:03.369+11:00Hi kitties, just wondered how you locate your nail...Hi kitties, just wondered how you locate your nail polishes as you said you swatch them in colour groups but store them in your helmer by make (I have a helmer and have to pick each one up to see what colour it is? Do you store them in a particular way eg rows etc? Also what do your use the spreadsheet for? Can you post a sample piccie? Sorry to ask so many questions just setting about sorting mine out, they're currently in makes too like yours but not started swatching yet and wondered how they correspond to your drawers.

I've seen another girls painted underneath and they look nice too, but I think I prefer them painted on top because I can see the real finish of the polish.Kitties26https://www.blogger.com/profile/05604499396269571137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453798057807469353.post-46180647057413715082013-04-05T16:07:57.842+11:002013-04-05T16:07:57.842+11:00Do you paint the underside of the stick or on top?...Do you paint the underside of the stick or on top?

When you talk about the non slip draw liners, do you mean the squishy lattice looking things you buy in mats from the Reject shop and places like that?<br /><br />I have a similar set up for my supplies, but I got a great set of drawers from Office works just before Xmas. The only thing wrong with them is they are just a tiny bit too low for the taller bottles, so they are reserved for brushes, acrylics and other miscellaneous stuff! Polishes are in drawers like your clear plastic ones.<br /><br />P.S. I'm also loving the Layla's!Kristy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081069145253757327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453798057807469353.post-71770657520229812632012-05-08T20:33:00.070+10:002012-05-08T20:33:00.070+10:00Yes, if I use acetone on these they are screwed. ...Yes, if I use acetone on these they are screwed.

I find that they're not solvent resistant and polish warps mine a bit and acetone discolors them.
