New Polish Storage!

Hi everyone,
I just arranged my new nail polish storage and I'm so proud of it! I got a Helmer!
Yes, the Helmer every big nail polish addict is using, the one from IKEA. It's so so cool for storage! Since my collection is, compared to a lot of the other fanatics out there, pretty small, I just need 1 Helmer and I'm only using 4 drawers. They're nowhere close to being full, but it's just so great anyway!
I haven't decided on how to organize the polishes, and for now they're just organized by color, and all in one crowd.
The first drawer contains yellows, golds, glitters, whites, etc. as well as peaches, oranges and reds. The second one holds pinks and purples, and the third one blues and greens. In the last drawer I keep browns, grays, blacks etc. as well as care stuff and all kinds of tools. They all also have the matching nail wheels.
#1: yellows, golds, glitters, whites; peaches, oranges, reds
#2: pinks; purples
#3: blues; greens
#4: browns, grays, blacks; nail care; tools
Do you have any kinds of ideas for organisation? Because I want it to be a little more structured.
Do you keep your polishes in Helmers?
See you all soon!
xoxo, Misch

Storage Tips

Hey there!
A couple of days ago I was visiting IKEA, and found some cool storage things, so I guess I was gonna show you these, as well as some other storage pieces.
At IKEA I the first thing I got was a grey plastic thing that's  normally used to put forks, knives and spoons into it in different sections. You can use it to put your nail polish into it, as I used to do, or powders, lipglosses, everything you'd like to. One of these things costs 50 cents, and they will fit most drawers, so they're great.



Then something I also got from IKEA is another piece like that, but it's clear plastic and it's higher. I will put some nail polishes into it, because that way you can organize your polishes by color or brand, because the thing is sectioned. It was 2,99 Euros.
Then for my brushes I'm also using something from IKEA, it's a vase, but I don't know it's name or how much it was, sorry, because it's a little old. I put a bow around it to make it cuter, but just do it the style you like :) I put some deco beeds and stones into it, you can get these at any deco store :) The beeds will hold all of the brushes, and it just looks cute in your room.
Then there are two little drawer thinhgs that I got from KIK. I normally don't buy stuff there, but these storage things were pretty cool :) They're available in different colors, and 2 sizes. They're plastic, too, and I like them to put my blushes and eyeshadows into them. I also use the little one to keep my lipsticks.


That's how I store my nail polishes right now:
What do you use to store your make-up? I'd like to know!
Until next time, xoxo, Misch
