You can organize nail polish with a shoebox display.

If you have a growing collection of nail polish bottles, you may need a way to properly organize the colors. Consider making your own nail polish display using an old shoebox and a few other materials.

Designing your own display gives you the option to customize the display case, creating a look that is completely unique to you.
