All Together Now

 My goal was to get my fingernail polishes organized.  They were just dumped in a basket.  The basket is larger than I thought and a lot stronger than I imagined.  I had used this basket for over 20 years.  It worked.  It served its purpose so I kept it filled with polishes and some good memories as well.  That whole process amazed me.  
 
Now I want to see the polishes that I have — color by color.  Many of the options I came across were less than satisfactory for me.  But while out and about I found 2 containers that will work. 

Here is the before in my trusted, tried and true basket

Who knows what’s in here?

Now, let’s see my organizing tools come into play.  I got 2 different ones because the plastic will eventually be a container in my craft room.  The bamboo will be re-purposed for decorative purposes.

Perfect see-through tray!

More decorative and to be reused

 Now I put all the polishes by color into the clear tray.  It really was not spacious enough but my organizing was starting to look pretty darn good!
 

Geez, I need a little more room . . .

I had never counted before.  Now I know that I have 96 bottles of polish.
 

Finished! I was soooo excited. I could not decide which color to use, so here it is. Polish Of The Week (POTW) -- Color Unknown by Sally Girl from Sally's

 All together — clears, base and top coats, blues, corals, yellows and golds, purples, sparkles, neutrals, and reds!

      I’m either going to use it or give it away at the end of the year. Wish me luck either way.

    Great job on the organizing! I believe we have a sickness….

      Thanks I like the way it turned out. I miss the/my/our basket *Sniffle, sniffle* The sickness is obviously hereditary. Get some shots for LG before it’s too late. :-)

      I can almost remember the occasion for each purchase, where I bought, which season of the year, etc. I have fond memories with most of my polishes. I will be sharing polishes at the end of this year just so I can reduce my stash.
