Storage Solutions: nail polish

I had been looking for a way to store my nail polishes for a while, but could never settle on anything. I wanted to have something that would keep them on display, but still be functional at the same time which is kind of hard especially for a growing collection. 

Today while browsing the Brooklyn flea market I saw this vintage suitcase and fell in love. I had to have it, and thought it would be perfect to keep my nail polish collection which has been cluttering my dresser, in check. It's the perfect height to keep the nail polishes standing upright and is a good size too, as it is currently only a quarter full and I am aiming to keep my nail polish collection within its boundaries. It also has a little pocket that will be great for putting manicure tools. 

My favorite thing about this setup is that I can keep my nail polishes covered and out of sight easily if I want to. 
I will most likely be keeping it on the floor tucked away under my vanity area. I am so happy to have scored this. Not only is it the perfect storage solution, but it makes a great piece to decorate an apartment with. Love!

In other news, meet my new kitten, Minka!
She's impossible to photograph but so adorable. 

Hope you are all doing well =)

    Awesome, organized, cute way of storing nail polish! I will have to try something like that because my polishes are thrown into a random bag! :P

    I have literally spent the last two days stalking vintage suitcases online and really want to check out some flea markets. Kind of funny that you had the same idea. :)

    I like Minka, she is really cute!

    Vintage-style pieces=my WEAKNESS!
    I looove this idea, I don't think I've ever seen anyone do anything quite like this for their nailpolish.

    I just keep mine stuffed in a plastic box under my bed (naughty!)

    I'd love to see you do a little nail polish collection, we seem to have the same taste so maybe I'll find some new gems ;)!
