Fun and Easy DIY 2 Get Your Nail Polish Collection Organized this Spring

There is nothing worse than a bin or drawer full of all the nail polishes you have in your collection. And if you are like me, your collection is slightly out of control! Not only do you spend extra, unnecessary time trying to dig through all of your polishes to find the perfect shade to paint your nails, but forgotten favorites get buried at the bottom never to be seen again. Well today I have a fun and easy DIY (courtesy of the How2Girl herself, Courtney Sixx) and a little extra tip, Beauty Bandit style, to get your nail polish collection manageable and organized this spring.

I may be the Beauty Bandit but I love getting my hands dirty working on fun DIY crafts with my girlfriends! So if you are like me than start by heading over to How2Girl.com and check out this post. No, we aren't making serving trays. Pay special attention to the box. This is the first step in the right direction to an organized way to store your polishes. Of course you can decorate your box any way you want but I thought Courtney's idea was a super fun way to keep things clean but also add a little something to your bathroom decor.

Once your box is complet, it's time to get to work on those polishes. This is the perfect time to try and revive any forgotten polishes with my nail polish remover trick here, but if your old polishes are beyond saving, throw them away! Now it's time to start painting the tops of your polishes. Yes, you heard me right! Grab a paper plate and, one at a time, unscrew the top of the polish and place on the plate. Dip a Q-tip into the bottle and dot the top of the nail polish that is laying on the paper plate. Repeat this step with all the polishes and a clean Q-tip. Stand them up in your newly decorated DIY box and you will see that you will be able to easily tell exactly what color each polish is! This will keep them organized in the box and save you a ton of time the next time you want to paint your nails!
