It will crumble. In addition, the fickle female fantasy requires a manicurist, hairdresser, makeup artist, lash maker or cosmetologist to bring with them a fairly large number of necessary products and accessories. This means that on the spot, in order to save the client’s precious time, you need to clearly know what is in your purse or toiletry case. That is why many well-known brands in the beauty industry have supplemented their accessories with a variety of cases, bags and travel bags. Let's look at the types and purposes of various beauty cases and important parameters that you need to pay attention to when buying the suitcase you need.
Case for a manicurist: why is it needed?
A master who makes his clients beautiful must be a professional in everything. Appreciate comfort and convenience both in your work and when surrounding girls who want to have a stylish manicure, beautiful skin or a spectacular hairstyle. That is why many specialists on duty, working with a large number of auxiliary drugs and accessories, acquire convenient organizers. Due to the characteristics of a particular profession, either a bag for a makeup artist or a stylist, as a rule, differs from a suitcase for a manicurist. Moreover, as soon as a master has his own regular clients, whom he values very much, the pros often acquire separate ones for each specific customer. And, of course, it is more convenient to store and transport them in a separate bag. Another significant advantage of this approach to organization and storage is the convenience of conducting an audit before purchasing consumables that have run out or are running out.
However, the benefits of owning a professional beauty case are not limited to this. When purchasing the necessary suitcase organizer for themselves, experts in the beauty industry put forward the following arguments in favor of a stylish assistant:
- high-quality, practical and convenient emphasizes the status of the master as a professional.
- a bag or case where everything is in its place and always available will illustrate you as a person who values organization and order.
- A travel bag-suitcase is, first of all, convenient and practical.
As the experience of long-time practicing craftsmen shows, storing all your wealth in suitcases is more efficient and expedient also because dust and dirt do not accumulate inside when closed. And once you have laid out everything you need in an order that is convenient for you, you can rest assured that upon arrival at your client’s home or office, small decor will be just as neat and aesthetically pleasing as in your home or office.
How to choose the right model
To begin with, decide on the shape of the bag that is convenient for you. It can be: , . Depending on how you plan to get to your client, you should choose beauty bags that suit the weather conditions. Some of your materials may not tolerate cold well, while others may not tolerate elevated temperatures. Typically, materials such as:, , are used for beauty cases. Or combined for a more presentable appearance.
How to choose the right suitcase for a nail artist?
As a rule, manicurists select a case for their model (or). Therefore, the suitcase must have at least 5 compartments: for equipment and small ones for various decorative materials, coatings (,) and.
Based on volume, suitcases for the master are:
- . Usually made of metal (expensive models) or plastic (economy segment), combined cases made of aluminum with leatherette inserts are also often found. All models have soft fabric interior upholstery and are often equipped with,.
aluminum: characterized by a long service life and the ability to maintain an aesthetic appearance for a long time. Many manufacturers create cases with a streamlined shape, with rounded corners, to eliminate the risk of accidental injury. One of the disadvantages of such assistants is that they are quite heavy;
fabric: will not cause you any inconvenience when traveling, for example, on public transport. They are compact and lightweight, with optimal capacity. Their main disadvantage is the need to be equipped with additional plastic organizers due to the lack of the required number of trays and compartments;
leather (imitation reptile skin): combine the advantages of metal and fabric models. They are often chosen if they prefer their work bag to look as feminine and stylish as a regular ladies bag. A nice bonus of such cases is that inside they are arranged as conveniently as expensive professional suitcases.
Based on the materials used, the most practical models are:
The right model, taking into account all your wishes and needs, will allow you to work comfortably and calmly, without fear for the safety of the tools and equipment used in your work. A modern, ergonomic, practical and stylish suitcase will make as good an impression on your clients as your skills and professionalism. Do not deny yourself this reliable and faithful assistant, remembering the importance of the first impression you make on the client. No one has yet canceled the rule “Meet by clothes, escorted by nails.” The case looks noble and rich, emphasizing your image of a high-level professional.
Even if a girl prefers to take care of her hands in a salon, she will have several bottles of nail polish in her cosmetic bag. Having a supply of bottles at home means having the opportunity to repaint your nails to suit your mood or update your manicure before an important event, when you cannot get to a professional. Nowadays, many have mastered salon coating techniques and successfully use them at home, so the number of bubbles can be more than a dozen. Where to store an arsenal of varnishes and hand care products? On a convenient shelf! We’ll talk about what they are like and how to make them with your own hands in this article.
Ready-made stands
Cosmetic holdings specializing in the production of accessories and materials for manicure offer ready-made stands to purchase from them. They are also called "organizers". They are made from a variety of materials and differ in functionality, appearance, and capacity. Such shelves are suitable for those who do manicures not only for themselves, but also earn extra money by beautifying the hands of clients. Stands allow you to demonstrate the richness of the varnish palette. For girls who keep countless bottles of nail polish at home “for the soul”, organizers save space in the room and ensure order.
Material of manufacture
Metal
Strong, durable, quite expensive design for storing bottles. The choice of design and color is wide. There are models in the form of hearts, circles, tree branches, standard square and rectangular. The main advantages of metal stands:
- withstand significant weight;
- do not melt;
- not capricious in care (just wipe the dust);
- do not break when hit or dropped.
Plexiglas
Durable material used for making display cases and trade stands. Shelves made of it weigh little, so they are easy to install. Plexiglas is not afraid of high humidity, does not fade, and can withstand the “attack” of chemicals. If you accidentally spill varnish on the shelf, you can easily wipe the stain off. Unfortunately, the material quickly loses its original appearance if handled carelessly. Scratches and abrasions appear.
Tree
A common eco-friendly, practical option. If the slats are securely fastened, the stand can withstand the significant weight load created by the bottles. The advantage of a wooden shelf is that you can repaint it yourself if you want to update the interior. However, if you spill any liquid on the wood, it will leave a noticeable stain.
Plastic
Budget designs that differ in quality of material, color, shape. Have you decided to purchase a shelf made of this material? Make sure that it does not bend under mechanical stress, and the thickness of the plates is at least 0.5 cm. If you use heavy bottles, the stand may not support their weight, collapse or bend unsightly.
Forms of designs
Manufacturers mass produce ready-made organizers in the following configurations:
- hanging shelf;
- multi-tiered structure (in the form of a slide);
- single-level stand;
- vertical showcase.
Each type has its own advantages. Choose the one that suits your purposes and the number of bottles. You shouldn’t buy a too spacious, multi-tiered stand if you have 10 bubbles in your arsenal.
By the way, in private workshops for the production of interior items you can order a shelf of any configuration. In the forges they will forge an interesting metal organizer and professionally paint it in the desired color. In small factories specializing in furniture manufacturing, they will make a unique wooden structure for you.
What to look for when purchasing?
If you decide to buy a stand for manicure products, pay attention to some nuances.
- Capacity. Buy an organizer that will fit all your products plus 5 more bottles. There is no point in buying a structure that is too large for home use. It will take up a lot of space and will be expensive.
- It is better if the shelf has sides. You can place bubbles on them at an angle. This allows the polish to flow into one corner and allows you to use every last drop of coverage. In addition, the sides protect the bottles from falling on the floor.
- Additional holders. Mounts for brushes, files, scissors, and stands for special care products are useful for those who like to keep manicure accessories organized in one place. It's comfortable!
How to make a stand yourself?
If you are not satisfied with any of the options listed above, make your own nail polish shelf. We'll share with you simple instructions on how to make a organizer for about 25 medium sized bottles. You will need the following available materials:
- thick cardboard;
- wrapping paper;
- fabric tape 1.5 cm wide;
- PVA glue.
Cut strips from cardboard:
- 8 pcs. size 21*4 cm (these will be the “steps” of the slide);
- 1 PC. size 21*6 cm (auxiliary part, will be needed at the end of the work);
- 2 pcs. diagonal 15 cm, width 17 cm, height of the right side 14.5 cm, left - 5 cm (side walls);
Cover the parts with wrapping paper. It is better to take a matte, dense one. Glossy, shiny does not work well with glue.
Connect every 2 strips measuring 21*4 cm together at an angle of 90 degrees. You will get 4 “corners”.
Apply an additional strip of glue to the internal joint for security. To prevent the seam from being visible, disguise it with a satin ribbon.
It's time to connect the steps together. Glue all 4 corners together to make a ladder.
Connect the resulting structure with the side parts. There will be “emptiness” at the bottom. Glue it with the remaining piece measuring 21*6 cm.
Your bottle storage stand is ready!
A shelf for varnishes is a convenient, practical option for those who like order in their home and workplace. Choose stable, comfortable stands that match your interior and the number of bottles. Or make a shelf yourself. This way you will save money and create a unique design that reflects your taste.
Master classes on making organizers for cosmetics from scrap materials - cardboard, plastic bottles, polystyrene foam, wood. Many will say that it would be easier to buy a suitable organizer for storing cosmetics and not waste your time on it. But firstly, I want to save money, and secondly, it’s interesting to come up with an exclusive organizer with my own hands for cosmetics and varnishes.
We offer a master class on making a do-it-yourself organizer for cosmetics, manicure accessories, makeup brushes, lipsticks, and many necessary women's little things.
In any home there is always something to use to make a compact set for storing cosmetics. The simplest organizers are made from ordinary plastic bottles.
From plastic bottles. The edges of the plastic are cut with a knife and trimmed with scissors. Then we must “smooth” the sharp edge of the bottle with an iron. We do it this way: place a sheet of white paper on the hot surface of the iron sole, and lightly press the plastic against this paper.
There is no need to hold it for a long time, as the plastic may become deformed. If you don't put paper on it, there will be a trace of plastic on the sole of the iron. You can decorate such a storage container with a ribbon or colored tape. To make it heavier and more stable, you can add coffee beans or pebbles to the bottom.
To make an organizer for brushes, eyeliners and lips, we are looking for glass or just tin cans. Well, further decoration is up to you: you can paint it with spray paint or simple acrylic paint, you can decorate it with lace or braid.
Look at seemingly ordinary glass jars, and if you get creative or glue figurines to the lids (for example, small plastic toys from Kinder Surprises) - what interesting things you get:
A simple and at the same time original do-it-yourself organizer made from a bamboo napkin. We cut out 2 identical circles and one strip from corrugated cardboard, equal to the diameter of the resulting tube. All that remains is to glue the bottom and walls, glue the part, pierce the lid and thread the bead on the ribbon.
For the next job you will need a bamboo napkin, a wide elastic band and a glue gun. Glue is needed to secure the elastic at the beginning and end. Glue can be replaced with a needle and thread. You can easily make this organizer from a bamboo napkin for brushes with your own hands:
Made of wood. This option is suitable for those who know how to work with wood. In order to make a wooden organizer you need, at a minimum, carpentry tools and skills.
Watch a mini master class on making a small wooden organizer. We make the product wider, since the product must be stable.
You can make your own nail polish organizer from a material such as polystyrene foam (also called polystyrene foam). This lightweight white material is usually used to protect household appliances from shock during transportation.
Foam sheets are sold in repair and construction stores at a low price. If you have a lot of gel polishes, you simply need such an organizer.
On the video - how to make a nail polish organizer from polystyrene foam:
From cardboard. This is the most popular material from which you can quickly and tastefully make a small box for storing cosmetics. What may be useful to you for such work: any colored paper, self-adhesive PVC film (sold in all hardware hypermarkets), glossy paper gift bags (instead of colored paper), fabric, acrylic paint.
Here is the simplest organizer made from two cardboard boxes and a piece of wallpaper left over from the renovation:
As you can see, it’s nothing complicated: cut off the top of the boxes, glue them together, and, using PVA glue, stick some wallpaper or colored paper on the boxes. 1 hour of work - and the shelves for storing cosmetics are ready.
Cardboard organizer in the shape of a Cat - master class
This simple and convenient organizer can be made from an ordinary cardboard box and a piece of wallpaper or colored paper. We use it for cosmetics, gel polishes, cosmetic pencils, brushes, hair clips, and so on. You can make this storage box of any size by reducing or enlarging the template.
To make it you will need:
- Cardboard box made of thick cardboard.
- Colored paper for interior decoration.
- PVA glue, Moment Crystal glue.
- Stationery knife.
- A piece of wallpaper.
- White paper.
- Ruler, pencil.
- Brush or sponge.
Cut the box into pieces. Using a ruler and pencil, we draw and then cut out all the details of the product.
We cover one (inner) side of all parts with colored paper (red). We glue the parts of the partitions on both sides.
Apply Moment Crystal glue to the edges of the case. Next, we cut out strips of white paper, coat them with PVA glue, and thus secure the sides of the frame. Next we will need to make the bottom. To do this, place the finished frame on a piece of cardboard and trace it with a pencil.
Cut out the bottom of the product to store cosmetics. Cover the bottom with paper. Glue the bottom to the frame with strips of paper. You can make absolutely any sections inside.
We cover the outer part of the organizer with a piece of wallpaper or colored paper. We glue the partitions inside. Cut out eyes and ears from colored paper and glue them with PVA glue. That's all. The work is done.

Girls love bright manicures. We paint our nails either to suit our mood or to match the color of our new handbag. And even if you don’t have time to go to nail salons, and you’re too lazy to paint your nails at home, each of us has several bottles with our very favorite colors.
The “Everything is in Place” team became curious about how the storage of polishes and manicure accessories is organized for the most ordinary girls. Today we have a lot of photos and reviews!
Plastic baskets, boxes and other “improvised” means
I'll start with myself. A few years ago I ended my “quiet obsession” with polishes. I painted my nails in different colors, drew patterns and matched the design to the color of my outfit every 2-3 days. Now, as an inveterate conservative, I cut my nails short and paint them exclusively red!
The entire small collection of red shades and manicure accessories are stored in a drawer of the dressing table.
Based on the results of a survey of my girlfriends, acquaintances and colleagues, it turned out that many store their “paint and paint” stocks in this way.
Storing polishes in baskets and boxes is very convenient - the bottles don’t roll all over the box, a feeling of order is created, and it’s convenient to pull the box out into the light and choose the desired color.
Here's what the girls themselves say about this storage system:
Alyona: “My story with varnishes is sad - I don’t like them, and they don’t like me. But I still have a few bubbles, I keep them in a tin tea box in the drawer of the kitchen table. There is also a manicure set. It’s convenient for me to do a manicure in the kitchen because it’s light and there’s water.”
Tanya: “I keep it on a shelf in the closet in a box from some kind of souvenir. True, all the varnishes no longer fit. On the one hand, it’s convenient - everything is in one place, on the other hand, there’s the problem of finding the right color and an ever-increasing number of bottles. I want to find a more rational storage solution!”
Oksana: “The green box contains the polishes that I actively use now. In the distant future - those that are waiting for their fate: either they will be given away, or their season will come. There are also all sorts of manicure items and remover. My lifehack is tiny ceramic mugs for liqueur. I pour nail polish remover into them. And when the nails are already painted, I correct crooked lines or smudged polish. I dip a flat brush and straighten it.”
Anya: “The varnishes are stored in a wooden box made from some kind of cognac bottle. The box is getting a little small, but I don’t want to change it - now it’s so neat and beautiful!”
What other storage options are there?
Homemade organizers
If you are a creative person and like to make all sorts of interesting things for decoration and interior, then shopping baskets and boxes will probably seem too boring and ordinary. After all, you can make a varnish storage system with your own hands!
The simplest thing is to cover a cardboard box of suitable size with wrapping paper and make dividers in it. On the Internet you can find interesting ideas for such options and even detailed master classes with complex multi-level designs.
Natalia: “This, of course, is not the limit of perfection, but now my entire collection of varnishes is stored compactly and all colors are visible. I saw the idea on the Internet and modernized it for myself - it’s a box from scales, which I supplemented with thick cardboard shelves and covered with oilcloth.”
Olya: “I have crazy hands! Once I bought assorted cookies in a box with compartments, and the idea came by itself! I didn’t change anything inside, but covered the sides with satin. I store not only polishes, but also cosmetics in this organizer. Everything is in one place and looks beautiful on the dresser!”
Ready-made universal organizers with dividers
They can be plastic, wooden or fabric. Such organizers can be found in hardware and construction stores, and of course on the Internet.
The online store “Everything is in Place” has organizers for cosmetics , made from different materials and in a variety of designs. You can choose the size depending on your collection.
Professional boxes
For the most picky manicure lovers, there are special cases and storage boxes: huge suitcases, plastic boxes with compartments or small acrylic stands and special shelves - all this can be found in specialized manicure stores. The sad downside is that these items are quite expensive.
Inna: “At first it was a hobby, and now I earn extra money by doing manicures at home. Here I have the only place where there is order and harmony. All bottles are stored in a professional acrylic stand on a special bedside table on wheels. All the liquids and tools for manicure are right there.”
Galya: “I ordered a shelf for varnishes to match the size of my cabinet from a company that makes all sorts of things and display cases from plexiglass.”
Let's take a look into the bins of the "lacquer maniacs"
What if there are not 2-3 bottles of varnish, but 10? What if 50? Or even a couple hundred? Do you think that so many polishes can only be found in a manicure salon? It turns out that there are real nail polish maniacs (the girls call themselves that). They collect entire collections of polishes from their favorite brands, chase limited editions, mix colors from different jars, share their impressions and exchange their treasures.
There are girls like this among my friends, and, surprisingly, not one of them has a convenient storage system - nail polishes gather dust on open shelves, occupy entire dresser drawers, and stand in assorted boxes in the closet...
Lucy: “Laaakiiii! They stand on two open shelves and regularly fall out of there, gather dust, you can’t see all the colors at once... Of course, there is some kind of organization system here - all the varnishes are arranged by brand (I remember what color I have from what brand, I’ve never duplicated did not buy). Ideally, I want narrow shelves so that the varnishes stand in one row, and then I will measure them by meters!”
Tatiana: “This is chaos! My polishes are everywhere - in the dresser, on the dressing table, in the bathroom cabinet, stuffed into all cosmetic bags and bags. I really don’t remember where I have which polish, and I spend a lot of time looking for it! It’s infuriating!”
Olya: “I dedicated a whole drawer to polishes in my chest of drawers. There are additional boxes in the box: I sort them, arrange them, but I still can’t see where everything is!”
Interesting ideas
But the girls were happy to share their ideas and Internet finds that they would someday implement.
Lucy: “This is my ideal! Beautiful, compact, everything is in sight! Whenever you get around to doing something like that..."
Tanya: “I dreamed of a special case, but it costs so much! On one forum I saw an amazing idea: a girl uses a suitcase to store miniatures for board games. It is not just big, but huge - in a standing position it reaches to the knees, and at the same time it is made of light plastic, there is even a shoulder strap, the latches are reliable. But the most important thing is what is inside! There are six foam inserts with forty cells each! Foam rubber stretches, holds bubbles well, and the partitions can be cut out and moved to the right place. All you have to do is tune in and place your order!”
Olya: “I found a simple master class online - you need to buy small magnets (I saw “everything for the holidays” in stores) and glue them with superglue to each bottle of varnish. And attach the bubbles to an iron sheet, or even to the refrigerator!”
Oksana: “I can’t sleep peacefully now - I want to do the same: I saw a picture where varnishes are stored in a thick office folder with ties - it turns out to be such a durable box-box. Tall bottles probably won’t fit there, but most of my polishes will like this move.”
The girls gave me more ideas:
In large cosmetics stores or paper catalogs, special products sometimes appear on sale. cosmetic bags for storing polishes, they can be compact (for several pieces) or quite spacious (a hundred bottles can easily fit in).
Svetlana: “I noticed an unusual cosmetic bag in the catalog a long time ago. They'll come up with something like this - a handbag with a bunch of compartments! I bought it and ended up using it as an organizer for my nail polishes - a lot fits into it, and when folded the cosmetic bag takes up little space. An undeniable advantage of such storage is that the varnishes do not delaminate, because when I open/close a cosmetic bag, the bottles constantly change their position - sometimes they lie on their sides, sometimes upside down. It’s better than them just sitting motionless on a shelf.”
Olya: “A mini cosmetic bag for several bottles - and even in another country I can paint my nails to suit my mood!”
Famous equipped with many pockets. Lacquer lovers have adapted it to their needs, the main thing is to make sure that it is securely attached to the bar! And you can order such an organizer right here.
A collection of nail polishes can become a decorative item in the interior.
- From the remains of moldings or ceiling plinths you will get small narrow shelves that can be painted in the desired color scheme.
- These same shelves (or narrow boards) can be placed in a beautiful baguette - why not a picture?
- Nice touches - multi-tiered cupcake stands. Who said they're only good for treats?
That's how many different ideas and options we could find! What storage systems have taken root with you? Or which options did you like best? I suggest discussing in our groups
