How do your store all your Julep polishes?

How do you ladies store your (probably many, haha) Julep bottles?

A friend of mine actually made a rack for her polish.  Non-Julep, but would work for Julep Bottles.  This was before it was 100% complete, but it gives you an idea.  She said it was easy to make.  It cost about $15.00 (tape, glue gun and (4) foam boards from Michael's).

I love having some of my favorite seasonal nail polishes on my makeup counter, so I use the acrylic lipstick holder from Container Store which holds Julep polishes perfectly! The acrylic is of really good quality and looks more luxe than you might think a plastic container would!

Mine are in a big Julep box that I got recently. Along with my China Glaze collection and a few random polishes I had no room for in other boxes/containers.

I have three of these carts, one for make up, one for polish and one for hair and skin. I have over 250 polishes and they get too heavy for the draws. All my julep are in one of the bigger draws and I still have space but am afraid the draw will drop on top of my china glaze and OPIs.

I think I have a problem. I've run out of room, which means I need to buy another rack!

I made my own a few months ago for my Julep and random polish. I need to make another soon though because now I am running out of room now since Julep has taken over this one and would like to have all of my polish on one wall.

Julep is like a gateway drug. You figured that getting some free nail polishes wouldn't hurt and before you know it you have hundreds of theme from monthly boxes and addons and upgrades and sales and gifts with purchases.

Seriously. I'm at less than 100 bottles, but I've spent literally hundreds of dollars on Julep. Before subscribing to Julep, I'd probably spent less than $30 on nail polish in my entire life.

These wall racks are so beautiful, but for me the best option might be getting a Helmer. I'm going to be moving in with my boyfriend into an apartment this summer and we live in California! So I don't want to destroy the apartment walls, the boyfriend probably doesn't need a constant reminder of how much polish I buy, and hello, earthquakes! I don't even want to think about the mess there would be if there was an earthquake and all that polish came tumbling down...

I live in California too. Earthquakes (that you feel) are so few and far between, and I've never had one take down any wall treatments. Things can jumble sometimes with stronger ones (even rarer) but never had it take nails out of the wall!

Haha yes but I'll be moving to the Bay Area and while yes there have only been small ones recently, but when the big one comes, I do not want to be standing right next to a wall rack full of nail polish in glass bottles when it happens lol!

I purchased this last night on Etsy and can't wait to receive it! Right now my Julep polishes are sitting on my dresser (I currently have 52 polishes) so definitely need a place for storage as I imagine my collection will continue to grow

This is exactly why I have a Helmer, LOL. I remember Loma Prieta, one of my fish went FLYING out of our 40 gallon fish tank through the little hole in the back that was open for the filter tube. Luckily, I was right there and able to throw him back in, LOL.

Anyway, while a rack may not completely come out of the wall when the big one hits (and we are long overdue), a bottle could definitely jump ship and break.

I was amused that not long after this exchange, La had an earthquake lol. Although a San Diego earthquake scale went around and I think 4.0 was ranked "did the dog fart?" Lmao.

That's crazy! Yes this is my concern, not that the wall rack will fall, but that the polishes will fly out! I'd rather not take the chance. Helmer here I come wait for me at Ikea, I'll be there before I move!
