Nail polish is very easy to collect but annoying to store. A few bottles can very quickly overrun a smaller space.
You do not need a huge set up to organise your polish. A small organiser, drawer insert, rack, or storage box can be enough to keep your bottles upright, easy to find, and away from heat and direct sunlight.
