The Business of Beauty

August 16th, 2012



I keep most of my make-up stowed away in trays in bathroom drawers (seen here), but when it comes to my colorful cosmetics, I now keep them out on display. I have a pretty expansive collection of nail polishes, and yet I almost always rotate between a few tried and true favorites. I chose eighteen shades, ranging from glittery golds to jet black, and lined them up in an acrylic rack that I attached to my bathroom wall. As for my lipsticks, instead of piling them into baskets, they now rest on a pretty tray so that they’re easily accessible and I can quickly differentiate the colors.

    What a great idea and easy to find too. I am always looking for the nail polish that I can never find….

    You’re so lucky to have a husband who allows your feminine touches. My fiance and I are in a constant feminine vs. masculine battle in our house :-/
