Last week I talked about my current obsession interest in nail polish racks (see Casee Covets #1) and how I had quickly snapped up this one for a very reasonable price after looking high and low online to no budget-friendly avail. The specific item on Amazon that I purchased is no longer available, but fortunately this seems to be the exact same product.
Well, obviously my nail rack came this week! Very efficient shipping. Upon preparing to mount it on the wall, though, my enthusiasm was vastly deflated. Straight from the box I saw that the acrylic was foggy with permanent fingerprints (not mine), as well as plenty of exposed glue that contributed to an overall inexpensive (dare I say, “cheap”) look. But, you know, it was cheap, comparatively, and you get what you pay for. I took a bit of glass cleaner to it, and I’m sure it did nothing to help, but when I held it up against the wall I realized that the fogginess completely disappeared from notice, and the exposed glue would be under the bottles of nail polish anyway, out of sight. The result, I think, is pretty snazzy. Take a closer look after the jump.
So while I was thinking that I wouldn’t recommend this one due to its low quality, it actually gained quite a bit of merit, this little thing. I’m really quite fond of it. I took the opportunity to narrow down my collection, tossing a few old polishes, and I think I ended up with about seventy bottles, plus another thirteen or so of top coats, strengtheners, etc. And there’s still plenty of room! It held all of my bottles from various brands perfectly – OPI, Essie, Butter, Zoya, Piggy Polish, Orly, Revlon, Urban Decay, Ulta and so on. The only thing that didn’t fit was my nail polish remover, but I keep that in a closet anyway.
All that’s to say, if you’re thinking about getting a nail polish rack and you’re willing to put up with a little bit of straight-from-the-box, what-was-Casee-thinking panic, the Fuji Nail Polish Rack for $32 will give you organization and a touch of glam.

You go girl. That looks like the salon.
I am glad you were able to fix it up! It’s a shame it arrived the way it did but honestly I can’t even see any of its imperfections in the photos! You did a good job
I love how you color organized them, you definitely have quite the collection!
oh lordie i am jealous of this!!! the plastic cubbies for my polish bottles are overflowing and this is just amazing. if i had this much more wall space i’d be adding this to the cart. but that’s what amazon wish list is for – the future!!!
I had never thought to get a rack like that to organize nail polish. It’s the perfect idea! Currently mine are in two baskets that are overflowing. And the ones I use the most are in a smaller makeup bag.
You are a genius. Seriously!! How I have made it for 3 decades on this earth without one of these is totally beyond me. Though I can see my husband questioning it if I try to hang in our shared bathroom, hah!
Love it! I adore organization, and the chic kind the most. If only I had an empty wall!
Oh wow, I am coveting it!! Big time! Do you give yourself manicures? I bought a mani kit and need to teach myself to do them well, so I can start saving money by not going to the manicurist every weekend.
Ahhhh! So nice Casee! It fits perfectly in that space! It’s such a great spot for it.
Love your polish variety, by the way! So many colors, brands, textures…ahhhhh <3
I have to say that when I read about the imperfections and looked at the pictures I thought you’d gotten a second, better one. Hehe. I love how that looks on your wall.
By the way: do you have For Audrey by China Glaze? I love that polish even though it’s not perfect for my colouring. Ah well, pretty is pretty.
I LOVE it! So chic and I love how immediately visible all of your colors are (which, by the way, you have a great range of colors!). Organizing my nail polish is still one of my goals this summer, and although it may not happen as soon as I like, I want my collection to displayed as nicely as yours!
I’ve been looking for one of these forever. All of my polishes are clunking around in an old make-up bag that I can’t even zip shut. I think it’s time to look into purchasing one of these!
How did you mount this to your wall? Which drill bit did you use to put the plastic anchors into the wall? Mine just came in the mail and I’m not sure how to mount it…..
Hi, Jessica – I’m really sorry, I had help putting the unit up and I can’t remember what we used to mount it. We didn’t use a drill bit, possibly just a screw? But I can’t remember enough to give guidance. I’m pretty sure mine came with instructions, as well.
Sorry again that I can’t be a better help. Good luck!
