Today I’m continuing my Nail Studio Organization Overhaul (Part 2) by resetting my main wall of nail art storage drawers—five drawer units that were honestly overdue for a full refresh. Some things stayed put (like my glitter drawer because… are they not so pretty?), but a lot of it needed a real declutter. I went through builder gels, hard gels, potted gels, polishes, chromes, charms, decals, and even my nail tips, and I started rebuilding a system that actually matches how I work day-to-day. A big part of this reset was being brutally honest about what’s expired or just not working anymore. I tested old potted gels, stirred them, and if they were separating, clumpy, leaky, or just gross, they went in the garbage—even if it hurt a little. Pot gels especially “walk out” on me and leak even when they’re upright, so I kept what I could salvage and let the rest go. By the end, I had clearer categories (cat eyes, top coats, jellies, clays, chromes, tips, mixed nail art, swatch stones, and self-care items), an easier workflow, and way less “throw it in” chaos. Next studio day, I’ll go deeper into the polish drawers and swatching.
