Nail Varnish?!

I paint in clutter, bottles and tubes everywhere. I have always done this, but it is time for a change....

I had to organize my workspace, so I began looking into ways to store my bottles of Vallejo and found (after trawling the Internet and mastering Google-Fu) many ways people had used.
  • Test-tube racks (Too expensive)
  • Wall mounted Spice racks (Too big a job)
  • Custom Laser cut wood (also Too expensive)
So I toyed with the idea of building o vertical rack from multiple cheap copies of Connect 4 but this proved impracticable and as I browsed Amazon UK I was close to giving up.

Then I saw it!

 PERFECT, So I bought two. They arrived this afternoon and I hastily built them, I found that if I got 2 slightly longer Bolts from my tool box I could join them together at the middle to make a long sturdy rack, and although the seller did not state the inner dimensions each said they held 60 bottles of nail varnish, that translates to 85 bottles of Vallejo each, I have 169 bottle at the moment so just enough (until I buy 2 more paints)

Here they are fully laden.






All in all a great purchase and a much tidier desk.

Happy Painting
