In our world, there’s no such thing as too many collections. After last year’s Black Friday and Mystery Boxes craze, I’m sure you’re all wondering how to deal with your nail purchases–from where to place them to how to organize them. It could become too much to handle at once, but keep your chin up because January is the perfect time to incorporate new practices like proper nail storage and organization. Kickstart your month by organizing your nail collections from iGel Beauty! 1. By Type For those who love to collect the duos (Dip & Dap, iGel Match, Rosé, and LB), you have the option to store them together or separately. A quick recap: The gel bottles are opaque to protect the product inside from UV rays while the transparent ones are lacquers (air-dried). Keeping them together will make it easier for you to grab both items, helping you save time and effort. On the other hand, separating these bottles seems more visually appealing and practical as it reduces the risk of confusion. 2. By Color/Shade If you want your space to look straight out of Pinterest, then this is the best way to organize your nail collection. Arranging your Dip/Acrylic Powders like DD or LB on the wall by color/shade will result in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing presentation of the jars. Who needs a painting when you already have a beautiful backdrop? Plus, it is going to speed up the decision-making process of your clients. 3. By Product Number Long-time customers or even newer ones of iGel Beauty would know that we love our products numbered! Assigning specific numbers not only streamlines our inventory management but also makes it easier for customers to find and select items for their wishlist quickly. This option is best suited for iGel Beauties who focus on functionality and pay close attention to detail. You’ll be able to pinpoint the missing items on the shelf like lightning! 4. By Finish Investing in different finishes lets customers match their nails to their mood and style. Showcase your artistic range by displaying your nail polishes by the finish! This method will allow you and your regulars to locate your opaque, sheer, and glitter polishes quickly. Not just that, it can enhance your creativity and inspire new combinations of nail design. This can also encourage your clients to explore and experiment! 5. By Most Popular/Most Used Have you ever been asked by a customer to recreate a nail set completely, from the design to the nail color? This is one of the reasons why categorizing some of your nail products according to the most popular or most used is very useful and time-saving. With this way of organizing, you’ll spend less time looking for the nail shade and be able to distinguish which items must be replenished soon. 6. By Group While some individuals love powders, some are allergic to dip/acrylic and prefer using gel polishes. Managing your nail collections by group or as a set of powder, gel, and lacquer (also known as 3-in-1 collections) is more inclusive for your customers and subtly introduces your diverse skill set. Additionally, it can pique your clients' curiosity about trying the acrylic application for the first time. Life is short–buy that collection you’ve always wanted and don’t be afraid of the organizing part because we’re here to help (virtually)! You can definitely arrange your nail collections by using one or combining two or three of these methods; it’s all up to you! Do you know other ways to keep our nail goods organized?
