Nail polish storage solution

As I posted earlier, I recently ordered some Nfu Oh polishes from NailXL and one of them was delayed. I later received the missing polish, all on its own in a cardbox box that was designed to hold up to fifteen bottles of polish, with little separators and everything. I decided it would be a shame to throw it out, and instead decided to use it for nail polish storage instead:

Of course, one 3x5 box can only hold so many bottles of polish (15, to be exact, as I'm sure you just managed to calculate yourself :P). My "nice" nail polishes collection -- China Glaze, Nfu Oh, Trind -- has grown to about thirty bottles, so the one box was falling a little short. I more or less jokingly sent NailXL a tweet with a link to the above image, asking if they happened to have a spare box lying around... And this is what I found in my mailbox the next day!

Isn't that nifty? Great service from the people at NailXL! :D I taped the box together, cut off the lids for easy access, and added some black duct tape as a decorative trim as well as extra fortification. Here's the end result:
