Abstract

A nail polish display stand is formed from a cylindrical housing having an open top end and a hollow interior defined by an interior side wall and an interior floor. A plurality of steps are formed in the interior side wall and form perpendicularly intersecting horizontal annular and vertical cylindrical surfaces. The steps increase in diameter from the interior floor to the open top end of the housing. A plurality of various different shades of nail polish color samples are displayed on the horizontal and/or vertical surfaces of the steps. The color samples may be individually provided on artificial nails secured on the steps. The nails may be mounted on a plurality of spaced arcuate mounting surfaces or may alternatively be secured within a plurality of pairs of spaced slots on the steps. The display stand allows an extremely large number of different color shades to be displayed in a small space.
