I have had some trouble finding something to hold all my plates. I started out using different kinds of plastic sleeves in a big folder. It looked like this:
|  | 
| Baseball card sleeves for the small plates; round, hexagon and squares. I put some sort of drawer lining in each pocket, so they wouldn't slide out. | 
|  | 
| Baseball card sleeves for plates like VividLacquer. They barely fit there. | 
|  | 
| Baseball card sleeves for big round plates. | 
|  | 
| Bookmark holder sleeves for oblong plates. | 
|  | 
| Photo sleeves for big square plates. | 
|  | 
| These sleeves for oddly sized plates that didn't fit into the other ones. | 
It worked great for a couple of years, but eventually it was so heavy that I had trouble carrying it - especially if I wanted to find a plate with semi-wet nails. I couldn't carry it with one hand only, so my mani was in danger every time I would pick it up.
And all the sleeves were getting so heavy that they were hanging out from the folder, if I held it vertically.
I weighed it, and it was 
6 kg. Maybe I'm weak, but it was too heavy for me to pick up effortlessly. 
I just wanted something that worked better than this heavy folder, so I started to scour the internet for holders that would work for me.
More on that tomorrow..
