Description: The lacquer surface is white, glossy and shiny. The camera flash drowns out the luster and makes it appear flat but it's really gorgeous! The box is quite huge in size at about 13 inches long by 5 inches wide. It opens by a hardware hinged construction from the back of the box. The interior has a smooth, velvety surface with the Julep logo on the top portion and includes removable inserts. You can add as many or as little tabs as you like depending on how you want to arrange the storage areas. Keep all the tabs in place to use as a Julep nail polish storage container. The box holds up to twelve full size julep bottles. The photo does it no justice, it's really a fabulous find at the price I snagged it for. I'm completely in love with it.
