Nails may be small but they are visible and very important part of fashion. The great thing about nail polishes is that there is a great offer in colors, shades, effects and even in care. That is why almost every woman has a collection of nail polishes, and not just few, but more than 30 or 50 pieces. The problem with this amount of nail polishes is their organization.

But on this side of the pond, we are still turning bottles and packages around in our hands, squinting confusedly at the fine print and giving ourselves crow's feet that we will soon need non-animal-tested wrinkle cream for.
