Anyone with a collection of nail polish knows how hard it is go get it off things once it’s dried. Somehow polish stains manage to find the strangest places to hide and that’s what today’s post is about – removal from strange surfaces

The beauty industry generates billions of dollars selling items that are supposed to make us feel & look more beautiful.

Modern Conveniences
Team Inspirationail wanted to stop for a moment and consider that women haven’t always had a cosmetics shop round the corner. Modern society has placed a huge variety of beauty items (usually enveloped in bright & inviting packaging) right at our fingertips.
