The Collector's Dilemma
For nail art enthusiasts, a collection of fifty bottles quickly becomes a memory test. You know you have a "blue holographic," but is it the one that chips in two days or the one that requires four coats? Standing in a store aisle, trying to remember if you already own "Midnight Sparkle," is a recipe for duplicate purchases. If you are organizing your polish by color alone, you are missing the technical nuance that makes a manicure successful. You need to know the Finish, the Longevity, and whether it Stamps Over Dark Colors.
This template is a digital технічний swatch book for the serious collector. It moves beyond the simple list and captures the performance characteristics of every bottle on your rack.
Performance Metrics
The strength of this system is its focus on utility. It doesn't just track the Brand and Color Family; it forces you to rate the Longevity and log the required Coats. This data is invaluable when you're planning a manicure for an event. If you need a look that lasts a week, you filter your collection by "5-star Longevity." If you're doing complex nail art, the Stamping Polish boolean helps you instantly identify which bottles have the opacity to work as a design layer.
The visual documentation is split into three specific slots: Manicure, Stamped, and Other. This allows you to see the polish in action—as a full nail, as a design element, or perhaps in the bottle. You aren't just looking at a hex code; you are looking at your own proven results.
Usage Analytics: The Rotation
The ultimate value of this system is the usage tracking. By logging the # of Times Worn and the Last Time Worn date, you can identify your favorites and your neglected bottles. This helps with decluttering and ensures you get value out of your investment. You move from "hoarding bottles" to curating a functional art supply library, ensuring that every Polish # and every Finish type is a known tool in your creative arsenal.
