Huh, I don't think that I've seen stores here that also put out those perfume-paper thingies next to their nail polish section. The only thing where I see testers of nail polish bottles are mostly High End and a hand full of american companies- such as OPI (tough, strangely only at the Müller store).

But the same problem is still excisting with the cheaper drug store brands- Essence, Catrice.... where the displays are used as swatch-areas. Tough it probably isn't a local problem as I've seen the same with Wet'n'Wild, Sally Hansen at Walmart in Canada/other drugstores.

The only solution might be to seal their bottles (like SOPI does sometimes, not sure if all their bottles are always sealed) but then the companies might complain/explain about that they have to raise prices, even tough the price for that might only be a few cents(or even less) in production.

Another thing is that most of the time people don't care if there are testers or not. From every age group I've seen people using stuff (not just nail polish). Even tough there are suppose to have swatch-wheels (most opis oand I think Catrice has them too) sometimes they are so hidden or might even get stolen (who does that?) there will probably always be a bunch of ignorant people who test nail polishes.
Best is if you always check be bottles first, even if it's a boxed (high end or not) nail polish, you'll never know :/ (saw a "Lady" once who opened the Alessandro magnetic polishes and painted all her nails with it, but now looking back at it I wish I would've said something)

Bin grad von einem anderen Blog auf euren Blog gestolpert :).

Ich hab schon mein Infinity-Kleid selber genäht (mit der Hand) und ist bis jetzt das einfachste, was ich je genäht habe! Es gibt eine tolle (englische) Anleitung, die zwar ein bisschen Mathematik fordert, aber wenn man erst das raus hat, steht einem nichts mehr im Weg :)
In der Regel braucht man auch ca. 3-4m Jersey-Stoff, je nachdem, ob man ein Kleid oder ein Obeteil näht.

Oooooh, where did you get them? I've been drooling over those (sadly discontinued) flakies for a long time but sadly never found a shop which carries them :(

I have to say, #2 Pretty Little Liars is one of mine too
Got sucked into 16 and pregnant (tough, not really liking the 2nd season, only watched one episode of the 3rd)) and Teen Mom.
