After printing the table, I proceeded to cut the labels one-by-one. You can see how it looks in the picture below. In case you are wondering, I used Helvetica, 8pt to make sure the words fit comfortably in the table cells. Then I typed the brand name (in bold and caps) the name of the polish and the number of coats applied in brackets.
