Thoughts on Learning How To Polish One's Nails at a Certain Age

It probably doesn't save you money to buy your nail-polish at the local discount beauty supply, as the nice man will convince you that you need a base coat and a top coat as well.

Two layers of color is not quite enough. Neither, for some reason, is three.

The stuff that claims to dry your nail polish if you spray it on lies.

As someone who used to do this a lot

I get mine done by a pro. I can and have smudged them within minutes (the nail dryer they put you under has edges). The spray does help to set them after they have gotten top layer dry (15 minutes). It helps to pull the moisture out of those lower layers

Well, this afternoon I learned that unless your nails are really, really, really, rock hard dry, you should not do the laundry yet.

I pulled the color off (basecoat seems to have stayed in place) and will try again tomorrow, in front of the DVD watching a movie! With a timer.

Thanks, but it's just something that happened, not something I did. The only doing is in remembering not to fall back.

Hello. Our mutual sweetie let me know you'd arrived here in this den of iniquity and time-suckage. Mind if I add you to my reading list?

Not at all. I would be honored.
