People can be such dicks about weight; idgi. It's rude and childish.

The nail polish thing is the worst! Do you use a base coat and a top coat? Those help a lot. Depending on the brand of polish sometimes I get a weeks worth of wear without TOO many chips. (Zoya and Wet and Wild Megalast are both fantastic in terms of staying power, but of course it depends per person too.)

Yup.

I'm not a polish queen. I do not understand base coat and top coat. All I do is put the same color on multiple times. Then I cover it with a clear coat.

I generally get a week out of my normal stuff. But this lasted less than a day.

A week is good though! Not many polishes will last longer than a week. Base coat and top coat are pretty simple though; you just apply and wait, the same as polish. I generally use two coats of polish in-between, but some weaker colors need three coats to look right.

Some brands (and individual colors, even) are just worst than others. :(

Oh I just do that with polish. What do you use as a base coat? The clear stuff?

This is what I use as a base coat. (Do you have a Sally's Beauty Supply? That's where I get mine.)

Technically it's a hardener, but it works well as a base coat too. The same brand has an 'all in one' polish that you can use as a base and top coat, but I typically use the hardener for the base coat, put two (or three, if it's an extremely weak color) coats of color, then the all in one as a top coat. If you have any problems with your nails (or just want to keep them looking pretty) then hardeners are excellent.

Though, I've tried half a dozen brands of base coat and top coats, and right now this is the one I'm using; I like it quite a bit. OPI is pretty good too though, and I THINK it's a bit cheaper.

(Although, if your polish already stays you might not want to go to the extra effort. And expense. This shit be expensive...)

I never even heard of this stuff before. I just get my polish from Target. Thanks for the tip.

I think that's what the place by the old Borders is called. I was going to look to get Fro a sparkly pink fro-pick from there, once upon a time...

Do you think it's still there? I do know about one make up place that a bunch of my ren faire friends go to but it has a different name.

Pfff, damned if I know. Last time I was in that area, Borders still existed!
