Bon's got a good idea there.
Though I have worked with a Karthik who happened to be female, so you'll still run into exeptions.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Sophia! I'm so glad you found my suggestion useful!

Juliebird, take a big old worn towel to wrap around the Havahart, and then you can carry it out without worrying about your fingers getting nipped or bodily fluids being scared.

Plei, the nail advice worked! I found some OPI Chip Skip for a base coat, used my Sephora/OPI polish and used some Nail Envy for a top coat since I haven't picked up any of the top coat suggestions. But they are smooth and pretty! I just need a bit of practice with the application and I should be good to go.

It's so weird because outside of jammies, I rarely find things I want at Children's Place. Weird, right? The boy clothes are all so skater/football/baseball playah. But we do need new pants yet none in N's size. gr. argh.

Chip Skip's not actually a base coat, it's a nail cleaner/degreaser. So it can help application, but won't prevent staining. Nail Envy can be used as a base, though it has ingredients that my nails don't like. Some of the nail board people really love the Sally Hansen insta dri top coat. I found my polish crazed like old china with it, so YMMV.
Mmm. Nails. Glad they worked out!

Plei, what do you recommend for nails that are all yucky due to months of dark-colored polish? Not just discolored, but starting to peel? Should I be using a base coat to protect them? (These are toenails, if that matters. They grow so slowly that they get a lot of layers of polish and polish remover in a summer - I tend to leave them bare in the winter to recover.)

Nail polish is fascinating--it's a combination of chemistry and technique. Kind of like baking.

Flea, I am of the always use a basecoat school. I would say to take your buffer to them now to smooth them out/remove some staining, then use a basecoat on them, possibly a damage-hiding one like Barielle Natural Nail Camoflauge.
