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.)
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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.

Funeralled and memorialled.
Came home and went through clothes. Now have a large box full and 3 rarely worn suits. Probably worth doing another go-through, but I need to go shopping before I finally commit some things to the heap. Winter's coming, need the sweaters.
Tried to vacuum, but the belt is slipping, so....I need a new vacuum one of these days.
