Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I had a perfect topcoat, but label is gone and it's all gunked up.

I've got no experience with artificials and tend to the thicker (superfastdrytime) top coats. But if you take a snap of the bottle, I might be able to identify the brand. Which is kinda sad, now that I type it.

Because books.

Oh, Deadwood. I miss it so. Definitely watching Justified tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Cooking with extra virgin is kind of a waste, P-C. The heat destroys the extra-ness, as I understand it. Possibly the virginity as well. I am unclear on that point.

I have my DVR set up to catch Justified. Mmm, Olyphant.

Eta: Zen interior? What?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Extra Virgin just means it's the first press of the olives, P-C. It has a more delicate flavor, though some people think it cooks off when you use it to sautee.

I could also probably identify the brand. Sadly.

OK, since all you nail people are about, what's a good cheap drugstore clearcoat that is a) pretty thin and b) doesn't craze reacting to artificials/ polish. I get this happening sometimes and it makes me crazy. Seems to correlate with thicker topcoats. I had a perfect topcoat, but label is gone and it's all gunked up.

You need a polish thinner, if by gunked up, you mean gone thick.

What are you looking for in it? Dry time, added shine?

Gunked up means the ubiquitous cat hair and thickening. It was a Sally Hansen, silver top, but the last one just like that I tried immediately fucked up the test nail.

I just want an extra layer to deter scratching a little more. These nails already have a coat, but after I've finished filing them down, need to do a layer b/c of the tips, which like to chip if I don't and I'm just nick-y in general (these are the fakes I use: [link] 10 minutes is a lie. Or I'm slow. )

eta: I think I want a slow dryer, actually. Something not too reactive.

I've had crazing issues with Sally Hansen top coats, too. It's kind of irksome.

Maybe this one? [link]

I learned it from you, Plei! I learned it from watching you.

I'll give it a try and let y'all know. I've got plenty of nonfitting test nails to play with.
