If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Trust my rage

ANyone here have any experience with removing gel nail polish? The manicurist who put it on said to take it off like normal but its not coming off. And I looked online but they mention soaking your fingers in acetone for a long time. Which I really don't want to do.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Stephanie - I have tried to remove it at home and was not successful, even with acetone.

I do fake nails myself, and the only surefire removal is acetone. 'Normal' to a manicurist is probably straight up acetone, not any alternative remover. And it isn't that long with acetone. For my fakes (which are probably thicker than a gel) the total time from sticking my fingers in acetone to putting a final coat on the new fakes is an hour. So maybe 10 minutes a hand to remove, so less than that for you? Helps if you scrub/scrape in situ.

That is annoying to hear. Although I've been meaning to visit a friend who works at a salon so maybe I'll kill two birds.

I've been successful only by soaking gel polish in acetone based remover for a pretty long time and periodically scraping it off. It's not pretty!

I always get them removed at the salon (aka my friend's store so it's a place I like to hang out anyway. That's where you hear the best gossip). My problem is that I tend to not be able to stop peeling them off myself once they start lifting. It's addictive.

Loki is SO CONFUSED by Pumpkin. See, she's started to try to play with him. Except she spits and 'barks' when she bats at him. Which he takes as a sign to back off, and then she doesn't get to play and she doesn't get to discover he will play with her. Sigh.

Also, every night, I put a collar on her (she's wily, I think it might be necessary) but every morning, I find it in a new place not on her. And yet she doesn't mind it when I'm watching.

100% acetone on a nail-sized piece of cotton ball. Cover tightly with foil, wait 10 minutes, and it should slide right off. Note: do one hand at a time unless you've become really adept at wrapping your fingers with tin foil using tin foil wrapped fingers.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Someone remind me that it's a terrible idea to respond to someone's post on FB comparing the Penn State situation to Planned Parenthood and their "cover up of child sex abuse." Because it was posted by a Catholic.
