I use Seche base and top coat. As long as I actually remove the polish at the first sign of chipping, doesn't weaken my nails. Zoya's Remove is good but I just use acetone cut with glycerine. I use the tub and it's fast and I wash and moisturize right after.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm considering canceling with the OK Cupid guy. My head is hurting so much, and I'm dizzy, that I don't really think I'll able to carry on much of a conversation.

Just canceled. I can't even walk without feeling dizzy.

Thrive to spite them
Hil, I say go with your gut and cancel.
I should have gone with my gut yesterday and take another day to recover. This morning I was in PAIN so I had to take the strong stuff and I'm not at work. luckily the pain meds are keeping me from freaking out that I'm going to get fired (irrational but still there).
Will came over last night to check on me and we watched Princess Bride. He loved it! I knew he would but it was cool to see him enjoying it. His favortie part was Andre the Giant.

Thanks, Cass. I was using Sally Hansen, but it's a fairly new bottle and it's just gloppy and not very smooth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Strix, if your nails peel off in layers like onions after you wear nail polish, you're allergic to the formaldehyde in the formula like I am. (Or maybe it's the toluene.) My nails are always thin and weak, but they don't peel unless I wear regular polish.

Mine peel whether or not I wear polish, but I am wearing it a lot now -- combatting a life-long nail-biting habit.
I just did mine last night, so when this starts to chip, I'll just give them a good buffing and use some strengthener for a week. I have a shitton of heavy-duty cleaning to do (like, cleaning with bleach water every baseboard and door in the whole house) and I try to use gloves for a lot of it, but I'm not doing to use gloves for everything.

Buffing is the one things that cannot happen to my nails. Thins my already weak nails.
My period starting explains why I feel like crap.

Steph, O, font of medical knowledge, is there any reason either omeprazole or hydrochlorothiazide would cause either heartburn or a UTI? Because I've had both, chronically, since I started taking them, and I never had either before in my life.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Omeprazole should prevent heartburn, so that would be weird. Let me go look stuff up -- give me a minute.
