I really need to get some of that. It's not at the drugstore, right?

I bought mine at a Sally Beauty Supply, b/c there's one right by the grocery store. I don't *think* the drugstore carries it, but I don't know for sure. I think one of the nail-polish-istas will know for sure.

So, anyone with advice on buying a new car that's in high demand?

Steph, the antibiotics are kicking my ass as well. I went to the mall today, went to three stores, stopped for some lunch, then walked back to my car. I came home, and am exhausted. Considering a nap with my new pillow.

I'm getting kicked in the ass by a fibro flareup. I actually went home from work early, which I rarely do, but I'm not getting anything done and thinking is difficult.

It took me way longer than it should have to type this post.

If the ears are a lot better, I'd say the antibiotic is doing its job, Teppy. I think it just take you a while to feel better, since you've been so sick for so long.

So, why aren't you better?

Ginger, it's in East Nashville, near the southern tip of Shelby Park.

My mother grew up on Forrest Avenue in the Lockeland Springs area, so that's close to her old neighborhood. My grandfather fished in Shelby Park, and during the Depression, someone said to him about his string of fish, "Some of those fish are pretty small." My grandfather replied, "When you have five children, no fish is too small."

I haven't tried Seche Vite because I was told it doesn't work as well with 3-free polishes, so I bought Poshe instead. I find Poshe kind of eh in terms of chipping, but maybe I'm just hard on my manicures.

Like Saturday I did my nails (Zoya Envy! so great!), then worked in the garden for over an hour and cooked enchiladas and washed up. D'oh! Manicure was toast by this am, so here I am with a new coat of Gemma (yum!). Seriously the wrong way to spend my free day, but oh well. I also got a bit of housework and semester planning done as well.

I'm at the beach in Maine. Well, not actually AT the beach right now, because it's been raining, but in the house by the beach. Three middle-school-age boys rode by on bikes, with tennis rackets over their shoulders, singing the Oompa-Loompa song.

So, anyone with advice on buying a new car that's in high demand?

Buy low, sell high?

I can use Seche over Zoya but I need to use their base or my mani is toast.

Nails and drugs seem to be my Buffista core competencies today.

I have yet to find any way to make a mani, including schmancy professional ones as well as my own half-assed efforts, last a full 24 hours without crinkling, peeling or chipping. Pedis are a lot better, but I've pretty much given up on manis as a source of anything but a really good, fragrant hand massage.

All the Zoyas look absolutely gorgeous, though.
