Nail czarinas, because y'all regularly demonstrate how (scarily) well you know your shit, I come to you with a question: my gf loves doing her nails and hates when they start to chip, stripping the polish when it starts to get even a little rough (in stark contrast to my own patented 'leave single toenail painted for like a year' method).
However she has both sensitive skin and brittle, fragile nails, and the polish and remover do neither any favors—the remover seemed to weaken her nails, actually. It got so bad she stopped using polish altogether: obviously a shame as it's something she loves. Other than 'chill out with the polish removal, sheesh', what not-hideously-expensive products and techniques to you recommend to strengthen nails, make polish last longer, gently remove it, etc?

One tip on refining the raw edge laid against the zipper: - Use a superfine grit sandpaper to gently sand down the rawness of the cut edge of the leather - gently! - and kind of round out the straight edge cut by the rotary wheel. - Ink the edge with your sharpie. - Polish the edge using your beeswax, in either of 2 ways: buff using a piece of cotton muslin impregnated with beeswax (you'll have to melt the wax and soak the muslin which can be incredibly messy, but makes the buffing step easier); or carefully and lightly rub a little of the hard wax against the edge, then buff with a plain piece of muslin. The sanding and beeswax not only spramp up that raw edge and gives an amazing artisan finish, it seals the raw edge of the leather, which protects and adds life to your piece.

How's it Hangin'? A Flop Tutorial. I know some of you still have snow on the ground, but for us Floridians summer is already kicking into high gear. And summer means flip flops. Yep, we southern girls have 'em for everything: casual wear, evening wear, 'flops with heels, 'flops with big poofy flowers glued on...you name it.
