Whatever I use I always use Seche Vite for my top coat. I've never had a better one. Really makes my nails stay pretty until I'm sick of the color and want to change it.

Don't know where to find it as my nails split and break not matter what polish I use but I do use polish on all my electric cords. I polish the side of the plug so I know which way to put the plug in the socket. Do the same with the ends that go in my machine. Usually I polish the plug with the plug visable to me when inserting the plug. Just hate fumbling around trying to get the plug in the right way.

Ube, I just wanted to say that I looked up Champagne Toast, and it is similar to a color that I wear often. Very elegant shade. Amazon has it listed for $64 94. I can't imagine anyone paying that for a bottle of polish. My husband buys me polish and occasionally buys Clinique and Estee Lauder. Those can cost around $25, which I personally would never pay, but I think it's adorable that he would, considering how frugal he is. My rule of thumb is to spend no more than maybe $8 on a bottle of polish. I wait for sales on the more expensive brands. There is so much to choose from that it is senseless to spend more. Thanks for the tip to use vinegar. I usually use alcohol.

I haven't tried this exact one in a while, but I see the reviews are very good for it. Comes in lots of colors. Here's a pale pink called Sugar Coat. https://www.walmart.com/ip/wet-n-wil...&wl13=&veh=sem

I'm a sucker for pretty nail polish. I like Essie (but wish they were a tad less expensive--$9 a bottle is more than I care to spend). Gonna try the Sally Hansen Champagne Toast--that's a really pretty neutral!

FYI: My GGD told me I have mermaid toes because I am wearing turq polish on my toenails. Are there any other mermaids on this forum?

When I asked her about "mermaid feet" she didn't know how to answer me but knew they have a big fin. Said she'd have to think about it.
