    Good Luck! You are braver than I. I can't seem to keep mine more then a day. I am such a klutz.

    Thanks! I'm trying not to be timid with my hands. I'm surprised how well they've held up these last 36 hours. :)

    When I have to make a manicure last I don't do the dishes. this might be different if we had a dishwasher. The dishwater is always a danger zone for purdy nails. How many days does the taping last?

    Ah, I'm in love with our dishwasher. :) Taping lasts for five days, Monday-Friday. I'm figuring I'd have time for a mani that Sunday.

    Best. Topcoat. EVAR.

    It's not even marketed as a topcoat. It's supposed to stop peeling, or some such thing. Yeah, I have no idea. But if you use it as a basecoat and a topcoat (and add another coat every 3 days or so) you really can go a whole week. Even doing dishes.

    My problem is that I never want to sit still long enough to let them set. Usually if I get a manicure, I wind up wrecking one nail while it's drying. But beyond that they usually last quite a while for me.

    The suspense is killing me... ;)

    Have you seen the Elizabeth Zimmerman DVDs? (Or any of the contents in another contest). Manicure was definitely not on top of her list!

    I played violin as a child and had to have short nails. My solution was to bite them, which worked especially well when I was nervous. I helped with the Coats Learn to Knit/Crochet CDs as the person who oversaw what the hands were doing behind the camera and knew that my hands would never stand up to that close a scrutiny. I also never liked the feel of polish on my nails-it weighted them down. This is a lot of words just to say your hands look great. They do!

    Have you considered knitting with your toes? I would only suggest that to you...
