Hi colette I got a question for u: how do u control the smell and fumes from nail polish? I remember when I was younger and my parents tell me not to do nails in the bathroom because of the inhaling chemicals and stuff. I was wondering how and where you do all your nail stuff? Please answer if u can, and thank you!

@Number1ChoChangFan I just work at my desk, the area is pretty well ventilated & I have an air purifier in the room also so that probably helps long term to clear out any lingering fumes =)

Do you know any brand or colors of polishes that are just so opaque that they can cover your whole nail in one coat without any "bald spots"? I'm wondering because I have a Wet 'N Wild orange and it took like 3 coats to cover my nail without it being way too thin! It kinda peed me off!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@bananabieber11 they are out there, but there's no specific brand, it's going to vary every color - one with very good coverage off thetop of my head is China Glaze Millennium, which is silver =)

Do u clean ur sponge every time u use it or do u get a new piece?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@yaz101202 I use a new piece or cut off the part with polish on them - they are pretty cheap, only a few dollars for a pack of 3 big ones at Michaels =)

@PianoGirl555 LOL too funny since someone else just said they are perfect length - to each their own I suppose =)

[oxSugarBabe]

This is sooo gorgeous!!! I can't wait to try this!!! :)

One question though, if you have shorter nails .. It won't look as good. Mine are medium length, any tips?

Oh & if those are your natural nails, DAAAAMMMNNN ! they're long! :O !! Mine always seem to crack...

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CraziboutJewelry yes - you just make the sections smaller or stick with only 2 colors =)

[CraziboutJewelry]

@simplelittlepleasures Can this be done on short nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Mrsblessedlikethat almost always Seche Vite =)
