How much is a manicure and a pedicure usually?
it really depends on where you get it but usually at a salon its over 200 dollars i know its expensive but 10 dollars to buy nail polish and do it yourself :)
Wow, I don't know where the above person goes that costs them $200, must be the same places celebs go! For the rest of us....anywhere between $20 for a basic (file, buff, cuticle and polish), and $80 for a deluxe (basic plus exfoliant, mask or parrafin, massage).
How can you get nail polish out of fabric or cloth?
Various ways to remove nail polish
- Depending on the color of the clothing, try nail polish remover if it doesn't come out soak the stained are in the polish remover for a minute or two and then machine wash.
- It depends on the material. If it's some of the synthetics you're out of luck. You can try a little acetone. If that doesn't eat the material you should be able to pull most of the polish out. If that doesn't work, you can try a little paint stripper, but again, that might eat the material.
- After testing for colorfastness on a hidden spot, sponge over the stain with pure acetone, available at beauty-supply shops and drugstores. Then launder the shirt as you normally would. Never use acetone on fabrics that contain triacetate or acetate (check care labels), because it can dissolve the cloth. For those, use amyl acetate, available at drugstores.
- Try bug spray, Off Skintastic, Motsenbocker's Lift Off #3, or a can of acetone (and some Oxy Clean for washing afterward). I tried the bug repellent on one spot of the comforter and then Motsenbocker's on another. The bug repellent seemed to lighten the stain, but the Motsenbocker's was actually LIFTING the stain off of the fabric, so I switched to that. I had to spray, blot, and rub the spot with a soft-bristled toothbrush about 25-30 times, but IT COMPLETELY CAME OUT.If you use Motsenbocker's make sure you have a towel or something absorbent under whatever you are cleaning to catch the stain dripping through from the other side! if this doesn't work try the bug spray!
- Use OFF!, Aeroguard or a similar bug/insect repellent - Place some paper towel under the stain or between layers of fabric if treating clothing. Spray well onto the stain and then brush stain to loosen and lift it with a soft toothbrush or something similar, spray again and repeat. It takes a little while. the stain can be dabbed with damp paper towel in between however this will remove dried nail polish without staining. Weird but true!
- PUT SOME HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ON A PAPER TOWEL AND LAY IT ON THE RED STAIN THAN PUT SEVERAL BOOKS ON TOP OF THE TOWEL AND LET IT SIT FOR AWHILE.
- Try and remove with acetone then wash as normal
- Soak Item In Plenty Of Polish Remover Until Clean :) Or Just Saturate That Area With Polish Remover.
- My teenage daughter had put a bottle of fingernail polish in our cart at Wal-Mart and when we were going through the store, it fell out and broke and this melon colored polish splattered on her black Ugg boots and all over the lower leg of my expensive jeans....I read the answser on here about bug spray and used OFF SKINTASTIC and a fingernail brush....I saturated the areas and let set for about 10 minutes, used the brush to scrub it and it all came off.....I was amazed and wish I had known that a few years ago when I got it on my comforter. I had used Goo Gone first and it did nothing...even though it's supposed to take off paint, tar, etc. What a money saver this tip has been.
What color nail polish did Jackie kennedy like?
Jackie Kennedy wore mostly reds, pinks and cream colors. French manicures were also a favorite.
How do you make nail polish remover?
Unless you're making it in fairly large batches (i.e. producing it for sale), it's probably going to be cheaper and easier just to buy it since it's much more readily available to the average person than the ingredients themselves are. However, most of the ones currently on the market consist primarily of acetone, ethyl acetate, or a mixture of the two (MEK, methyl ethyl ketone or 2-butanone, would probably also work). They may also have fragrances or dyes, but those aren't technically necessary.
What is the best color nail polish?
The best nail color polish is light pink, a pink that is a few shades lighter and brighter than your nail color. It is very modern, professional, and will go with every outfit you wear! The best brand of light pink that I have ever used is Revlon Sweet Nothings. It lasted forever and I got MANY compliments!
Hope this helps and please award trust points!

Does picking at your chipped nailpolish damage your nails?
surprisingly yes, it does affect and damage your nails. ^_^
ok, I will try and answer what I think you mean.
Nail polish is made up of many ingredients, in times gone by, they were laden with chemicals and still to this day, there are some companies still using a lot of harmful chemicals.
Many now like revlon, etc are now making their nail polish without 3 of the most harmful chemicals.
The great thing now is, you can buy organic, natural nail polish which is very good for your fingernails health.

Are you allowed to wear nail polish in a hot tub?
To my knowledge there are no legal restrictions against nail polish in public hot tubs. In a privately owned hot tub, it would be up to the feelings of the individual owner, however in a lifetime of hot tub use and ownership, I've never heard anyone refusing, or even having a problem with a nail polish wearer, assuming you mean dry nail polish as opposed to wet and freshly applied. On the other hand, it has been my experience that the bubbling hot water can actually be hard on a very recent manicure, even when its had a chance to set. If you want to keep the polish looking good, you may want to make sure to wait a day or so before entering.
Why do wives seem to stop wanting sex after being in a marriage for a long time.?
In my case, it was because I took her for granted and over the years grew a strong sense of entitlement to get my way all the time and stopped thinking about what I could do to make her life better. -- I realized I was not being the husband I wanted to be but I did not think my wife deserved any special treatment, now that I took her for granted -- I finally realized that there is, and never will be any other woman in the world that has given her time and self to me to the extent my wife had -- and therefore there is no other woman in the world that deserves to be treated special by me other than her --- So I started acting like the best husband I could with NO STRINGS attached and with no expectations of getting anything from her in exchange including her appreciation -- I did this for both for my sake and hers -- Now our 24 year long marriage is the best it has been in over 20 years -- When I stopped being selfish and self-centered everyting got so much better -- as cleche as it sounds it turns out that I have been very blessed by giving to my wife that I was trying to get from my wife. -- By me taking a position of serving my wife full time, I became the husband I was intended to be and my wife is now the wife I always wanted. -- Hope this helps. It is probably from working full time and being a wife and mother and house wife she is out of time. Their are not enough hours in the day for a womans work maybe if you could offer to help her in some ways such as cook once in a while or clean on the weekend for her it would help I promise. Belive it or not if you just did something such as flowers when its not birthday or anniversary or a certificate to get a manicure and pedicure she would melt. Coming from being a woman who has alot on her plate, and my husband does do these things it makes a difference. hope you dont think I am being hard on you just trying to help good luck!!! you used the same move to many times. think up a new one, tell her, and make sure she likes it!
