>>Great tip. I'm trying this today. Thank you, Fatale.

I also use hydrogen peroxide as a toner. I learned that trick from a friend who's been in the facial business for years. After I wash my face, I just use a cotton round and go for it. The combined cost of a box of baking soda and a bottle of peroxide is maybe $3.

>>This is interesting..the peroxide wouldn't be drying either, compared w/other alchohol-based toners.

It can sometimes stain your eyelids too.

Okay, it's not especially cheap, but

I just ordered this polish and

I can bring it with me when I have my nails done.

>>I really like this idea...Do you find that the powdered milk works better than using regular whole milk added to your bath?
