Oh and mstevens I met at Juliet's housewarming, though I knew the name online for a while. Hi :-)

Were you really asking at Bmovie about how easy nailvarnish is to put on and remove? Comes in little bottles with a brush, just paint it on carefully, might need more than one coat. Special remover (or lab acetone) and cotton wool to remove. Putting it on is a skill one becomes better at with practice, but some people can even do it on moving trains for example. And it comes in lots of neat colours.

Mmmm. It's worth noting that some nail varnishes are just better than others, so see if you can try a range of brands somehow (offer to paint friends' nails at their place or something (-:). Some make a nice coat with little fuss, others less so. I tend to use regular nail varnish remover for pre-cleaning previous debris with a cotton ball, and then the little cotton-bud sticks for cleaning up any excess varnish afterwards.

Most varnishes are really easy to remove with regular nail varnish remover, so you can experiment fairly safely. Ones that aren't, don't bother with again, it's not worth it.

LNR probably knows much more than me about this sort of thing...

Just a wee plug for my current favourites, the Bourjois range, from e.g. Boots.

The bright red one I was wearing on Friday (um, and partially still am) is a Maybelline one: expensive, wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't such a good shade of red, but it really does seem to be longer lasting than some of the others, and goes on really nicely.

Ta! Will try. Seems like other people's experience is the best way to go.
