Wave Sorry to pop in and out girls, been a crazy few weeks here. This question is for the girls that participated in the "VS Returns" club or any others whom may have had this happen to them. Have any of you deposited checks you received from VS generated from this latest batch of returns? As of yesterday,VS has "returned" them. . . as in my bank is charging me $12 for each f***ing check I deposited from VS. CensoredAngry2MadAngryBomb


The reason provided by VS to my bank was "Refer to Maker"Messed Up . I looked to see if I was credited twice (once to my CC and once via check form) and that is not the case. I could go back now and look for a credit to the GC I used...but heck if I know which freaking GC that was. Mistake or not, this VS shenanigan is costing me almost $100 in fees. I will be seeking reimbursement for it and possibly canceling my VS CC.
Wave I have not deposited check yet as VS told me they will send me the return label refund by check i am waiting for those to deposit all together now I am worried if should deposit one first !

How does coconut water taste? I've never tried it. Is it sweet? If so, that may satisfy my sweet tooth & get me to drink some water. Sometimes, I eat a piece of fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth, w/o adding too many calories. This may work better. At least, I'd be drinking a little water.
the taste of Coconut water is sweet ideally. It is when the coconut skin is still green. It gets a tid bit sour once coconut starts to mature. So it depends on the coconut from which the water was taken is but either way I like its taste. I grew up drinking fresh coconut water by straw from coconut directly heart
The brand I get here is Vita coco [amazon.com]. Goya sells it too but it does not taste good IMO.
It comes flavored with other fruit juices too [amazon.com], if that is how you might like it more Smilie

Quote from GoHeels :
Yeah, using base coats I already have would be the smart thing to do. That's not as much fun as shopping though. Blush I wonder if Orly Bonder just doesn't work with Zoya. Scratchchin Speaking of Zoya, I love the colors I got from the last deal. I haven't tried them yet, but they're really pretty in the bottle.

I would have been happy with 4 days. The CND Toughen Up/Julep combo literally started peeling in big pieces the next day. Some of them peeled off in one big piece. The polish separated from the nail & was sticking up around the edges. I didn't have to use polish remover on any of them. They peeled off easily. I think Essie may have lasted a little longer, but not much.



Thanks for the info. I always use 2 coats of polish & top coat. I don't think that should be too much, & cause it to peel. I think the Julep polish may have peeled worse than Essie, but they both peeled really fast. Obviously, CND TU isn't for me. I'd like to find a combo that works great with my nails, & try to stay with those brands. I say try, because I have a hard time passing on a deal for any brand. Teehee



I have to wait for them to be offered to the GP. There will need to be a deal to get me to bite though. I need bras, but they never seem to have my size in the bras I like. Swimsuits are one thing I rarely buy online. I'm picky about the way they fit. The only thing I can think of that I really want is some lingerie, but it would have to be a good deal for me to buy it online. I'm getting tired of doing returns, because stuff doesn't fit or look right.

Good luck. I can't believe they're bouncing checks on purpose. That takes bad CS to a whole new level.
i think missdaisy is right - it's best to use very thin layers of np and base coat. for some reason, my sally hansen base coat never causes that peeling issue, and i think it's bc it's a super thin base coat that hasn't even thickened/hardened over the years.
don't get bonder yet bc i personally don't think it's that great (at least it hasn't been for me). i have actually heard good stuff about the zoya base coat (via temptalia). that is probably on my list to try next. but def try the essie! and let us know if it works better! also, try to use a thin layer of base coat.

and i was only disappointed with 4 days bc deborah lippmann polishes are supposed to stay on forever, but it didn't even last longer than my cheaper polishes, so i'm blaming the base coat.

oh, also, coconut water is not sweet - it actually doesn't even taste much like coconut imo. but i love coconut water, especially straight out of the coconut! it's also supposed to be really good for you in general.
