Has anyone returned to nordies without a receipt. The item has the sticker thingy. Will they put it back on my cc?
They will put it back on your cc with the sticker (or any other CC you choose). Or, they will give you a gift card, if you want or cash. They are the most flexible store ever as long as you have your receipt.

Re: nail polish - my nails (two coats of Zoya over Orly bonder, no top coat) lasted for a good 8-9 days without chipping (even after I had to cut them all down because they were starting to hurt from being too long). I don't know if it makes a difference but I used Zoya Remove+ before putting on the Orly bonder, waited a good 20 minutes for the bonder to dry, then did one coat of Zoya. Had to run before I could do the second coat, so that ended up being several hours later...I know I read online that if you want your mani to last, you should do thin coats and let it dry at least 15 minutes between each coat.

Congratulations, Taryn! And thanks for the info on Mint.com! Now that I'm almost done with school, the loans are starting to loom a bit lol, and I needed something to help me make (and stick to!) a budget Smilie
How do you like Orly Bonder? I was using their base coat/top coat combo and it completely wrecked my nails--the tips were peeling (not the polish; my actual nails) and they're still getting back into shape. I'm so sad! I've been using the whole Zoya color lock system since then with no problems.

Also, thanks to EVERYONE for their congratulations! I'll definitely post a pic of the ring when I get it... unless, ya know, he changes his mind before then. :-P

hey sheena - it's really cool that orly bonder works for you. my zoya polish peeled within 2 days with orly bonder. :-\

i will have to try letting it dry longer in between. i have had better luck when i've done that, so maybe that is the key! thanks for the info.

i used sally hansen base coat, 2 coats of zoya (pasha), and seche vite. i did them fri or sat night, and my right index finger chipped yesterday and there is substantial tip wear on all the other fingers on my right hand. my left hand is pristine tho! i did all the coats within like 5 min of each other, so maybe if i were to wait it'd be better!

I know you mentioned that after some research, you thought those rollers were the best. What made you pick those over something like this?

Alvs, I think you have those steam rollers. Do you like them?

Now you guys have me wondering if I can continue living without steam rollers Smilie

i didn't notice them at amazon. better deal because of the tax i paid. but returns will be easier at bestbuy in case they suck.

i just thought they were good theoretically, for not much money. just because the rollers are all jumbo and there were 20 of them included.
