Hurrah! Great work putting it all together Lucinda. 
Only one thing missing that I could see - nail polish 'dries' (evaporates) faster in water than in the air. There is a scientific reason for this which I can go searching for if we need to prove it.

nice one, glad to see that some things do actually make it out of the CWW.
i think the smiley might have to go but other than that i liked it very much indeed.

polar solvents (water) verses non polar solvents (acteone) etc. but i forget why.

I remembered that it was something to do with the acetone, but that's as far as memory goes.

Beat you to it, Mina
> "If you're short of time, or you didn't follow earlier advice by going to the loo, 'dry' your nails in warm water as the solvent evaporates quicker in water than in air."

You've just added that! 
I'm sure it wasn't there when I read it before I posted... And I *did* read it, promise!

One thing to possibly add in the colours section - my daughter has a shade that is silver but when it is exposed to direct sunlight, it changes to purple.
Tres cool!

When painting nails, leave a gap (ie, don't paint the whole nail) at the side. This way nails look longer

It also minmises the risk of the "oops, I was in a hurry and missed" look....

All suggestions added to the entry.
Leaving a gap down the sides - in the Collaborative Workshop someone suggested the same thing, but for a different reason: to allow the nail to breathe...
