Look for it where they have facial and body lotions I think. <br />The grapeseed oil I ordered online, but I just use it because it didn't work as an all over body moisturizer for me, so I didn't want it to go to waste :) Use whatever is available to you but doesn't go rancid too quickly.<br /><br />You actually won't be using much of the additives - just enough that while you are removing nail polish, your nails don't get super dry like they would if using acetone alone. I mix them together in a smaller pump bottle which takes me about a month to use up.<br /><br />Aand, if you can't find any oil or glycerin, just mix the acetone with an acetone-based polish remover, which usually has glycerin in it. I did that most of last year and it worked well! The ratio that worked best for me was about 50% acetone to 50% acetone based - that way I still got the speedy polish removal without the dryness.<br /><br />Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions!ABOP Laquerlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941561809869575754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377751810976897585.post-88721280723457887252011-02-24T14:24:17.480-08:002011-02-24T14:24:17.480-08:00Your nails are beautiful!

If I'd known anyone was interested in this info I would have shared sooner! <br /><br />@Megan - Try the smaller bottle of topcoat if you can as it's not too much of an investment.<br /><br />@LadyLuck27 and @Ivana - I wish I'd known about these long ago, they're awesome! When I use it over nail art I usually wait about 15 mins then put it on thick and quick so the brush doesn't touch my nail. I haven't used it with konad stamping polish though, and I'm sure that would still smear.<br /><br />@For Me, It Works... - No, this topcoat doesn't dry as fast as Seche Vite, but my first nail is dry by the time I put topcoat on my last nail. You do still have to gentle for a few minutes, but then you're good to go.<br /><br />@Kaitlyn and @JQ - Definitely give these a try, and if you want to pick just one to try first, I'd suggest the topcoat - in the smaller size of course.<br /><br />@Taki - I'm hoping it's the topcoat you have, go dig it out from your stash now!ABOP Laquerlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941561809869575754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377751810976897585.post-74662541961595172272011-02-16T20:05:46.684-08:002011-02-16T20:05:46.684-08:00Good info.

I have a couple base coats I use on a rotating basis (or whichever I can find first), but I've yet to find a fast dry top coat that I really like and that isn't expensive or get super thick at the end.Megan Harmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16280536206959904670noreply@blogger.com
