Whaddya expect with nail polish from the dollar store??

Agnes, dear, it’s called “nail” polish.

That’s a hint.

polished? or dipped?

Agnes really gets all into her beauty routine sometimes.

Agnes, the fashion maven.

Maybe if you were drawn with fingernails they would stick.

Next time she should use turtle wax for that hard shell finish

Got some on your toenails too but that’s probably on purpose.

It is as if she is freshly hatched.

i’m surprised she managed to miss her nose…

Nail polish sticks to my skin better than to my nails.   One of the reasons I don’t wear nail polish.

I bought a used mobile home many years ago.

It had aluminum siding. It had screws attaching the aluminum siding.

The heads on the screws were rusty and had stained the siding.

I considered getting screwdriver, a nut driver, and replacement screws to replace those old things. Then I thought about nail polish. I bought myself a $1 bottle of clear acrylic nail polish at a discount store. The cheapest nail polish they had.

I painted the head of every screw on the outside of that old trailer with the polish. Nothing but nail polish.

After the first time it rained, I noticed the rust stain under each head had disappeared for the first foot below the screw. The next time there was about a 2 ft gap.Over time all signs of rust other than the screw heads themselves was gone. They were still rusty but encased in nail polish.

I kept it several years before selling it to someone else. It survived multiple hurricanes. It had many problems, but it never gave a problem again with those heads. The nail polish never failed.
