Is nail polish a renewable resource or non renewable resource?
Answer
Nail polish is a mixture of things; it includes pigments, solvents, and resins/polymers etc to form the paint-like film when it dries. Most of the components are probably derived ultamately from petroleum or mineral substances, so, at least some of it is, technically, non-renewable, however, lets keep it in perspective, the quantity of the earths resources used for nail polish is a very, very tiny fraction, so you can paint your nails without feeling a lot of guilt that you are ripping through the earth's resources like there is no tomorrow.
If you could get your parents to plan ahead and combine errands when driving, not go hog-wild with the air conditioning, fix the leaking fawcet washers, and such stuff, it would offset your nail polish use many, many times over.

Is this trendy or tacky? (nail polish)?
Janet
so I was wondering what is considered to be trendy or tacky in the world of nails and nail polish.
So what do you think is trendy or tacky on this list below?
Metallic Nail Polish
Neon Nail Polish
French Style
Short nails (well kept)
Long nails (natural)
Long Nail (fake)
Answer
Metallic Nail Polish - Trendy
Neon Nail Polish - Trendy if done well, tacky if not
French Style - Classic, which is better than trendy because it never goes out of style
Short nails - Trendy
Long nails (natural) - Trendy
Long Nails (fake) - depends, but usually tacky.
I used to think metallic and neon nail polish was very tacky until I tried it myself, and I liked it. I got compliments on my metallic blue nail polish, but I haven't tried any neon colors as of late (and I don't think I will). Anything natural (to me) will always be trendy, but long fake nails are a tough one. If they're being used for a french manicure, trendy. If they're being used with some whacky color for the dragon lady effect, tacky. I've found that the more fun colors look less tacky on shorter nails.
