on 12/23/2008 I'm usually wearing the pantyhose when I add the clear nail polish. It kind of sticks to your leg a little when you remove it later. But works great and lasts through several washes.

on 12/10/2008 I do that all the time, but usually I am wearing them when I apply the polish. lol I try to keep clear just for an emergency but sometimes it seems like all I have are some weird colors.
