    Nailpolish remover homemade

    i dont know any recipes but when im in that situation i usually take like a pen cap and scratch it off. i know its probably bad for your nails but i works. or you could put clear nail polish on and then wipe it off immediately. if that doesnt work then you kinda have to go get the plish remover.

    What is your favorite skill?

    I really like Dominique Moceanu's beam mount at the 1996 Olympics. Its just so different! My favorite skill would have to be a double back or pike and i like when Shawn Johnson does it. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...
