did you get the full strength or the one safe for fake nails? the craft sticks are for getting small amounts out of jar and mixing in your pallet. did you have fun? sage aww

It's just nail polish remover. I did check to make sure it had acetone in it though. Where do I get just the regular acetone?

It was fun!!

Great! People don't know that there are different types of acetone.

Hmmm, I'm gonna have to start selling my Berenguer heads and bodies on here. I'll probably list them in the for sale topic after Easter. Keep watching that topic if you're interested. I think I have about 6-7 heads and some bodies. I love the look of them but can't take the smell of whatever they put in the vinyl. So keep watching...

another thing i use is the fake shamwow that they sell(dollar tree) i cut it up in long strips ,after dyeing or bathing ababy i put it in the limb and push it to the bottom with a pencil. make sure you keep a tail out.this helps to dry the inside. sage aww

I will keep an eye out Pat, for those Berenguers! I really like their look!

Buffington · Guru

Ok. I'll be listing the Berenguer heads, bodies (sorry, no limbs), and I also have 4 adorable dolls to list for reborning (they were from that doll place that went out of biz where they sent you a catalog).
I won't be able to list them until the 19th of this month cause I have my college graduation on the 18th. So I'll put them on between the 19th & 20th. So watch for them. I'll try to get as good of pics as possible and put links in the for sale or trade and probably pics in the artist showcase. My daughter just moved back in with us, in a hurry because she broke up with her boyfriend (of 3 years), so that has been rather hectic, and with only 2 weeks left of school everyone is trying to get all their stuff done and I'm like the student helper. Sheesh! Makes it difficult to get my own stuff done. But I'll get them on there. :/

I'll be looking!

Buffington · Guru

Thanks Tina, congrats to your daughter! What is she graduating as? I have my Associates Degree as a Jeweler.
