    Default Black Laquer (OK fingernail polish)

    My "borrowed" bottle of Avon black is about out. I'm looking for advice, what is the best? Sally Hansen's or some other brand of polish or are there better sources for laquer?

    The responses to your question should be interesting. I use whatever I find in the dollar store. But then I'm a tightwad.

    Fingernail polish of several colours works for me. I like the effect of silver or olive sparkle on the heads of streamers - although a final coating of clear is sometimes needed. The $1 store is a good starting point, and remember, in 8 weeks the drugstore will have Halloween (black) on the shelves.

    My then teenaged daughter gave me her "no longer cool" bottles, but the dollar stores are the best place to find every color except clear, which isn't really a color but the lack thereof. If you have a teenager in the family, hopefully a female type, there may be a source of various colors.

    There's no reason for that, they're all the same

    Be that as it may, though, I think Stage is correct that when it comes to choosing a brand of nail polish, SH is the pick of tyers more than any other brand.

    That doesn't count the hand-me-downs from the women on our lives, just the guys that go to the store and buy it.

    If ya' can wait a short while, in October, i.e. Halloween, they'll be ample supplies of black nail polishes...

    Actually in early Nov. there'll be ample supplies at half price... or less. Last Nov, I picked up several bottles for a less than buck each!
