As for the nails...

Still chip free after five whole days! I'm pretty impressed because after all the digging I did in the Goodwill bins and cleaning a little (notice I said "a little") at the house I don't see a single chip. I hope they can go the distance...five more days to go to see if they can stay chip free for 10 days as the package promised. I must say I have noticed the slightest bit of what I would call "normal wear" along the very tip top edges of my nails but not noticable...only to me because I'm giving them the super-inspection!
