Would rather have a commenter that shamelessly promotes her own blog than a troll who is ballsy only in anonymity. I admire strong opinions and good humour but i am not crazy about personal anonymous attacks, either to me or my fellow readers.<br />And with this, i disable this anonymous commenting experiment.

I don't mind short ones and it would be more relaxing for you (and readers) ;)<br /><br />I do think that people are too obsessed with the 3-free polish. Unless one is working in a nail salon, how could a few drops of polish be so harmful to us? But as you said, the polish companies won't argue with the consumers and have to change their formula.
