If you like wearing nail polish often wearing a base coat and using water based nail polishes are recommended. Remember nail polish is not the only way to make your hands look fabulous try buffing and filing your nails as well as shaping your cuticles for a healthy mani!

This is definite rumour. The eye colour you are born with is the eye colour you are stuck with unless you want to undergo a surgical procedure or wear colour contacts.
