Casa Quickie: Label Residue

Top Stories Today

I know this isn't 1975 or anything, but keep the nail polish remover away from synthetics...you'll get a big hole in that spot.

Careful with nail polish remover and plastic. They don't always play nice and can result in a melted plastic effect.

yep, I like using this old bottle of store brand vodka, left over from the high school days. Works just as well!
