Its rare for me to find a product I like enough to leave a review but this product gets 5 stars from me. While Im sure the manufacturers didn't intend for consumers to use the product with regular nail polish, I find it works wonderfully. I love changing my polish often so I cannot say if regular polish will last for the 2 weeks they claim of the gel polish but I did get 7 days of beautiful nails with NO CHIPS. I suspect I could have gone at least 3-4 more days. I chose to use regular polish because the gel polish colors are limited and I have a nice investment in my regular polish that I didn't want to waste. I also find the removal is very easy contrary to what others have said of the gel polish removal. I wrap acetone soaked pads around my fingers with aluminum foil and wait about 5 minutes and this removes the top layer of gel and the polish and then the bottom layer of gel i gently scrape off with my fingernail...so easy and no damage to my nails.

I bought the Shimano wide cycling shoes to fit feet that have widened over the years due to bunions. My once 9-C feet are now 11-4Es! These size 45 shoes, though only labeled E, fit well with the Velcro straps loosened slightly, and my feet have stopped hurting after I ride. The cleats fit nicely into my 6-year-old Shimano SPD pedals and click out smartly. My only complaint is that I had to pay an extra $26 to buy and have the base with side rails installed between the cleat and the sole to make walking safer and the cleat more stable when riding. I recommend this part (it's shown on the direction sheet) and believe this should be part of the shoe as sold, as it was on my older Shimano mountain bike shoes. Perhaps this configuration is standard on road shoes, but it seems to be just another way to make more money when you already have to add about $22 for the cleats. At least it should be advertised as a needed extra at the point of sale.
