... a buffer zone

The Crazy Shine nail buffer comes with a reasonable price and creates a brilliant shine to the fingernails sans polish.  Long-lasting, as well.  Worth a try!

These Blue False Indigo were planted in my gardens last spring and have come back even more verdant this spring. The color in the blooms is incredible.
