Jun 23, 2010 at 7:07 pm #1260473
my base weight is currently 6.9 lbs, would be nice to see that first number a 5 (not 5 even mind you, just the first number) :)
I made one note on the NeoAir that going to a small would shave 3.8 oz- the medium size w/ the sit pad is darn nice, but maybe I'd like the small and the sit pad???
I included carried items as these are the items I actually carry on person- I could put my camera in my pocket to shave base weight, but frankly I don't
thanks in advance
Jun 23, 2010 at 7:32 pm #1622857For me, all weight from skin out counts. I would count all items worn and carried when trying to lighten up. However, I understand your desire to get your pack base weight into the 5s.
Here are 2 quick easy fixes. If you are already wearing a good pair of socks (like Darn Tough which you listed), then I would drop the spare. Carry a light pair of dress socks instead just to sleep in (summer conditions). Also, depending on your cooking, you could lighten your kitchen. You could carry a beer can pot instead of a snow peak. I only use these if I'm doing freezer bag cooking…not a fan of them for any other purpose except boiling water.
If you want to spend some $$$, buy or make a cuben quilt. Wish I had one!
Jun 23, 2010 at 7:49 pm #1622861This is what I would do-
1. Attach the gorillapod to trekking poles
2. Cut out map into sections and take only what is required
3. Leave 1 platypus bottle at home. When I run out of water, I boil tea and drink that while I wait.
4. The SP 600 lid is really not lightweight. I find no difference in using foil lids considering that they'll be held in a stuff sack anyway. Cut down beer can pots are also very light if you're willing to do that.
5. If you are talking about the SP short spork that comes in the hybrid kit–it weighs the same as the BPL or Sea to Summit regular sized sporks. It's better to just detach foldable sporks
6. No extra socks
7. Cuben tarp if you have the expense
8. Same with cuben pack
9. Sleep on pack instead of pillow (hard at first but gets easier)
10. Do you really need sit pad?Jun 23, 2010 at 8:14 pm #1622875thanks gents
I'm a little leery of hiking w/ just one pair of hiking socks, maybe I just need to get over that :)
would the gorillpod stay attached? it would be definitely be more handy on a pole (vs pack), my hikes take me off trail a fair bit so some concern of it getting "rubbed off"
I might be able to shave some map weight- good idea
I could lose a bottle, it does help w/ rotating treated water and occasionally in high/dry areas two bottles are handy
the lid is one of the "custom" aluminum ones made by a member here, weight is 16 grams and the little wood knob is nice to grab (doesn't get hot)- granted a piece of aluminum foil would be lighter
it's their short ti spork (not foldable), haven't see it in a kit, but might be- it's a hair lighter than their "normal" ti spork
the pillow is definitely a luxury- although it is relatively light (and packs to almost nothing)- if I knew I wasn't going to be wearing my down jacket I'd be more apt to leave it behind
sit pad is used as back pad for the pack, use it for sleeping AND as a sit pad :) it's not a necessity and could probably be axed
cuben tarp and pack not in my near future- would be nice though :)
I've got a 450 mug, I'm going to have to check my boil meals- it might be enough pot for what I'm using it for and would save close to a 1/2 ounce
Jun 23, 2010 at 8:14 pm #1622876You're starting to get down to the low numbers and here is where (for me at least) the decisions definitely get tougher and you might be eliminating some things you really think you need. The areas I think you could reduce weight or eliminate weight are:
– lighter pad – GG Torso weighs 3.5 oz. Save 9.2 oz
– eliminate pillow. Save 0.8 oz
– FAK / repair kit – I think you could get this down to 2 oz total or less without too much difficult. Save at least 0.4 oz
– eliminate tripod. Save 1.6 oz
– do you have two compasses? If so, eliminate one and save 0.8 oz.
– maps: a one page custom map weighs .2 oz. Save 1.6 ozThis would be a total weigh savings of 14.4 oz without spending any money which gets you really close. Lighter spare socks or a beer can pot would save you a little more and might get you under 6. To make any big strides in eliminating ounces past that you might have to spend money on a lighter tarp (cuben) or pack. I hope this helps. Good luck!
EDIT: You would have to spend money ($35) on the GG Torso pad to loose that weight. Sorry for the oversight.
Jun 23, 2010 at 8:23 pm #1622880-You have a sewing kit yes? That's why you only need 1 pair of socks :)
-The gorillapod will stay attached and you'll definitely notice if it slides off since your poles will move in front of you every step. You could always hold it down with a rubber band. Alternatively, you could check out something called the StickPic
-A trick for the 450 mug–many meals call for 2 cups of water. Well, I improvise. You could use the 450 cup mug and boil the 1-1/2 cup or so of water and add it to your meal. When it is done rehydrating, it'll be very salty–add the remaining 1/2 cup with cold water. That way, your meal will be at a temperature ready to eat.
Jun 23, 2010 at 8:36 pm #1622885nobody likes my pillow :)
sewing kit to repair them- yes, but no blow drier to dry them :)
I just looked at the meals and they call for ~ two cups (some a little less) for meals for two, I usually halve those so I think the 450 should work just fine
I'll evaluate my repair kit/fak- there probably is a little room for improvement there
two compasses, but one is "real"- baseplate/sighting, the other is just a small Suunto button compass housed in the match safe
what do you reccomend for a map source? I imagine you can still grid them for utm gps use?
I've become highly addictive to the NeoAirs :)- not sure I could go back to a close cell pad- maybe the small one though- there are substantial savings going to a closed cell though- probably adds volume though, the Ion is not overly generous in size
Jun 23, 2010 at 8:49 pm #1622887I like your pillow but it is definitely a luxury :) I have one and carry it most of the time. On trips where I am trying to go light I don't take it though.
I understand the love for the neo air. It is unfortunately the only major place I see in your list to eliminate some significant ounces without high cost. You are right though – not a lot of room in the Ion so that's a tough decision.
For maps – you should be able to load or print from your mapping software. I think Alan Dixon's article on his Sierra Hike last summer explained his process pretty well if I remember correctly. It depends on the length of the trip and how detailed of map you need as to if you could actually fit it all on one 8×11 sheet of paper though.
Overall, I think you have a solid kit and it is pretty light so I'm not sure there is are many places to loose much weight without some sacrifice (i.e. sleeping on a closed cell foam pad) or some cost (cuben tarp or pack).
Jun 23, 2010 at 9:36 pm #1622901The gorilla pod is light, yes. However, do you really want to add any unneeded ounces to your trekking poles? It beats me why people put anything on their poles (like ductape). You lift and plant these poles thousands of times while hiking, so why make them heavier? I know…there are plenty of threads and comments on BPL about this…and to each his own. Just my opinion.
Looks like you have a lot of good ideas on here.
Jun 24, 2010 at 1:08 am #1622934If you really want to get to 5 or lower, you will need to spend a little money. But here is how I would do it.
Pack- GG Murmur w/o pads & trip straps (save 5.1 oz)
Replace sit pad and air mattress with Suluk 46 ground pad and padded ground sheet (save 8.4 oz)
Don't need hip belt pouch (save .6 oz)
Tim Marshall quilt w/ 2" loft (save 5oz)
Use something else for pillow (save .6 oz)
BPL Nano Tarp is big enough to not need bivy (save 10 oz)
Add Marmot Essesnce Wind/Rain Jacket gid rid of Houdini (add 2.6 oz)
Replace cookset with Caldera Cone CVP (save 2.5 oz)
Sleep in hiking pants, calipene bottom not needed (Marshall quilt is much warmer (save 5.6)
I bet I could shave 2 or 3 oz off you misc stuff, but won't count it.
Total weight savings = 35.2 oz
New base weight = 4.71 lbs
Jun 24, 2010 at 5:22 am #1622953The only think i don't like about the cvp is you have to keep buying those expensive esbit tablets, or can you use alcohol as well? Im switching to a keg at some point in the future.
Also I know you want to get under 5, but having a 2nd pair of socks is something i have NEVER regretted. If your going out for more than a few days, its paramount IMO. Wait though..Aluminum is linked to alzheimers right? Might not go keg..
Jun 24, 2010 at 5:49 am #1622958no ready to give up the pillow just yet :)
also I'm not trying to get under five, I realize that would take a rather major overhaul which I'm not considering at this juncture
^ agree on the socks- I like having two pair (w/ one pair that is always dry)
look like the 450 will work, found some pretty stout aluminum "foil" that will work as a lid- savings of 0.9 oz over the 650/lid
I also looked at my TP figure and that was from a 5 day trip, three day trip worth weighs in at 0.5- savings of 0.4 oz
I can ditch the trowel- a suitable stick will work (albeit probably not as well)- savings of 0.7 oz
we have a very large printer at work, going to se what I can come up w/ for a map on one page- I'd like to keep it at quad scale if possible- my thought is I don't typically need two FULL quads- usually just portions of each
my goal is to cut the map weight in half- if done- a savings of 0.9 oz (possibly more if the paper stock is lighter than USGS?)
that's roughly 3 oz- a start anyways :)
the windscreen I built for my stove also doubles as a wood burning stove (w/ the addition of two stakes)- it's pretty efficient and I use it whenever I can. I carry the Esbit in case of inclement weather, lack of wood or laziness :)
Jun 24, 2010 at 6:02 am #1622960Two-three stakes held together make a fine trowel.
Jun 24, 2010 at 6:15 am #1622962^ good idea- thanks :)
Jun 26, 2010 at 8:39 am #1623565made a little more progress :)
I reduced the suncreen and bugdope by 0.1 each for a whopping 0.2 savings :)
I've reduced the fak to 1.3 for a savings of 0.5, the repair kit to 0.4 for a 0.2 savings- total 0.7 savings
I've replaced one of the liter platys to a 1/2 liter (I like the gatorade powder packs and they are designed to mix w/ a 1/2 liter- perfect)- savings 0.2
I had too many Micropur tabs, saved 0.1 there
I reduced (replaced two of the larger stakes w/ smaller ones) the stakes/guy lines saving 0.4 oz
I nixed the hip pocket- 0.6 oz, I still would like some kind of small mesh, tiny pocket that I could slip onto my belt to hold sunscreen, bug dope, etc- if anyone has ideas for something small/light lmk
I nixed the tripod, replaced it w/ a stick pic (0.4 oz) http://thestickpic.com/- savings 1.2 oz
soooooo 3.2 ozs gone, inching closer, now @ ~ 6.6 lbs
Jun 27, 2010 at 2:59 pm #1623828if you like the golite ion the lighter option would be a zpacks zero made of cuben at ~2oz!
Jun 27, 2010 at 5:22 pm #1623871Pitch your 18 oz. trekking poles and get some 8 oz. LT4 and you save 10oz. Then worry about cutting grams.
Jun 27, 2010 at 6:13 pm #1623922^^ both appear to be nice bits, but not probable in the near future
I was able to shed .8 oz on the maps and .3 oz on bear hanging rope- it was 50' long and I never used that much in all my hanging, so it was trimmed back to 35'
Jun 29, 2010 at 8:05 pm #1624717I took the suggestion on ditching the sit pad (albeit it was after I was reading the thread on the MLD Burn and saw several were running their neo's in thirds against the back of the pack)
the Neo in thirds fits like it was made for it and provides a nice smooth backing/cushioning for the pack- so I inch yet a little closer :)
I also got my Stick Pic device in and playing around w/ it looks like it will make a very viable substitute for the tripod
Jun 30, 2010 at 8:37 am #1624866It looks like you did a good job modding your ion Mike. Mind posting a few more pics of it? I'm a sucker for the things but mine is still a blank canvas. :)
Also, if you're serious about getting the weight down on the cheap, and I think it has already been mentioned, you should at least play with beer can pots. They're cheap enough that you can always toss it if it doesn't suit you.
Jun 30, 2010 at 11:48 am #1624926I use a stuff sack with a shoe lace sewn across the top. You pull the stuff sack's top up under your belt. Fold the top down over the belt and feed the lace around the sack and tie like your shoe. Stays in place and if you use a dry sack rain won't get to the contents. Very simple and works well.
Thank you,
Jason Cuzzetto
Jun 30, 2010 at 12:00 pm #1624928^ I like it- thanks :)
I can't take credit for the modding of the Ion, Tim Marshall did it for me (before he got famous :) )- his work is top notch
the flap pouch I put my first aid kit, compass, headlamp, notebook/pen, maps and water tabs
the elastic side pockets I use for liter (or 1/2 liter) bottles, the rear elastic pocket w/ bungee can be used for wet tarp, fishing pole, etc
Jun 30, 2010 at 9:50 pm #1625172So I stand corrected – Tim Marshall did a good job of modding your Ion. I must have an eye for quality or something! :)
Regardless, the pack looks nice. I particularly like how this design utilizes the entire bottom surface of the lid for a very minimal penalty in weight compared to the smaller pocket sewn in the middle of the lid variant.
Jul 1, 2010 at 6:15 am #1625224Tim definitely does outstanding work :) the lid pocket, mesh back/sides, bungee added less than two ounces and has turned it into a very capable 3-4 day pack

Based on a story I'd originally started five years ago that never became anything, I decided to give it another
go with To Be a Protector; a webcomic taking place in a fantasy world heavily based around the 1800's. In an
archipelago overseen by gods who represent and guard the elements that comes in the form of an "orb", when these
protector's reign comes to a close every 500 years, new heirs must be chosen through election by popular vote.
Following the story of Grylo Paton, a young man with a muddled past, he somehow experiences traits of said
godhood despite never having ran for such a status. He's soon to learn why, when this news is broken in
a way nobody foresaw. Nobody but one.
This comic began as a means to gain practice for future upcoming projects (which you will see from me down the road)
and though it began as a test-run, it's evolved into a bloody massive undertaking I have poured countless work and love
into, that am beyond thrilled the share with the world. I hope you'll take the time to read it and fall in love with its characters
as I have through the years.

1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette Review
This car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.Comfortable seats with entertainment for everyone.
The Oldsmobile Silhouette is outfitted well with thoughtful interior touches that make trips with kids go easier. It's actually fun to hustle down a challenging road.
The Oldsmobile Silhouette is available in four models: GS, GL, GLS and Premiere Edition.
Shortest is the $25,370 GS, which is 187.4 inches long. The other three models come with extended bodies that stretch to 201.4 inches long. The GL retails for $24,990. With the $28,020 GLS comes a plethora of standard items.
The Silhouette Premiere Edition, like the one we drove, is priciest of the four models, at $31,580. It comes with a slick new video entertainment system for rear-seat passengers that is not available on the other models. Almost every option you can get on a Silhouette comes standard on the Premiere. The only options are gold trim pieces for $150 and an $85 towing package that upgrades the pulling ability of the minivan from 2000 to 3500 pounds. Northerners will appreciate an engine heater that adds a mere $20.
The extra 14 inches of the three extended models adds considerable cargo area behind the third row of seats. This minivan offers the same dimensions as the Chevrolet Venture and Pontiac Montana.
All Silhouette models get two sliding passenger doors as standard equipment. Curbside doors on the GS, GLS, and Premiere Edition are power-operated. In the base long van, the GL, the motorized door is an option.
The Silhouette is a great vehicle for big families. Extended and multi-generation family units are encouraged to enter the Silhouette, which coddles and comforts its occupants. Each seating position has been attended to with bins and cubbies and cupholders. In the Premiere , there are six rear headphone jacks so Junior and Grandpa won't have to listen to the same tunes.
The Premiere comes with two buckets in the front, two in the middle row, and a split bench in the third row that will hold three adults. Headroom and elbowroom are generous in all seats, yet tall folks' knees tend to ride high in the middle row. The middle buckets in our test minivan would not recline fully unless they were at their forwardmost positions, which discourages adult naptime when the van is moving. The third row seats are perched a bit taller than the middle row, so the view forward is clear. Moms tell us that smaller children mounted at such heights are entertained--and therefore remain quieter--by what they can see out the windows. The short GS and longer GL models come with mounts for three bucket seats in the middle row. There are eight seating spots in this configuration, though you can order a GS with just two buckets in the middle row. You can also get a 60/40 split bench for the middle row of the GS and GL that carry two adults or two little ones in built-in child seats. This bench isn't available in the fancy GLS and Premiere models.
The seats fold and remove easily. Handy little pictograms on the frames underneath the seats instruct you how to unlatch them from the floor. They are the lightest seats in the business, so removing them is worthwhile when you need greater cargo capacity. However, they are heavy enough that an adult or strong adolescent is best entrusted with moving them across the minivan's floor and into your garage.
Our Premiere came with smooth leather seating surfaces, but otherwise looks the same inside as the lower-line Silhouettes or the Chevrolet Venture or Pontiac Montana. The dashboard is neatly arranged, except the CD and VHS videotape players are mounted on the floor, a long reach from the driver. The gauges are easy to read, and other controls are intuitive--once you get used to the door switches in the overhead console. The middle buckets and rear bench seats are surprisingly form-fitting even though they look like simple, flat benches.
Premiere Edition's video entertainment center consists of a 5.6-inch flat-panel color monitor screen that folds down from the ceiling behind the two front-seat occupants. About a foot behind this screen is another ceiling console that houses four separate small panels with knobs and jacks. On the far left panel are two knobs for additional rear seat heating and cooling. On the far right are controls that operate the in-dash stereo through headphones. This way the driver can cruise along in relative silence while the rear-seaters switch stations, or play cassettes or CDs. One panel overhead houses input jacks for Nintendo, Sega Genesis, or Sony Play Station video game machines that play on the flip-down monitor. The remaining panel contains headphone jacks and volume controls for videotapes that are played on the monitor. The tapes are inserted by the driver, but can be controlled by a remote from the rear seats.
This all sounds like complex integration, but the end result is simple: No matter where you sit, you can enjoy your own form of entertainment. All of the systems can be overridden by the boss in the driver's seat, which is helpful for parents issuing time-outs to over-enthusiastic kids.
There's enough cargo space for six suitcases, but you'll have to use the roof rack if you want to cross the country with the six big folks that the comfortable seats invite.
Driving Impression
All Silhouettes come with a 3.4-liter V6 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The V6 makes 185 horsepower. a slight increase over the 1998 model. Anti-lock brakes are standard.
The V6 engine is a powerful workhorse with good throttle response and efficiency. It produces strong low-rpm torque for quick acceleration, even when loaded down. You can feel the engine growl slightly through the steering wheel. Traction control is optional, and is a good idea for easier control in winter driving. Without traction control engaged, you can spin one front wheel during a spirited take-off. With a powerful V6 and front-wheel drive, torque steer is sometimes noticeable--a slight tug on the steering wheel under hard acceleration.
There seems to be less feedback of road vibration through the steering wheel of the Silhouette than you'll find in the Montana or Venture. Perhaps the touring tires of the Premiere are tuned for less harshness. These same tires likely contribute to the Premiere feeling less grippy in corners. Body roll is also more noticeable in the Silhouette than the Montana.
The brake pedal of the Silhouette feels spongy, especially when you compare it to Oldsmobile's more modern sedans, such as the Alero, Intrigue, and Aurora. The anti-lock brake system, however, works well, with steady and unobtrusive feedback when it's engaged on slick surfaces.
The Oldsmobile Silhouette makes all occupants feel they have control over their personal space, with spots for drinks, trinkets, and volume controls for headphones. You could live in here if you had to, and it sometimes seems that way when you're stuck on the 405 in Los Angeles, shuttling distractible youths to after-school Tai Chi lessons.
We've driven minivans with aftermarket video and television setups, and none of them match the sound quality, picture quality, and ease of operation found in the Premiere Edition. The GLS model gets most of the same equipment, but no video system, for $3,560 less. (A firmer suspension with automatic leveling costs $270 on the GLS, but is standard on the Premiere.) That makes the video system an expensive option and the Premiere Edition a rather expensive model.
The Silhouette is fun to drive and it rides and handles better than the previous generation of vehicles from GM.

Obesity and diabetes are considered the new worldwide epidemics. It is well accepted that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity and the associated type 2 diabetes. Interestingly, the improvements following RYGB start occurring before weight loss, and the mechanism for these effects is unknown. Recent findings in our laboratory have identified bile acids to be responsible for a significant portion of such metabolic improvements. Our laboratory has been successful in establishing mouse models of RYGB similar to those performed in humans. In an attempt to understand the potential role of bile acids in the metabolic improvements seen with RYGB, we have created a new mouse model that enables diversion of bile acids to various segments of the small intestine without altering the anatomy of the stomach. Our preliminary studies show that biliary diversion to the ileum produces better weight loss and protection from high fat diet-induced obesity than RYGB. These findings suggest that bile acids may be a major signal leading to amelioration of obesity and cure of diabetes after RYGB. This proposal will examine the molecular mechanisms of how bile acid metabolism/kinetics and signaling are altered by biliary diversion to produce more effective and sustained weight loss and resistance to diet- induced obesity compared to RYGB. This work may identify new anti-diabetes and anti-obesity drug targets, but more importantly could identify simpler but more effective surgical treatments for obesity and diabetes.
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are growing health concerns worldwide. Gastric bypass surgery is the only effective treatment for obesity and the only potential cure for type 2 diabetes. Understanding the mechanism of how gastric bypass surgery works to treat and prevent these diseases could lead to better, safer, and more effective therapies for these diseases and is the overarching goal of the proposed research.

Mr. Jos. C.G. KENNEDY
has written a letter describing the tables which he has arranged for the use of the census-takers. The questions which will be asked of manufacturers are set forth as follows:
The schedule which, in conformity of law, has been prepared as a record of the operations of productive industry for the entire country for the year ending on the 1st day of June, 1860, embraces fourteen columns, with headings so arranged as to include the details of every variety of manufacture. The first column is designed to include the name of the corporation, company or individual producing articles to the value of $500 per annum." In the second column is to be recorded the name of the business, manufacture or product. The third column embraces the amount of "capital invested in real and personal estate in the business." The various raw materials used in each manufacture, by quantity, kind and value, are represented in columns four, five and six. The seventh column describes the kind of motive power, machinery, structure or resource. If the motive power be steam, the quantity of power used is to be inserted; in furnaces the number of fires; and for fabrics the number of looms, spindles and card machines. In columns eight and nine are recorded the number of male and female hands employed; while their monthly wages respectively are set down in columns ten and eleven; while in columns twelve, thirteen and fourteen are entered the quantities, kinds, and values of all kinds of manufactured articles.

Tombides played his early football in Perth and Hong Kong before joining West Ham as a 15-year-old. louis vuitton lederjacke RIYADH: A foreigner has died after she contracted Mers in the Saudi capital, the health ministry said on announced on Friday, bringing the nationwide death toll to 73. The 55-year-old woman, whose nationality was not disclosed, was suffering from chronic illnesses, a statement said. The health ministry said five other people living in Riyadh were infected with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, two of them foreigners. Late on Thursday, the ministry reported the death of a 70-year-old Saudi woman in the western city of Jeddah where the virus has spread in recent weeks. It reported six other infections in Jeddah, among them an expat health worker, bringing to 218 the number of Mers infections in the worst-hit country. Panic over the spread of Mers among medical staff in Jeddah this month forced the temporary closure of an emergency room at a major hospital, prompting Health Minister Abdullah Al Rabiah to visit the facility in a bid to calm the public. Local media reported on Wednesday at least four doctors at Jeddah s King Fahd hospital have resigned after refusing to treat patients affected by Mers, apparently out of fear of catching the virus. The Mers virus was initially concentrated in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia but has now spread across other areas. The World Health Organisation said on Thursday it had been told of 243 laboratory-confirmed cases of Mers infection worldwide, of which 93 have proved fatal. Malaysia announced the first Mers death on Sunday in the country of a man who had developed a fever, cough and breathing difficulties after returning from a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia s Holy City of Makkah on March 29. The case prompted Malaysian authorities to quarantine 64 people in the dead man s village. Yemen reported its first case of Mers on Sunday in a further spread of the deadly strain in the Middle East.The Mers virus is considered a deadlier but less-transmissible cousin of the Sars virus that erupted in Asia in 2003 and infected 8,273 people, nine per cent of whom died. Experts are still struggling to understand Mers, for which there is no known vaccine. A recent study said the virus has been extraordinarily common in camels for at least 20 years, and may have been passed directly from the animals to humans.

My favorite polish of this week - Flakes
I took advantage of the summer
discounts at Sephora store and bought a nail polish that I wanted for a long
time, Purple Jewelry. For this manicure I used for the base the polish called Wicked
from Avon and I applied the top coat mention above - Sephora. I'm so happy with
the result that I don't want to clean it off from my nails. How do you like it?
Do you have some special top coats like this? Which are those?
Am profitat de reducerile
de vara la Sephora si am cumparat o oja pe care o doream de multa vreme, Purple
Jewelry. La baza acestei manichiuri am folosit oja Wicked de la Avon si am
aplicat peste ea top coutul Sephora sus amintit. Sunt innebunit dupa efectul
obtinut, pur si simplu nu mai doresc sa il sterg de pe unghii. Voua cum va
place? Aveti si voi top coaturi speciale? Care sunt acelea?
