Q: First, wash your hands. Then, dip a cotton ball in non-acetone nail polish remover and use it to clean each nail. Alternatively, spray a dehydrator spray on your nails. If you skip this step, the dirt and oil on your nails may prevent the polish and glue from sticking. Base coat is a protective layer that’s often used beneath nail polish to extend the life of a manicure. It seals your nail, so the natural oils produced by your fingernails won’t interfere with the glue’s ability to hold your fake nail in place.  Base coat may be clear, or it may be a pale opaque color like white, cream, or blush. Since you don’t want the base coat to dry, it’s best to work on 1 nail at a time. Use a clean nail polish brush or small craft paintbrush to coat your nail in a layer of white school glue. You should apply enough glue to cover your nail generously, but not so much that it starts to run off the sides of your nail. It may be helpful to pour the glue into a small dish first, like a saucer or a small bowl. However, if you’d like, you can apply it straight from the bottle, then brush it out into an even coat. Once you’ve applied all of the nails, give the glue about 5 minutes to fully cure. Try to avoid hitting your nails against anything, don’t pull on them, and try not to get them wet while the glue is drying. Your nails should last for about a day.
A: Wipe each nail with nail polish remover. Paint one nail with a base coat made for nails. Apply a coat of white glue before the base coat dries. Allow your nails to dry for about 5 minutes.

Article: Prune your rose bush as soon as the weather starts to warm up—usually right after the last frost so that your rose bush is not damaged by the cold. During this time, the buds should start to swell.  You can determine the expected last frost date by using the Old Farmer's Almanac website. Input your zip code into the field at https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates. Check the rose bush for signs of new leaf growth and if the buds are starting to grow red in color. For most people, this means pruning in the early spring. Pruning dead and unnecessary branches will allow the center of your rose bush to grow healthier. Rub the shears with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol to sterilize them before you start pruning. Cleaning and sterilizing your rose bush will prevent it from getting diseased. Make sure that your shears are sharp or you could cause damage to the bush. Make your cuts right above an outward facing bud, or a thorn that is facing away from the center of the plant. Avoid cutting in a straight line. Cutting at a 45-degree angle will help the cane heal quicker and prevent water from pooling on the cut. Cut off the all the dead and diseased looking canes in your rose bush, because it can spread to the rest of your plant. Cut dead or diseased branches down to the crown of the bush. Diseased branches will often have spots or look withered or dying.  You can tell that a cane is dead or diseased if it has dead leaves and is “woody,” characterized by a dried and brown appearance. Dead branches will be brown, rather than green in the center when you cut them. Prune canes that are crossing or branches that are growing outward. Pruning the canes surrounding the center of the plant allows for better exposure to the sun. A healthy, fully grown rose bush typically has 4-7 healthy, vertically growing canes. Cut off the top portion of growth during the early spring. This will allow your rose bush to grow and bloom new flowers during the new blooming season. Cut off all the branches towards the top of the bush so that the bush itself is only 18 inches (46 cm) high.
