Why Didn’t I Think of That? A Mani-Saving Sponge

It never fails. I’ll spend two hours primping and polishing my nails (I slow down when I use my left hand) and the next day, after washing a sink-full of dirty dishes, I’m already chipping. I’ve tried all of the topcoats and chip-proof polishes I could get my paws on, to no avail. I just got wind of this new dishwashing sponge, the Scotch-Brite Ultra NailSaver Absorbent Scrub Sponge ($2), which will be popping up in grocery stores next week. The nifty sponge comes with groves in the sides where your nails rest safely instead of scratching up against the cast iron pot you’re cleaning. Love it!
