Dear Stacy, 

I am a doctor of chemistry, so my experience of french manicures is limited to the female students of my lower level courses (who, coincidentally, tell me that a good french manicure will last at least five months is manual labour is arrested and the fingertips dipped daily in H2SO4). 

However, the yogurt problem I can deal with. The other day, after hearing you shout, "I need lines! I need borders and lines! I need lines of seperation!" I realized that the problem lies not in the yogurt but in your taste buds. 

Consider the following rhyme:

"Old Abram Brown is dead and gone;
You'll never see him more. 
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4." 

Dip your fingers in it, but don't drink it. 

Yogurt is for the weak-stomached. Avoid it. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Ward
