I have tried my hand at melt and pour soap making, whats the best way to polish them prior to packing? I mean to get the clean shiny look, professional so to speak??

I've seen many people paint one nail black usually the middle or ring finger and the rest are naturl. Does this man anything? If so what? I don't think it means they are board or just ran out of nail polish so please dont write that. On my Soap one of the girls sometimes only has one nail painted but I think she just does it for fun...ANYWAYS THANKS!!!!!!!!!! =)

For brand new stainless steel cookware, if you run a kitchen towel or tissue over the edge or even the smooth surface, you can wipe off some gray color or charcoal color polish residue, you know what I'm talking about. Especially, at the edge, it is hard to clean them off completely. Don't know whether they are bad to your health. Anything that can clean them off completely and easily?
It seems, those polish residue is not like grease or oil, it is not hot soap water soluble.
