The invention relates to compositions for removing nail polish including at least about 20% by weight of a C2-C3 monoalcohol, at least about 10% by weight of glycerin, and a diester of a dicarboxylic acid. The compositions optionally include water. The water, if present, is present in a concentration by weight that is less than the concentration by weight of glycerin. If the concentration of glycerin is from 30% to 60% by weight, then the concentration of C2-C3 monoalcohol is at least about 30% by weight.

The invention relates to compositions for removing nail polish comprising a C2-C3 monoalcohol, glycerin, and propylene carbonate, wherein the glycerin and propylene carbonate are present in a glycerin to propylene carbonate ratio by weight of at least 1:3 and the concentration by weight of ethanol is at least about 16%. Methods of removing nail polish and moisturizing the hands are also provided.

A porous sintered multicomponent applicator nib and methods of making and using these nibs. The porous nibs are made from sintered plastic particles. These nibs are used with liquid applicators devices, medical devices, writing tools or cosmetic applicators to apply liquids containing high solids or pigments to surfaces such as metal, paper, skin, hair, tissue or a wound.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a row-level security. One of the methods includes receiving a request for one or more objects. The method includes determining that a type of the one or more requested objects is associated with an object representative of instance level security. The method includes determining access is authorized to at least some of the one or more objects. Determining access includes obtaining a first access statement associated with the type of the one or more objects, obtaining a second access statement associated with the object representative of instance level security, combining at least the first access statement and the second access statement into a third access statement, and obtaining one or more objects using the third access statement. The method also includes providing the authorized subset of objects to the user.

Described herein are coating compositions that can be applied to a number of different substrates. The coating compositions can be used as decorative or protective layers across a range of applications and formulations such as, for example, cosmetics. In one aspect, the coating composition includes a solvent, one or more polymers, and optional additives for enhancing or modifying the properties of the coating composition such as, for example, mechanical properties, rheological properties, appearance, and environmental sensitivity. When applied to the substrate, the coating composition forms a polymer film as the solvent present in the coating composition evaporates. The coating compositions may be easily removed from the substrate with the use of a solvent or a removal solution that reacts or mechanically weakens the film.
