um, that would be 64 ounces (which is only half a gallon). If you want
dollars, you have to multiply times two (to get a full gallon), then times
the aforementioned "five bucks." IOW, nailpolish is about $640/gallon,
given your assumptions, which seem as faulty as your math.

The real problem is this...Sherwin Williams doesn't have itsy-bitsy
brushes. They do however, have different finishes so if you want
matte nailpolish, this is your Holy Pail..er..Grail.
