That's quite interesting... i have never gotten a demise that
quickly. It really is just fading completely isn't it? Hmm...
Did you exfoliate well prior to application? I find that if you don't
exfoliate, the design will fade faster as the skin was ready to
exfoliate anyways, and exfoliation stops for nobody!
Another thing, did you have you hands in bleachy things or harsh
cleansers prior to application? That could also cause early
exfoliation.

On a side note, my first succesful tea tree spiked design is showing
absolutely no signs of wear... If i hadn't used tea tree it would
have been all splotchy and grainy looking by now. I guess CCJ was
right, it stays terped down to the very last cell... i can't wait to
see the demise.
