Last night before I went to bed I caught an awful sight–my un-manicured ‘paws’. I cringed, I didn’t dare look at my toes, if my hands looked like this bad the toes might have melted my eyeballs. Don’t get me wrong even though I haven’t been to a nail salon in a month, I was still breaking out the nail file, it’s just that they looked so haggard and neglected. I live out in the country now so a nail salon is a thing of the past unless I want to drive the 30 minutes to the big city, which I don’t, heck I don’t even know how much a manicure or pedicure would cost here. In Los Angeles you couldn’t walk out your front door without running into 30 mani/pedi salons for less than a cup of coffee (supply + demand folks). I did go to Target and get a French manicure kit, uhm, for someone that has never painted their own nails before it’s the equivalent of getting your toddler to do an Iron man race, not going to be a success. I read that Sherry from YHL has given up on nail polish and is going au naturalle. I think I need it, but that could be my former self talking, I’m trying to get her to keep it down but she’s been persistent; yes, she even got me to cut my own bags this morning (prior to coffee) by watching 14,000 You Tube videos, the result? Do you see a photo of my new bangs on this blog? Okay, we can agree that it may not have been my smartest DIY. For the record I didn’t go as short as some hair stylists have in the past. I erred on the long side, it just seems I also erred on the crooked side. I have crooked hair and scraggly paws, oh dear…
P.S. This new Essie color looks like it would be perf for summer, not?
