So, say a person was going to be on TV, working in her yard. She wants to do something with her nails... but what? They will need to be shortish, but would a color be interesting? She is not allowed to wear blue, as Fome Fepot is a sponsor and blue is the color of their dread rival, Schmowe's (this is true--the information sheet they gave us said no blue). So a pale green? A sparkly gold? These are what this person usually wears, but this person is usually in an office. She does not want to look oddly overdressed for yardwork, as this is not Green Acres and she will not be wearing a caftan.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

“Not dead yet!”
But dahling, a caftan would be oh, so stylish!
I think green. Go for that eco-glow look to your nails.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I hope your cousin doesn't have to wait, DJ. That's too scary. IOyouN, I'm using those photos of your mom's gorgeous house as a blueprint for my own pitiful attempts at landscaping.
sumi, eek. job~ma.
Scrappy, I'm looking forward to your tale of being on tv! I say go with the green nails.
I am caught up with work. Huh. This is unsettling. I don't know what to do with my time when I don't have a crashing deadline.

I would stay away from dark colors, if it chips while gardening, you don't want it to be obvious.

PURPLE! But Vortex makes a valid point.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Caught up in time to give the rec that I just got for a wedding next month - pale pink or peach, because for a shot from any sort of distance it'll make your fingers look longer, or if you'd rather be quirkier with color, at least don't match what you're wearing too closely because for a shot from any sort of distance your nails will blend into your clothes and your fingers will look extra short-and-stubby.

Of course, caught up in time to go home. Night, All!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'd feel silly in anything visible while doing yard work. I suppose I'd file and put on something clear for the sake of cameras.

You want at least a pink so the dirt under your nails doesn't show.
