Aaand already fucked up my perfect manicure. 5 days in. Ah well. Now it is imperfect and will annoy me for another 2 weeks.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

I do not know how you go 3 weeks. I barely made it a week this last one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
sarameg, refresh my memory on if this is on natural nails or? Because if you are getting three weeks, I need to come there let you show me how.
Toes, I can get a month pretty easy and sometimes two until the nails get so long I could climb snowbanks or I take the polish off of one.
Fingernails? Not so much.
Though I really need to paint mine. Perhaps tonight. I just can't decide on a color.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, aside from the wearing and chips on the edges, I'm not happy with the amount of grow-out after one week.

Someone my parents know got an insurance broker to call me and he researched coverage options. Looks like if I can get the paperwork done and approve we can be saving $900+/month on insurance.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I was all jealous of you guys having nail color last a week. I just did (Nubar Venetian Glass Bronzo, with Diamont top coat), and that was the first time. Three or four days is more typical for my hand-intensive lifestyle.
Of course, I also bruised my fingertips the other night learning Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine." So I am not really expecting long-lasting polish. I have no color on today because I busted it up yesterday in the pool. And I perform Saturday, so I didn't want to be on Day Three onstage. So I will paint tomorrow, which means I have to decide what I'm going to wear Saturday so the color makes sense.
You guys will make a girl out of me yet.

But I gotta get offline and go rehearse. I had a half-productive, half-ridiculous day today. I am weary.

Woah! (And/or Whoa.)

Mine are fakes. I've been doing this for over a decade, I think I've probably internalized some behaviors that prevents destroying them. Also? My natural nails grow slooooooow. They get a little dinged up around the tips and my mouse-hand pinky nail gets shorter, but I can usually go 3 weeks before I gotta do new ones.
Unless, of course, I get stripper melting through a glove.
Toenails (which aren't fake) usually last a couple of weeks. They'd probably last longer but for swimming.
