Yeah, aside from the wearing and chips on the edges, I'm not happy with the amount of grow-out after one week.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

My zombie manicure is showing some wear and chips at the tips. But one of the bonuses to having a manicure that looks like blood spatter is that I can dab more polish on, and it will look just fine.

I need to see if I can buy the red I have on, because they did it at the place last weekend, and I'm pretty sure it's my new One True Red. OPI Malaga Wine.

I've actually started remembering to bring my own with me to mani/pedis. It's so nice to be able to do tiny touch ups
