I have what I think of as boy nails right now. I just cut them and didn’t even file them. No polish and no cuticle work. L-a-z-y. Love, meg

Trying something new. I painted my thumb plum, and moved over to pale pink. I grabbed the bottle opener because I thought it showed the colors best. - meg

I tried layering pink over a coat of orange. It looks mostly pink with maybe a hint of orange undertone. Then sparkles on top. - Meg

Steel-her Heart by Revlon. I did a sloppy job painting. I do love the picture though. Yeah Hipstamatic. You still got it going on.

No More Waitie Katie from Butter. I chopped my nails short too. Hopefully this will help with the breakage. - Meg

I don’t know if it’s the cuticle remover stuff or the polish remover or what. My nails have never been so dry and brittle. I just broke another one getting ready this morning. That’s not just a chip, but a huge chunk of my nail that went with it. - Meg

White polish that looks like glue. That’s what happened when I painted my nails with Revlon Powder Puff. I ended up covering it with Out the Door Nothern Lights, which made it sparkle a bit. I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep this on very long. Welp, you win some - you lose some. - Meg

The extra haul

Of course I didn’t need to go, but it was a lovely day out today.  I went to Sally Beauty Supply to check out the nail stuff.  It was fun to see all the nail art supplies and I picked up a few things.  Only one I needed - maybe two if I really try hard to justify. 

Out The Door is my favorite quick dry.  The finish is great and works well for me.  I’m impatient.  The last bottle I had for years and it was getting gloppy.  I had to toss it and get a new one.  The orange sticks I wanted to use because I find the metal pushers can be a bit harsh sometimes.  And those two purchases I can kinda get away with justifying.  The other two, not at all. 

Northern Lights is Out The Door with a cool sparkle when you shake it.  Its awesome!  I mean, just in the bottle so far, but I can’t wait to try it.   And of course, I needed Naughty by Orly because… I’ll get back to you on that.  - Meg
