You big FAKER!

So, i've been itching to get my nails done. I used to get them done regularly. It was like, oh, between $35 and $40 a month for fills, and then of course i'd want to get pedicures while i was there. But I HATE when i have my nails done (with acrylics) and then like, my leg itches. i swear scratching never satisfies with those big thick fakes on. So i have to ask hubby or go find a comb. It's really lame. And then the underside of the nails get dirty and gunked up and i can never keep them as clean as i'd like...

And then i'm tired of the french mani (glitter or no) and decide i want purple or fuschia, but i WILL NOT paint bold or bright colors on long ol' nails. So then i start itchen' to ditch the nails, and i have to wait a month and a half for the crappy torn up bendy-weak acrylic aftermath real nails to grow out. Do i really want to commit to all this right now?

NO.

So, i revisted yesteryear, my childhood, one of my most fave things as a little girl - PRESS ON NAILS! Woot! They aren't made by "Lee" anymore, the ones i got are by "Kiss". But oh my god they're great! And my commitment is only for 7-10 days. As soon as i put them on i felt 10 times prettier. and i swear you just do things different when your hands look great with any kind of manicure. For example, you pick things up more gracefully. Like you're about to display them to the crowd on the Price is Right.

So, inevitably, in a few days i'll be tired of them and be ready to wear a short purple mani, and it'll be all good! If you want a quick lift of your spirits, or you haven't time to get a mani before the office xmas party, glue on some fakes! LOL! You'll be pleasantly surprised.

(ETA: Sorry. i don't know why my hand is such a weird color in this pic! Kinda creepy.)
