So i caved back around Valentine's Day and got my nails done again. I'm happy - and will be until i'm tired of them and remove them to expose thin, bendy, brittle nails. ah well. whatevs.
I did get really WILD and instead of the standard french manicure with white tips, i've had black glitter, red & black glitter and now purple/multi-colored glitter. i feel so rebellious. pfft!
So, i went to get a fill last weekend and wasn't going to get a pedi. Well, at the last minute, i decided i should, and asked my nail girl if my usual toenail girl, Mary, could do it later. She said of course, blah blah.
Well, a few minutes later i remembered that i hadn't shaved my legs in a few days. I told the girl maybe i shouldn't do the pedi that day, and she insisted Mary wouldn't mind. But i super mind-ed. So after a little discussion, we stopped my fill mid-way thru. My nail girl went to take a long overdue lunch break, and I ran around the corner to the drugstore to buy a razor. She knew my plans, so when i got back and headed for the bathroom, she said "Whatever you do, don't get your nails wet!"
Great. So other than running the razor itself under some warm water, i dry-shaved my legs in about 15 seconds. The burn started while my fingernails were still being finished. By the time i started the pedi and stuck my feet and legs into the super hot water, i was in agony. It took a freaking week to recover!!!!
What is the hanging deal with razor burn!!!???!!! And BTW, don't EVER use a "Noxema" brand disposable razor. EVER. i hacked my legs to bits.
