[Quiet Man Cometh]

I think I don't paint my nails much because I don't like using nailpolish remover. I let my nails grow long and they're pretty touch so I don't like to do anything to make them weaker or flimsy.

When I did paint them more often I had a few bottles of nailpolish, my favourite being one metallic glittery blue and one dark glitter purple. I got annoyed though because they barely had any of the glitter and shine in them when I put them on and I put on at least 5 coats before I was happy with them. If I knew more about the process I might have gotten a solid blue to put underneath and saved myself the trouble.

One of my sisters is a make-up artist and does lovely things with just basic nailpolish. Easy too, for the most part. She had watermelon nails the last time I went to see her, or little flowers that she paints with toothpicks. One style she likes is the one that the Buffy (series) character Drusilla uses; dark blue with a white stripe at the tip.

This all reminds me that I need to deal with my nails now. Sigh. They need to be chopped but can't do it since I want them for my sister's (different sister) wedding in two weeks. Apparently glue works as good nail protection when they are starting to look a little shabby.
