Painting my nails

Some people can just leave their nails plain, but not me. I can't stand the plainness of it. I like having something to look at when I write or type. Its cool to see bright colors flash through your vision.

I paint my nails ever weekend or every other weekend. I try painting new things every time, but sometimes I don't know what to paint. A little before Christmas, I looked up some pictures on google for some new ideas. I got a set of 20 nail polishes. I've been trying to paint them consistently.

For the one act play, The Actors Nightmare, I had to have less vibrant nail polish on. I thought that it would be a good time to paint my nails with the set of gray nail polish that gets darker as it approaches the tip of the nail. It was dull for me, but apparently it was "sparkly," "not time period," and "blinding." I disagreed but obliged to the request for a French tip.

I kept my nails the plain French tip for two weeks, for the two performances of the play. As soon as I could, I painted my nails vibrant. I did a lime green zebra print and hot pink zebra print. I've been told that the color is radioactive. I'm okay with that. They're not plain anymore!

Some of the designs look like they're complicated to do, but if you have the right tools, and enough patience, it's not that bad. The set of nail polishes that I got for Christmas are the thin brushes meant to be used for details. It makes it easier to make these designs, even though they never turn out to be as good as the picture that I use to try and replicate on myself. Just saying.
