After about three weeks my nail situation was really starting to get out of hand (lol), so I scheduled an appointment last weekend to get a fresh new set. This time, I just chose a French mani with red tips in lieu of the usual white ones and requested for crystals, because I need my bling. At least with a nude base, the re-growth won’t look as jarring this time.
These were my nails from my previous set. I was just itching to get back to playing my instruments, so I cut the nails on my fingering hand about one week after getting them done. #stringplayerproblems
I got soft gel extensions, and three days later the tip of the thumbnail extension split, causing the gel polish to lift as well. I recall once watching my old nail tech quite cleverly peel apart the layers of a 2-ply tissue cutout in an almost surgical manner and cure one ply over a chip in my nail. I was doubtful at first, but if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have known after she was done that there was a chip in the nail and that tissue paper had been used as reinforcement. I figured my current nail tech would be able to achieve similar results with a mere hairline crack, but when I returned, she argued that it wouldn’t work with soft gels. I’m not a nail expert, so I didn’t argue and just let her clip off the cracked part of the nail feeling mildly disappointed that I’d lose a bit of length on the affected nail.
What have I been up to lately? Not much, because I haven’t been out a lot. I watched The Sheep Detectives. It was quite a late showing, so aside from myself there was only one family in the theatre. I was glad for that, because by the end of it there were tears full on streaming down my face. I decided to sit there and wait for them to leave before wiping my face, haha. I’ve been thinking of watching Toy Story 5 (?), but I haven’t found time just yet.
Look at these cute ceramic bunnies at the local gardening supplies store. If you see me going in with a normal-sized bag and then leaving with a giant, heavy, bulging bag, no you didn’t. (in the 0.00001% chance that the store somehow sees this…I’m joking)
