Some time ago I noted how nice so many women I know look. They look great all the time. I had a conversation with Dear One on the subject. I asked him if he would like me to be a little more high maintenance. He looked at me and smiled his sweet smile. SO…I decided to be a high maintenance wife. Well, no, that is not true. I thought I would try to be a little something different.
So I went to a nail salon. The woman put gel nails on. After the third nail she started telling me how much work it was going to take to get the gel off when it started chipping Yikes! I had no knowledge so I had not planned on that! I began thinking that I might wish for some sort of skin treatment so I could do make-up! Can’t do it since my skin is a total mess. I was a Speech and Dramatic Arts major in college. The semester we had to take a stage make up class was a disaster. My face hurt in multiple ways and the poor people on the other side of my skin were scared. Yes, it was that bad…so I never try all that fancy expensive stuff. I wash my face and call it good. Nails, now, I thought maybe this would be a thing.
The nails turned out very pretty. For $40 I thought they looked pretty good. So smooth and shiny and rosy! I got used to them and actually liked them.
Ten days later I really HAD to wash dishes. Within fifteen minutes after doing the dishes I noticed the gel was lifting off my left thumb. What was that about?!!!
You know how you have a small injury which scans over and eventually you touch the spot inadvertently and then you start scratching and picking at it? Well, guess what happened? Yep, an hour later $40 worth of gel nail polish was down the drain.
Dear One kindly told me I did not need to do it again. On his account…
So much for this high maintenance wife. I will stick with yarn. And maybe a 24” Kromski Harp Rigid Heddle Loom if anyone knows of one up for grabs…!
Now back to normal…
I have done my nails a few times. Definitely çan't have them long. (Can't stand that weight difference)
ReplyDeleteI guess I would say "if you weren't born with fake nails, don't wear 'em
Country girls don't get their nails done unless they are going on vacation. When are we going out to see Mary?
ReplyDeleteI only do nails myself. Not all that often I might add. I've learned to wear rubber gloves when my hands are entering water and cleaners.
