I will challenge that rule by doing the exact opposite. I walk out of the house feeling all confident, like, "yes! I'm not bound by silly rules. I can do whatever I want to do!"
Today was one of those days! I had just bought this new medium pink nail polish. It goes on fast and it dries fast. A perfect combination! So this morning I really wanted to try it out, but I never wear colored nail polish to work; they're either bare, clear coat or French tip. Another one of my ridiculous rules! So I painted right over the French tips with medium pink. The all-in-one form of the nail stick made the application quick (just like I knew it would) and it also dried quick (just like the label said). As I walked down the steps into the garage I could hear the song, "I'm coming out, whoa...
Yes, once again not bound by ridiculous rules.
After being at work for about 5 minutes I remember why I had created that "silly" rule. Medium pink lines all over the papers I had barely touched. How does this happen? I spent my entire day today barely touching the edge of pages in fear that I would have to spend the next day reprinting every item!
As soon as I got home I removed the medium pink nail polish and the new nail stick will be inherited by one of my four darling daughters!
Instead of going back to colorless nails, I decided to try the other item I had purchased...stick on nail polish! I know it sounds ridiculous but they are supposed to stay on for 10 days and there is no down-time for drying!
There are 15 nails in the box and the box was only $2.00. Sounds like a good bargain. That would be $4.00 for 30 days of nails, right? (I say, "right?" here, because that isn't really right at all. There are many different sizes within these 15 and the goal is to match 10 of them to the same size as your 10 fingers. It's supposed to be one size fits all, but I don't really think that is possible!) The nails came in 2 colors, shiny goldish and hot pink. Goldish seemed a little more flexible, so I went with the gold.
It seems crazy, but one of the best things I could see with this idea was that there would be no awkward attempt at painting my right hand. Just stick them on and go...
The time that it took me to get all the nails on, my painted nails could have been so dry I could dig for my keys in my purse :)
Another color might have been better (if its available). Dustin told me they looked like superhero nails...I don't think he meant that as a compliment :)
Of course, if they really stay on for 10 days, that will be pretty super!
My guess is that I will wake up in the morning with one stuck in my hair, one in the blankets, one on my pillow, one in my mouth and if I'm lucky the other 6 will be right in place!
