One of the items on my Goal List this week was to give myself a pedicure. Abby had recently requested purple nail polish, and I had visions of purple nails with spider webs and big black spiders. Scary, huh?
Since it is rather difficult to reach one's toes with the amount of weight that I still need to lose, I decided to try out my design on my left thumb nail. I liked the color, the spider web was a little wonky, but taking into consideration the crummy brush I had available, it turned out OK.
The spider, on the other hand, looked like a big fat tick.
I took it all off and started again.
No spiders for the toes!
I proceeded to try out the whole process on my toes. Turns out, third time's a charm on the old toenails. After much complaining and polish removal, I had what I thought was a credible spider web pedicure.
I'll let you be the judge of that!
In the interest of keeping it real here, take a look at this picture of my toes. Apparently I am not only hampered by being too chubby to reach my toes, my eyes are so bad that I couldn't tell how messy the polish was until I looked at the picture.
Hopefully, no one looks that closely at my toes, 'cause I'm leaving them like this till Halloween!
Now, that's really scary stuff!
In one of my previous careers, I was a Nail Tech. I really just wanted to do nail art. I love painting anything and teeny tiny art on nails was a fun challenge. But that was 11 years ago, before Abby was born. Now my nails are horrible looking. I don't bother even polishing them, much less painting anything cute on them.
But..... I saw the cutest Easter Bunny nails over at Eighteen25 and of course I had to talk the girls into a bunny manicure.
That wasn't too hard to do.
Just a few minutes later, we had the cutest nails ever!
How cute is that?
