I was just laying here, waiting for the migraine that's been circling overhead to finally land so I can suffer and get it over with. I felt it coming on a little over an hour ago, but I was in denial. Haha, my stupid ass.
Anyway, I was perusing the Facebook and I stumbled upon a "fashion/beauty" blog, which is no great feat since people friggin' LOVE taking pics of themselves and posting them on social media. Old girl's hair, makeup, and accessories were on point, so why did her nails look like she lets dogs chew them? That just irks me. Maybe it's a generational thing. My mom,and grandma would call me out if my nails were short and raggedy or if my polish got janky. "It's not ladylike," they said. Nowadays, I see a lot of young girls/women with what can best be called "deconstructed manicures". I guess I'm old fashioned (and a little anal), but a chip, smudge, or even an air bubble in my polish makes me want to flip a table. I got a crystal gel manicure for my class reunion a couple of weeks ago, and its best days are long behind it. Gel polish has to be soaked off. Mine is growing away from my cuticles and it's starting to gradually (with a little assistance from yours truly) peel off. I tried to squeeze myself in at the salon yesterday evening to get them redone, but it was almost closing time. The nail tech told me to come back Sunday, but I have 2 church services today. There's a 2 hour break between them which would leave me enough time to get my nails done after the first service. I hate that I'm going to church with raggedy nails, but the Lord knows my heart. Hopefully I can get them done before I sub again though. It just looks unprofessional.
