The only, and I mean ONLY thing between me and consistently manicured nails is money. M O N E Y. Because, how hard is it to walk in to a nail salon, sit in a cushy, vibrating padded chair zoning out on old issues of InStyle while someone pampers your feet? The only possible negative part of the entire experience is the effort I put forth in making sure I don’t end up in the the pervy old Vietnamese guy’s chair. Well, that and wondering what shit is being talked about me while the female manicurists jabber loudly and laugh while looking right at me (they even pointed once). Did I tip enough last time? Are my weak nails that pitiful? How can I make more money so I can have my nails done at a real spa where the clientele aren’t mocked in a foreign language??
But I digress. So all it takes is $100 a month to accomplish this goal. Unfortunately, I do not have the extra 100 beans right now, trying to start a new biz has been tough on the beauty budget. Until then, I will try to do a better than half-ass job on myself. Although having nice nails is a frivolous goal to have, one just doesn’t look polished without them.
