paint my fingernails

I painted my own fingernails last Tuesday night, with the aid of a glass of red wine and a small bottle of pale pink nailpolish.

Over the ensuing days, I slowly picked it off my fingernails in lieu of biting them – hey, I found an entirely new way to wreck my fingernails!

So. Once it was all gone, I looked carefully at my nails, and then sacrificed $18 to get a professional manicure this afternoon.

For the first time in my life, I think my fingers look pretty.
