What happened to spring?
The first week of vacation was wonderful! Warm and sunny days. This week has been chilly, but apparently not cool enough to turn to the heat on in the building.
So lately I've been looking at these beauty sites that talk about the new trends with fingernails. I have never been big on doing my own nails. My mother had these long luxurious fingers that she manicured and painted herself. I have these short stubby fingers that I don't like to do myself. When I worked in offices I would get my nails done in a nail shop about every 2 weeks. I had let that slip since I have been working this job and my nails have been downright embarrassing at times. I've started going to the nail shop again, but I also need to be able to care for my fingers at home between visits.
Target had Essie Nail polishes on sale last week and I picked up two colors and a top coat. My polishes have actually been lasting a while. The time before last I had a pretty pink and this time I got OPI bubble bath layered with pink sparkles. I love the way it covers up any chips.
So, now it is starting to go again and I am debating if I am going back to the shop, just for a manicure or if I will do them myself. Part of my problem is that my cuticles are awful. I don't know if it is because I used to bite my nails as a kid, but I need to find (or make) a good cuticle oil. I am thinking about grapeseed oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, and vitamin E.
I better get back to writing. I only have a few days left of vacation and I need to go in to do some work before the craziness ensues. At least it will only be a 4 day week going back. Then it will just be a couple of months until I am on vacation again! Hope to get some stamps in that passport book!
