Ive been feeling rather spoiled and trying to keep perspective lately but I swear Ive been feeling rather bitc@&.
-I had a serious freak out when I showed up for my spa appointment and my facialist was not scheduled for me. I am obsessed with her and felt like the chick who I ended up with sucked and now I have a bitter feeling.
-I can't decide if it's time to transition to "fall" nail polish because its so damn hot out still. I am acting like this is some sort of dilemma. Choices are Essie "Poor Little Rich Girl" or Essie "Fiji" which is my go to polish.
-I complain that I don't have time to exercise or eat right but I'm really just lazy.
I'm also struggling with fall nail polish. My winter "red' is Essie's "Wicked" and I need a darker red for fall. Right now I do a bright red. Ugh, big issues.
ETA: I just remembered the Bordeaux is my fall go-to red. Pfew! Crisis averted!
Right! Im hoping my nails ladies can counsel me tonight......

Are they Asian? My ladies always tell it to me straight, albeit in broken English. They love to hear about my dating life!
Yes, mine love me too and freak out when I come in, wanting to hear all about my life. They seriously meet me in the parking lot and grab purse and telling me Im so pretty. I cant lie I eat it up sometimes but sometimes I just want to be quiet and they do love to chatter. One also likes to sign along with the radio which is very awkward and one male one always tells me I am "sexy" which I find hilarious.
I also probably bore them as I really dont date and had a BF until about a month ago.....I shouldnt have quit online dating so I would have stories for them...

I am still going to wear my bright red nail polish all year round. I consider it my signature color rather than go with the seasons.

Bahaha! Mine pet my hair and give me hugs but other than that they don't chat too much. They always have the Food Network on though and I always leave hungry!
Since I get red, I always have them cut and file my nails short and before I can say it they're always like, "No long nails, MCC no whore. Whores have long red nails, we know, MCC, we know!"
I guess that makes me a whore? I wear mine long and bright red!

Violin means super short nails, like not even to the tips of my fingers. I miss my pretty long nails, but I love my violin more. Yet I am still envious of all your pretty.nails.

Not at all! I said it once as a joke and they say it every time. I just hate having super long nails. They're still longer, like they hang over my fingers a bit. I don't think you're a whore.

That's why I gave up piano when I was younger. My teacher forced me to cut my nails, because the clacking on the keys was bad. Screw that. I love my long natural nails. :-)
Ok, so I'm jealous of you girls that can sport red nail polish regularly. Since I'm always in gloves at work and washing my hands a million times a day, my manicures last like 2 days. I usually stick to lighter colors like ballet slippers to camouflage the chips. With dark polish it's looks horrendously crack whorish if it chips off... Ugh. I have to save it for Friday manicures only lol.

Dude you have a borderline sexual relationship with that instrument. You talk about it like its your boyfriend sometimes. Paint your short nails if you want them pretty. Really.
LOL! I know I'm kind of crazy about it, but I swear I don't sleep with it. I just stroke it for an hour~ish a night.
I actually painted my nails a few weeks ago and completely mangled them the next day doing yard work. I have pretty much given up on my finger nails. My pedicure is super cute though.

maybe try shellac? they last around 3 weeks for me
i hate colors on my nails so i am boring and get french tip
Don't do it! Shellac totally wrecks your nails. Well let me clarify, the removal of it wrecks your nails.
I usually paint my nails a deep red or emerald. They are also super short. Mostly because of A. After I scratched him one time, I decided to keep them short until he is older.

I'm jealous of all y'alls nails. I'm a terrible nail biter and I hate it. I once stopped for 6 months and now I hate the way they look even more because I know how good they can look. Trying to tell myself I will be sporting an engagement ring in the near future and I want my nails to look nice!

I am too. I have also found that when they are painted, I am less likely to. Have you tried that?

I'm a terrible nail-biter, too. Painting them helps me stop, but I don't have the time to do it myself. And the one time I got a professional manicure, I passed out from the fumes/chemcials/whatever. :-\ Woke up on the floor covered in their soaking solution. Not fun.

Ha, nail polish is like a challenge for me. How fast can I get it off with my teeth. Awful. I just need to make the conscious decision to stop, I have before.

I'm on my 3rd shellac mani in a row and my nails are perfectly fine. Shellac is the best thing ever! I did the dirty dash with my first shellac mani and they held up really well!
