So..are you going to own it and rock sandals or avoid them this summer?

Ha! I painted over mine to "pretend" it was there when I wore sandals. Own it!

It oddly blends with my black sparkly nail polish (zoya storm, every runner should own it), so im rocking sandals all summer!

What happens next? Lol it slowly grows back pushing out the black nub?

Yeah, it really does take a while to get back to normal. I lost one a year and half ago and I can still tell the difference between it and others. It's just fits differently.

Yea...I lost my first two in high school [not much of a badge back then, especially now knowing it could have been prevented with proper shoes] and it has never been normal again, always a little lumpier than the others. Of course, I re-lost it a few times since then, but even in that 5 year gap of "running is stupid" it was never normal.

I never paint my toenails...and all other parts of my feet are pretty darn gross so I almost never rock sandals. I'm afraid of a pedicure, I need those callouses!

I think this is worthy of a congrats? lol. Like an initiation or something. Mine do this super weird thing where they get thick and raised and disgusting, but they don't actually fall off until there is a new nail underneath. So I have a double-layered toenail for awhile. Super sexy!

Haha! I've never lost a toenail from running strangely enough
