I'm not sure why, but painting my nails always makes me think of this book. Maybe because when we were little nail polish wasn't so much "nail" polish as "finger" polish. Or "all over" polish.
I found this really cool nail polish the other day.
How cool is that? Looks like I had it professionally done and/or it took me a really really long time, right? Good thing it didn't!
I was at this little hair product supply place near my work that has OPI nail polish among other things. I'd had a customer come in this week wearing this adorable blue color and when I asked her what color it was, she knew it was OPI and called "Susie does Feng Shui" so I was at the store to find it. I was at the counter getting ready to check out when I saw this nail polish:
The purple one, not the clear one. It was by a sign advertising it. I told the check girl, "No way that works that well." The girl was like, "No! It really does and it's really easy!" so she showed me, and I was sold. The ticket price was a bit steep as the polish was $10 and then the design magnet was $10 as well. But it was super easy to do!
You paint the polish on and then hold the magnet over it for ten to twelve seconds. It takes a nail or three to get the hang of it -- like how close to hold the magnet and how long to hold the magnet. Hold it for fifteen to twenty seconds and the nail polish will rise far enough to stick to it. Ooops. It was fun though and I got lots of compliments.
China Glaze polish apparently holds up as well as OPI does at work. Only one nail chipped.
Well, two, but the second wasn't work-related. I bashed my hand on my car door going to work, so that doesn't count.
Super cool. I love when these gimmicky things actually work as advertised. Because let's face it, my patience is slim to none, so if it takes a long time to get it to do that, or if it's not actually super easy to do, I'm not gonna do it.
Hope you can visit soon so I can do your nails!
Ciao,
