Boozing Breaks Nails

It seems more often than not Happy Hour ends in a ruined mani.  Here is an example:

Color Club - Magic Attraction

I love this glitter.  Yea I know, I can't believe those words are leaving my mouth, but it has some holo like glitter in there that is definitely worth the pain and extra (and I mean extra) topcoat.


How pretty!
I finally got it smooth after putting on topcoat once a day for 3 days straight.












So all is going well during happy hour, I even got a compliment on the mani :D yay!
On the train ride home however I'm starring off into to space, contimplating how I can swipe the fries from the toddler next to me without her mom noticing, when I glance down and see ....


Okay not too bad.  I was bummed, but it's doable till I got home.  However, this prompted me to look at the rest of my hands.
WTF.  Half my thumb was missing, LOL!

I totally just stuck my thumb in my palm.


Then when I finally get home this happened! LOL

The amusing part was, I found the other half on my carpet.  Oh man! bahahaha ... Thank god I was home.

Serendipitously , how ever the pointer finger incident happened, it caused a split that prompted the Nail Fix series (which can be found here.)




I have more stories like this, so stay tuned for the carnage. :D

  5. As soon as I read your title I thought: Yes. Yes, it does. LOL I think that's also a side effect of multiple coats of TC. Either way, it *was* pretty.

  7. Magic Attraction is such a pretty glitter! Grrr, SV - multiple layers make glitter so smooth yet so peel-able. At least it came *after* the boozing ;)

  16. You know, this is the worst thing ever. How embarassing, right? I mean you're working away, talking to people and then BAM, you notice that you're missing polish.

    I feel your pain my friend
