Shit bitch mother fucker

yea so I broke a nail.

UGH.  This weekend we had to put in a wooden floor in our dumb ass condo for the new tenant.  I thought I avoided the whole nail breaking scenario by skipping participation in the carpet removal step.  WRONG!

I wore Color Clubs Wild at Heart ... one of my favorites!

Mmmmm purple holo :D

Granted my nails were getting pretty long, so a slight trim would have been a smart idea.

However, as always, taking down length hurts ... my ego.

 

But you know what hurts more? Ripping a nail off past the quick.  F-ing OUCH. Okay so this shit really hurt.  Do you see how low that skank ripped off.  As always I went into panic mode and shortened the rest before I took this picture.

So what the hell was I doing? I was removing a nail from cement using a crow bar.

Oh and the color on my pinky doesn't match the rest.  That's another story for another time.

I guess you'll be seeing a lot of swatches from the left hand from now on. 

Isn't this iphone pic really good quality?

So I did end up shortening only the left hand a bit. The lengths of the nails are not all even, but I just couldn't take them down any further.

2-3 weeks couldn't pass fast enough, but that ring finger does look kinda cute.

Ahhh yes as promised another adventure from happy hour ...

This story involves less story and more arm flailing.  So if you like to see carnage read on browse the pictures.

That very nice Revlon mani you saw in the last post (found here) was viciously ruined weeks ago.

The night started out well and good.

The BEFORE picture.
Sorry for such a crappy pic. Who would have thought this would have been the ONLY before pic.

And the AFTER picture
... the ring finger people, look at the ring finger.  I actually didn't realize how uneven I filed them altogether.  So in reality maybe it was a sign that I needed to even them up woman!

There was no fixing this one like I normally do with Shellac.

So I grabbed my favorite nail file and went to town.

UGH SO SHORT.

Damn, now the others look weird.  They too got a trim.

Darn it I'm back to square one like I was a few weeks back!

*note to self ... less flailing lol

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
