Going green

Once more I avoided tackling my to do list because it seems so tough to action any of it after a long day at work. I think I am getting too good at diversion tactics and this time it all started when I found myself in the nail polish aisle at Rexall. They didn't have the Essie nail polish colours that I have had my eye on for a little while. Instead, I settled for a Sally Hansen colour, that of mint sorbet. I had no idea when I selected this colour to purchase that a few short hours later it would end up on my fingers rather than my toes. Nail polish and my fingernails have never been friends, not even remotely close, but times seem to have changed. I was only meaning to see the exact colour I had purchased by painting my thumb then removing it. However, before I knew it all ten digits were painted with two shiny coats and I had to admit that I liked the result. For some reason I didn't stop there, I had to get all creative with a second colour from my existing collection. Green was the colour of the night with the second one a deeper metallic shade courtesy of Rimmel's green with envy. I painted the tips of my fingers freehand, hence the photo of my right hand, which looked better than my left hand due to being left-handed. What followed were many minutes of daintiness as I allowed my nails to dry. I was trying to avoid any tasks that would lead to chips, which used to happen quickly after I had finished. Hence, why I had resigned myself to the ease of toenail painting only. Unfortunately, I didn't quite master the task at hand and a few touch-ups were required, yet in the light of day they looked pretty polished.
