No BITING!
So, I am a chronic nail-biter. It’s gross, I hate it, and haven’t ever been able to quit it. I got some fake nails for Louisa’s wedding (hilarious ghetto nails color coordinated with my bridesmaid outfit). Here they are, featuring: sandwich.
The nail lady said they’d last a week. So, a week passes and the damn things aren’t budging. AND my nails are growing out under there, so they’re extra weird looking. They’re annoying as hell and now even longer from my growth. WTF to do? I’m thinking “they’ll last a week” meant they’ll look good for a week then they’ll look like total shit and you won’t be able to do anything about it.
Finally, this weekend I started filing and clipping and yanking at them until they all started popping off. This took 2 days of bothered Brandi complaining and filing away.
So now, my nails are longer than they’ve been in a really really long time (since I couldn’t get to them to bite). But they’re like baby nails, all sharp and thin. So far I’ve been able to NOT bite them but they’re all marred and weak so it’s real hard. I’ve been filing when a sharp edge comes up and cleaning them out with a tool instead of my teeth. It’s SO gross, I KNOW!
So here they are, in all their glory. I put some of that shiny nail hardening stuff on ‘em.
That red stuff is still some of the polish from the fakeies and some of the acrylic is still on there. I’ll never do that again. They were fun while they lasted though.
