New Nails #17

I always wear nail varnish. There is never a time I'm not seen without it on... until last week. Coming back from Venice my last nails had chipped ridiculously beyond anything socially acceptable; we're talking the whole thumb missing and at least a quarter of every other finger gone! It was a disgrace.

So I sat in bed on Tuesday night, catching up on my TV with tin foil wrapped around the ends of my fingers.

In the past, I've rubbished this method of removing glitter nail varnish, it's never worked for me. Now though, I can't fault it! Genius!

And that's it. I didn't apply anything else in it's place (except a base coat) and it felt really strange, I'm used to seeing a flash of colour when I look down at my hands. I have to say, even though I didn't like it, my nails needed the break. We're talking years since I last took a nail varnish time out. And though I kept them clear for 5 days, I couldn't wait to paint them again.

My colour of choice: Models Own Coral Reef.
