An experiment...

elenearielWhich failed miserably. Yesterday I decided to put a couple coats of clear fingernail polish on my fingernails (novel place to put it, eh?), to see if I have finally matured enough to HAVE IT STAY ON. As opposed to mindlessly and stupidly chipping it off. I was hoping that I'd grown out of this silly habit, and could thus justify wearing colored polish.
But no. By the end of the day every nail had chipped, and some were gone completely. I use my nails for too many things...to pry, scrape, etc. too many things. And once they are chipped I CANNOT HELP making it even worse.
So Mari stays bare-fingernailed. I hate to admit it, but it would be incredibly stupid to put on polish that would 1) be gone in a matter of hours or 2) have to be touched up constantly. Gar.
This evening I'm going directly from work to the banquet. It's an hour away, so I don't have time to go home first. =\ Thank goodness for long-lasting makeup...
