I prefer to wear a natural finger nail look for several reasons:
#1: Chipped nail polish looks awful.
B: Fashion magazines and celebrities always sport a natural nail look.
Choo choo train: What a waste of money.
A few weeks ago I splurged to get my nails done for date night. What I really needed was my cuticles cleaned up by a professional and I wanted to sport a brazen red on my nails for a different look.
It was fun.
It was a girlie.
I'm ready to shed the red.
Shellac can be picked off as an alternative to going back into a salon and paying to have it removed (again, a waste of money). And I managed in curiosity to see if I could pick it off to lift a slight corner and with an easy pull, half the nail polish lifted off my finger nail in one easy piece.
You can't stop when something this great happens (saving money & time going back to a salon).
Here I am, driving to church today with the nail polish completely pulled off of one of my nails when Brooke notices and I agree and said out loud, "I know, I look like ghetto trash." That was probably a bit harsh, but I'm still the girl who doesn't wear colored nail polish so I don't look chipped.
Brooke quickly defends me and passionately says, "Mom! You drive a sporty car that nobody else has and are a freaking fashion model, you are not ghetto trash!" [World, stop!]
Stop! At "freaking fashion model." Let me savor this sweet moment.
By no means am I a fashion model. More like comfort queen and over-wearer of my few favorite outfits.
I am casual jean wearing with a tendency toward sexy tops, a natural finger nail look, with simple princess cut diamond earrings kind of girl with long, flowing dark curly locks.
A more casual, classic look.
I am flattered my high school daughter thinks I am a freaking fashion model.
