Hi!

So just last night I painted my nails for the first time. I had them painted a really aggressive blue and I really liked the way they looked. I was kind of excited to show the people at my school what for and demonstrate that I can and will present as I want. Then I realized I have three performances this week and I can't get away with painted nails for any of them. =_____="

So I had a little bit of two steps forward, one step back. Have you guys and gals had any recent experiences of two steps forward, one step back?

Actually I think you took two steps forward and no steps back.

Most of us go back and forth constantly.  I used to paint my nails Thursday at 5:00pm and take it off at 10:00pm.

Just putting it on and being outside is, IMO, two steps forward.  Next time it will be easier.

P.s.  if it was dark, I hope you put on a liberal clear coat first.  Getting dark colors out of the cuticles is a pain.

Every little bit helps <3, good on ya girl!

There are lots of colors.
Change to one you can wear.

There are shear colors (like the ones used on a traditional french manicure), and there may be colors that are able to match your skin tone.
Try those.

Thank you for the encouragement, gals. I think I'm going to repaint my nails after the concerts. I quickly realized that I like having painted nails, so I imagine once I start going out with painted nails that I'm not going to stop.
