Rock N Red

For about two weeks now I have enjoyed wearing nail polish on a fully grown-out fingernail. It's like I've been reunited with a long lost relative or something, having this fingernail back to normal after a long and exhausting growing out process after this terribly terrifying incident.

What a relief it is to fit in with the rest of my well-groomed coworkers! It's considered a part of important grooming practices at my job, with customers watching our hands as we count their money, that we maintain well manicured hands at all times. Needless to say, this gruesome sight of a disemboweled fingernail just wasn't acceptable in my line of work. And keeping the tip of a busy finger bandaged is a full time job on its own! (If you're ever in need of this info, here's an FYI: regular sized, regular shaped--not the finger shaped junk--woven cloth BandAid brand bandages are the way to go if you ever stupidly injure yourself like I did. Wrap one over the tip of the finger first, then wrap one around the finger horizontally. It'll last you a few hours if you're typing and working your hands in a money counting fashion.)

Everyone, please give a round of applause for our returning beloved fingernail, The Bird!

She's making her online debut in her favorite Spring shade, Rock N Red by petites, a convenient brand of nail polish I found at WalMart. The convenient part? It's a tiny bottle (only about an inch high, or two inches if you include the brush nob), so by the time it's dried up to a gummy paste you've used most of if anyway. The other convenient part? It only cost me $1.00. Brilliant! Because I took these pictures under lamp light at night, the color looks pretty rich and dark when it's actually really bright and borderline toenail-color-only quality. It's a good thing tomorrow's Casual Friday at work!
