I feel pretty!

There is a nail shop in every strip mall in the DFW metroplex. I don't know if I will ever understand how they make a profit, but I can figure out why they have customers.

Having a set of fake nails put on is instant femininity. They make me feel beautiful. They give me confidence to talk with my hands. To interact with people. It is like having a good hair day every day.

Other advantages of fake nails are durability. They don't break like natural nails. If you have a habit of biting or tearing your nails, you can forget it.

I am very conservative with my choice of nail style. I keep them shorter than most with the length even with the ends of my finger tips. Most women keep them longer. I either have the "American" manicure with pearl tips instead of bright white or a neutral polish color.

This week I went a little on the wild side and had a design painted on the ring finger nails. When they asked if I wanted a mini-rhinestone, I declined. Don't want to go to crazy now. See the extended entry for a pic.
