Last Night's Adventure: Ghetto DIY French Manicure


yesterday i acquired one of those nail polish pens and decided to embark upon an adventure called 'ghetto diy french manicure.' after being on-call for work for a total of 48 hours this weekend, what else was there to do? no type of intoxication is permitted while on call :( so i made the best of my sunday evening. plus, i figured, why not try that whole 'living within your means' thing and stop wasting all the money i don't have at the nail salon.

now, the main problem (other than my complete ineptitude as a manicurist) had to do with the fact that the nail polish pen i bought- nic's sticks by OPI was sub-par. the bristles were crappy and allowed for little to no accuracy in drawing a line. also, the light pink i used to coat my whole nail is slightly too pink and has sullied my white tips.

tomorrow i plan to return to the store and get my damn money back for that piece of crap nail pen. but the rest is all me. maybe next time i will take an extra 90 seconds to use 'the google' and realize that most of the free world has already reviewed the pen and decided it sucks. maybe one day i will acquire some manual dexterity. sadly though, none of this will change the fact that this mission has been a total failure, but hey, at least i have something to blog about, right?
