The winter is really rough on my hands and nails. For about 3 months a year, my nails break regularly (usually at the quick), I have more hangnails than any other time a year, and my hands are quite dry. Compared to my sibling, my hands aren't terrible. Compared to the rest of the year, the cracking and dryness is brutal.
I've been wanting a new nail polish for a little while. Nail polish seems to help my nails last a bit longer, though it chips off in a couple days due to my job. I thought I wanted a nice brown with reddish-maroon tint, but I couldn't find it anywhere. My partner and I went down to the drugstore one night when my extroversion was desperate to be around people and I wanted a walk.
I found a green gel nail polish for $1.99. My partner saw it and suggested I do a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles look.
The light was pretty rough when I took this picture, but that's about what my nails look like.
I painted my nails in kind of descending leadership authority as I saw it when I was three: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo. The thumb is a dark maroon kind of for Splinter.
For those interested, I used a base of Sally Hanson Nail Nutrition Green Tea + Bamboo Nail Strengthener, the gel nail polish, the tips all have random assortments of nail polish, and I used a top coat of a clear polish. We're several days in now and it's still holding up.
Maybe my nails will be green all season.
