I get to keep my nail art, and can paint whenever I like, prepare a lot of base colors, finish it and photograph it when I have the time and the light is right.
That is a brilliant idea, right?
But the not so brilliant idea was to invest in this plastic "training hand" from a random seller on Ebay. It was supposed to be soft with bendable fingers, it's not soft, but the fingers are fairly bendable if you press hard.
It's supposed to fit false nails tightly, at least that's what the description says. But unless you first cut the "cuticle end" of the nail, you cannot make it fit, and even then it falls of unless you glue it on because the it's not cut deep enough and "side walls" does not embrace the nails at all, not matter what size and kind of nails I tried.
So I cut/filed a nail very pointed, painted it hot and vibrant pink (Butter London Disco Bisquit) and made a piece of modern art of it. Do you like it... ;)
LOL
SvarSletLMFAO!!! I literally screamed a bit when I saw that hand show up in my google reader lol. Thanks for starting my day out with a laugh =)
SvarSletI'm happy you got a good laugh, I kind of hoped that would be the effect ;)
SletThis made me giggle so hard this morning! I swear I'm not laughing at your frustration, I'm just running on too little sleep. :D
