Gray Nail Polish Leads to Questions

Question One: Is it possible to take a picture of your awesome new home manicure without your hand looking like some terrible claw?

Question Two: Why do I keep painting my nails and then taking pictures of them? What am I trying to accomplish?

Mysterious mysteries.

The Smartest Thing I've Done All Day

This morning, as I sorted through and assembled our seemingly endless pile of tax documents, I looked down at my fading manicure and sighed.

Tax time is dreary enough without having to look at such uninspired fingernails.

So, I unbent a paperclip, dipped it in white nail polish, and added tiny polka dots to my chipping fuchsia polish.

And just like that, tax time became delightful!

OK maybe not delightful, but, you know, at least it's polka-dotty now.
