I Need My Crazy Nail Salon!

April 27, 2012 By Talya Tate Boerner

My friends at Fine Nails will have plenty to chatter about when they see my nails. After 5 solid days of cleaning, sanding, painting and weeding, my cuticles need rescuing.

Why on earth would someone paint window and floor moldings pea green? Maybe there was a special on that color- buy one can get five free? It’s amazing what a fresh coat of white paint can do for windows.

And the white paint stuck underneath my nails almost looks like a French manicure if I squint. I bet the nail ladies will disagree.

More later…
