Yes, those are the freshly and professionally pedicured toes on my left foot. The right foot looks pretty much the same, just a mirror image. Without the toe rings. Why is she sharing her pedi with the world, you might wonder. Well. I found myself last week with very sad hands. So sad and in need of rest that I couldn't muster the spoons to trim my ridiculously long toe nails. Then there was that pesky crack in my left great toe nail that had popped open again. Last January I was out in the garage putting away Christmas decorations wearing, silly me, flip flops. And I stubbed my toe. Really hard, my toe was bruised and I thought I might lose the nail altogether. But no, it remained anchored solidly to my toe with a nasty crack running nearly all the way across the nail in a jagged slant. Still attached to live flesh, I might add. I had been getting by with applying nail silks to the crack and setting it with crazy glue. This method worked for about a month or so. Last week I just didn't have the energy to deal with it, so I made an appointment at my fave nail salon. The technician had a great solution that should hold things together until the nail grows out. She applied an acrylic build-up to my toe nail and smoothed it out so it looks pretty natural. Then she painted 'em all up pretty with a fancy design. This should hold up for over a month! You never realize how slow your toe nails grow until you're watching them.
