Press-on Pretties
Feb. 13th, 2018 11:46 amI am so makeup challenged, I swear - I kind of skipped the "girls get together and put makeup on each other" thing that is apparently out there, my friends were more about seeing if we could sing the entirety of Pirates of Penzance or fangirling over Alexander Dumas and Charles Dickens. One result is it took me until I was in my 50s to try putting on false eyelashes (easy but weird to wear because you can see them) and fake nails.
My nails are so darn brittle and I noticed how much their short, uneven little selves were showing up in my dance pics because so much of it is hand gesture related. I decided to bite the bullet and buy some fake nails (press on Kiss). I didn't even know they could be trimmed and filed like real nails, or how to stick them on but I can now say I now officially have long-pink-glitter fingernails. Feels weird to type with them. This is my experimental set to see how well they stay on and how long they last, if it works I can get coordinating nails for costumes when I have performances.
Live and learn!
