painted nails
Sunday, July 29th, 2012 06:39 pmNote to self:
Don't shake nail polish bottles, even though they appear designed to be shaken. Also, don't hold fingernails in front of fan to dry them faster. Apparently, doing either of those things may contribute to getting bubbles on the nails as the polish dries.
..
I feel an odd disconnectedness to my hands, after putting on nail polish. They seem foreign, unfamiliar. They don't look like my hands.
Maybe it's the color. Shiny blue and purple are pretty colors, but I think I prefer black. Maybe once some of the polish chips off, so that I can see the whites of my nails, they won't seem so foreign.
My nails feel smothered. Coated in plastic. Oozing a chemical smell - even though the polish does not contain formaldehyde or toluene, and even after having a night to off-gas... but only the purple still smells, not the blue. Maybe it is due to the difference in brands, or maybe because the purple one is several years old, while the blue is newly bought.
The first time I tried on nail polish, my reaction wasn't all that different.

broken nails
Friday, January 23rd, 2004 10:20 pmi seem to keep doing things to cause my fingernails to snap/bend back (ow!!!) and then snap back, leaving them intact but with fissure/crack lines... maybe i should stop using the nail polish, even though i haven't been using it much at all. maybe it does have this effect though. or maybe i'm just clutzier than i used to be?
sigh. i need some... something. ::pout::
oh. and at the grocery store, guess what they had? GREEN chocolate syrup!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2003 09:46 pmeh. words not forming well. thoughts not. not for replies. but for my own incogniz... inconceiv... inconstrue... contemplative non-sensical... yeah whatever, post, yeah. makeup is a pain. putting nail polish on is a pain. waiting for it to dry... lipstick gets ingested, doesn't it? you eat something, and it ends up swallowed. got some blue stick for tomorrow i guess. seems an odd idea to wear it. wanted black really. but you put it on, and it will end up some where else. in the food. or smudged off. and the polish will scrape off. a pain, not being able to use one's nails like normal. blech. and all this stuff for no good reason. novelty novelty difference whatever. poor little doggy. poor little me. this is what i do when i should get ready for bed. scope creep! scope creep! yee-haw, not mission creep, no.
i don't have a face yet. and i need two. for the jackolantern and the waterlantern. tiny jack. oh dearie. hmmm. shoo-bop, dippity do-bop. hmmmmtired. this is what i do. because. the fumes. my eyes. i can't cope. scope creep! my eyes can't cope. my poor little eyes and me and the world. the cost of health coverage has risen 15% each year for the last 4 years. ain't that a thought. 60 percent in 4 years. blech. friggin doctors. and insurance companies. i write programs for ins. co.'s. yep. i make lotsa money. yep. but my eyes can't take it. i'll end up with glasses. or whatever. maybe. whatever.
this is what i do. when it is easier not to get up. it's not warm.the lights are pretty. i have a hollow watermelon and a hollow little pumpkin. waiting for their faces. any i don't have any. yet. maybe i'll find some from last year's over...ideas.
i had a dream... i'm sure. yo yo. i had a yo-yo. i still do. green butterfly. and my glow-in-the-dark frisbee.

nail polish pix
Sunday, September 28th, 2003 08:08 pmhere are some pix from when i had the ( nail polish on... )
the glitter was hard to get off though. scratched my nails, darn it. won't be using that again. even though it was so nice and glittery!

what does a person do with glittery nails like these?
Sunday, September 14th, 2003 12:53 amwearing black nailpolish isn't as neat as i had imagined it would be.
it seems to make my nails look smaller, by comparison.
it accentuates the smallness of my hands
and doesn't seem gothy at all.
not to mention that the polish comes off easily
and is already chipped at the edges.
and not to mention the initial less-than-elegant look
of having gotten polish on the edges of skin around the nails.
today i put alternating stripes of fuchsia and green glitter
down the center of each nail, on top of the black.
the glitteriness and colors are pretty,
but still... i don't know what to make of them.
these nails confuse my mental self-image, i believe.
i can't place myself...
who has nails like these? (little kids playing with make-up?)
i don't yet have it in my mind that i have nails like this.
and that i am still the same person no matter how glittery my nails are.
was just trying to update my internal vision of strong-warrior-me
to include strong-warrior-with-glittery-nails-me
by swinging my tae-kwon-do bo...
and was suddenly reminded of this painting.
it was my depiction of a fanciful glittery black and pink bo.
but instead of that, my bo is still brown polished wood,
while the black and glitter is on my nails,
and the pink is on my shirt.
ah, maybe vanyel had glittery colored nails...

okracilantropolishringgirl
Thursday, September 11th, 2003 09:31 pmho! for the first time while eating okra, i noticed how wonderful it is to eat the little tops off first! cute yummy little things that come right off by a gentle tug of one's teeth... like... like... little okra tops!
and what is it about cilantro that makes it taste, not like lemons, but like lemon dishwashing liquid? but i think i'm finally getting over that, finally beginning to appreciate the cilantro flavor itself... without thinking that the dishwashing liquid must have fallen into the food.
i didn't know that Saipan was a part of the U.S... well, sort of.
this black nail polish isn't nearly as startling to me as the cornflower blue one was. it's not even weird, really. it's just... black. it would probably be more impressive if my nails were longer. and pointier. or maybe if i was wearing black clothes.
heh. with the cornflower blue, the next morning, after stumbling out of bed and into the bathroom, seeing those blue nails woke me up with a "whoa!"
oh,and picking your nose with bright blue nails is weird, i tell ya.
oi, maybe i shouldn't have written that.
ahem - "carefully cleaning one's nose out" with bright blue nails...
while wearing nail polish, i'm noticing my hands do this annoying thing, as if i'm afraid to touch anything properly, as if i'm afraid that doing so would ruin the polish, ie., "ruin my nails". how... ucky. how not like me.
the other day in the bathroom at work, i was turning and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and i could just ...see... an earring on my left ear. a ring-sized loop one. then i immediately began thinking, hey, that would look pretty cool...
but, putting a hole (or multiple holes) in my ear(s)...?
i don't know about that.
and now i was just thinking it would be nice to have a hermes-symbol necklace or pin or something...
what is happening to me???? i'm turning into a girl!!
accccckkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!
no. this androgyne's growing up and becoming... dang, what's that word?
curious? exploratory? ermmm. nope. there's another word, dangit.
and someone seems to have just removed a post of theirs. i was reading it on my friends page and then went to open the comment page, but the page was no longer there. well, friend, the post didn't bother me...

gonna color my nails, i yam.
Thursday, August 28th, 2003 09:13 pmjust eating my Newman's Own cookies... and their name seems funny alla sudden. "tops & bottoms" heheh... but which are which?! they're all the same...
the nail polish i ordered arrived. cornflower blue, and black, ok. but the "port st. lucie purple" one is pink, f'gawd'sake, not purple! i don' need pink, my nails're pink to start with!
so now, how does one put nail polish on without it getting all over the skin at the edges of the nails? is there a trick to it?
