In which I accidentally glue my toes together
Running around over this past weekend, I spotted this:
A beautiful vision of perfect toes came into my mind. The fake nails weren't a lot of money, so I figured I'd try them out. You can try just about anything once, right?
So after Fly was in bed, I sat down with the nail kit. The creepy little disembodied toenails. The cancer-causing glue. The impossibly small nail stickers. I wasn't deterred.
The first toenail went on perfectly! The second one was a little crooked, but who would be able to tell?
By the third toenail, though, I was getting overconfident in my fake-nail-putting-on ability. I got cocky. I was a little too haphazard with the glue. And I darn near glued my forefinger to my ring toe. Then I really did it -- I glued my forefinger and thumb together! Ack! S l o w l y, I pulled them apart. Yikes! This stuff is really sticky.
I moved on to the other foot. I started with the big toe. It didn't look right. I compared it to the first big toe. Gah! There are two sizes of big toenails in the package! Now I had two mismatched big toes! One normal, one Shrek-sized. But there was no going back now.
Fingers and thumb covered in rough patches of dried glue, I finally finished!
And then I realized I glued two toes together. Great.
Glue issues aside, I was still worried the toenails would fall off in bed and I'd wake up to little toenail carcasses littering the sheets. So I put socks on and hit the hay. (They're still on.)
I promise this isn't turning into a foot blog....

Well, they look pretty...
:) Sounds like a fun adventure. They look good!
I think they look pretty good. I would have never known it wasn't done by a professional!
100% MORE NAILS!!
bwhahahahaahha
you are a nut! I could never do this b/c not only would I glue my toes together and my fingers to my toes, but inevitably I would be glued to whatever surface my feet were resting on.
Do they feel funny when you put socks on? That is one reason I would have avoided putting on fake toenails. Another is that I would probable end up glued to the floor.
Wow. I had no idea that there was such a thing...I may have to look into that for next summer.
Nice toes!
I was looking at my toenails at the pool this morning and, wow, yours are seriously putting them to shame. It's fall here. I wear socks almost constantly. I don't need your pretty toenail peer pressure!!! (kidding. they're beautiful)
hee hee! Full bloggy disclosure, huh? I think they look great--as toes go!
