I painted my toenails blue (a suggestion from Jessica W) and my fingernails black (a color recommended by Laurie R )....I put on facebook status that "I'm either a big bruise or Ive been left out in the snow too long!".
Really I thought this would be a whole lot more fun than it really ended up being. But it was a mellow Sunday afternoon and I hibernated on the couch all day watching Hallmark movies and decided WHY NOT go ahead and be bold. Honestly the black and blue polish kinda matched my mood. Yes, it is the week before Christmas and I should want red and gold and glitter and such but I'm feeling a bit beaten up and bruised with all that life has thrown at the family lately so the "black and blue" kinda spoke to me.
I chose a Pearlie winter blue for my toes and decided to make it more festive I put snowmen on each big toenail just like those ladies do in the Asian nail places.
Black nail polish was a bit more challenging, even more than red.....you have to color carefully in the lines or it looks icky, but thankfully I have a very steady hand! I have to say, Laurie was right the color is flattering with my coloring, but I was a bit self conscious at work wondering what patients thought of their medical provider wearing "black" polish. Plus it is against hospital dress code!--what a rebel I am! I did get some compliments on it so that made me feel good.
