Fingertips
I thought it would be fun to have 'prosthetic nails', so I had them installed right after Christmas. Now I can induldge my occasional whim for nail-painting without having to worry about my squishy-soft nails buckling and ruining the paint. They are strong! Took me a while to figure out how to open a can of cola, though :) For about two weeks afterward (and continuing to some extent even now) I developed an obsession with tapping my nails on every different type of surface to see what it sounded like. Weird, yes.
These pics are actually the same shade, taken in natural light and indoors. Grainy cellphone-pics, but still interesting how different the shade looks in different light. ¶ 1:28 PM
