Eighty Eight Claws

I think I speak for all us Tgirls when I say that one of the most infuriating things about spending time in stealthy man-mode is that it's sooooo easy to damage your nails. It forever happens that when I switch from drab man-thing back to delicious femme I'll discover one of my nails has chipped. Now Lucia is a surprisingly stoic when it comes to displays of gratuitous emotion but, ridiculous as it sounds, a broken nail is one of those things that can quickly have me in floods. Why? Mainly because broken nails always seem to pick the worst time to arrive and so long to fix.

Typical example - the tip of your forefinger nail ruptures the day before that date with the guy you're desperate to impress. Aaaaaaaagh!!

I expect, like me gurls, you keep a couple of packets of acrylic nails handy in your big make up box for just such an emergency- but aren't they the devil to remove without leaving the surfaces of your own nails looking like they've been bulldozed by a psychopathic construction crew!
Last year a GG friend suggested I try Nail Envy natural hardener.. made by OPI. It's really really really good stuff and while it hasn't prevented every major nail disaster, it's a great way of side-stepping the little ones. Take good care of those claws, gurls....Miaowwww!
