It doesn't take much to please me - a set of nice new, shiny, wacky nails are making me very happy :)

Very nice nails. I like the patterned black. Only thing better would be if it were purple instead of black. :)

I have had purple on silver in the past. I like to chop and change!

Oooh, the purple and silver sounds really nice. That's a great combo.

Black & gold? Nice!

I like it :)

Very nice! I do have a soft spot for all things bright and shiny where nails are concerned.

I remember your lovely red and gold nails from A10 :)

Thank you! And I'm plotting something new for this year!

Is it a crackle-coat? Does that stuff work well right out of the bottle, or do you have to fuss with it a lot? It looks great! I would totally do mine like that.

The little things make SUCH a difference, I tell ya. For about 15 years, I only owned one lipstick, painted my nails maybe twice a year, and owned about 4 or 5 pairs of earrings and didn't buy any new ones in that whole time period. I don't know why I was like that, if it was just self-denial or being poor/a cheapskate or what, but it's different now.

Now a new lip or nail color and an investment of 10-15 bucks on a pair of earrings are joys I don't deprive myself of, and I get a lot of pleasure out of them. I love picking out my lip color and earrings every morning; honestly it motivates me to get up when I think I can go make myself pretty. :-) Little joys make life so much better. Enjoy the happiness! <3

It is crackle-coat and I don't actually apply it - I go to a nail bar, it's no fuss when they do it :)

I totally agree with you about the little things. Life is so busy nowadays, it's nice to just take some time out and pamper yourself occasionally. Making yourself look nice is great for the self-esteem and well worth a modest investment!

I admire people who can have long nails, if i got a pair i'd gouge my eye out. you have nice long fingers,nice nails and nice wedding set!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I've never had my hands complimented before! Thank you, I should take more care of them - they suffer during the winter and are very dry at the moment.

I wouldn't have long nails if I didn't get acrylic sets put on them - I'm a pathological nail biter and this is the only way I can find to prevent it - they're just too hard to bite now!

My wedding set is precious to me (besides the obvious reason). the engagement ring was my Great Grandmother's engagement ring, I suppose you could call it a family heirloom, and I went to great lengths to pick a wedding ring that matched it.

Well you do have nice hands.Your rings are even more special, you did a good job choosing the wedding ring to match, very nice.
