Whited out

My brain is scattered and unfocused today. I'm having difficulty concentrating on tasks, and am even a little resentful at having to, you know, do my job, which is absolutely ridiculous. I want not to be here. I sold a pair of bloomers to one of the Wescoe secretaries, though. That made it worth coming to campus today.

Also, I have new nail polish. Snow White, by Zoya. It's supposed to be used as a French Manicure tip color, but I fucking hate French Manicures and I wanted polish that would look like I did my nails with Liquid Paper. It does.

Update: Oh. I just got hit with a giant wave of tired and remembered that this is my first workday off the Provigil. I bet this explains the lack of focus, too. Major suxxor, dudes.

Hey, I love the white nail polish on you! Not everyone can carry it off, but you do!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-01-23 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I don't imagine I'll wear it very often. It took three coats and was kind of a pain in the ass to apply without streaking. But it does look pretty damn awesome. =)

I haven't worn fingernail polish since high school since I am absolutely awful at applying it to my dominant hand, so I admire anyone who can put it on by themselves because HOW do they do it?

(Besides, guitar. So I stick with polish on my toenails in the summer so I can look down and grin. Not sure if I can carry off white polish there, though.)

I'm kind of ambidextrous in general, so that helps. But mostly, it's just practice practice practice. =)

I think the black hair color makes it work. On me it would just disappear.

Because I have hair on my hands?!?!?

Your hands are near your face, silly ;-p

bleeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh Provigil.

Indeed. Or, rather, bleeeehhh lack of Provigil.

The good news: I'm not gonna need a week to evaluate if I need a replacement drug. I'm 48 hour Provigil-free, and the answer is fuck yes I need a replacement drug.

I love the white nails! the gal who did my buffout last time had a pearl white and it looked amazing. She has teeny delicate hands like you.
I like the matte even better.

and... Adderall?

You bet your ass I'm going to give the Adderall a try asap.

And thank you! I like the cream colors, too. I'm on a total cream color kick right now. Which is funny. I used to hate cream color nail polishes because that's all my mom let me wear when I was a pre-teen. Now? I think the last time I wore a frost or metallic was for KCRF performances.

Wow, that long?

I'm liking this very subtle glitter in the one I'm wearing now, the two week mani.

Well, it's not like I don't have a zillion bottles of polish to choose from.

But, no, it hasn't really been that long. I certainly don't wear them as often anymore, though.

haha!

I so want one of those little plastic nail polish shelves like they have in the nail shops. Looks like you could use one, too.

Tess and Natalie have one of those. It's faboo. But I have nowhere to hang one. =(

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2012-01-23 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)

Oh poo. I checked prices online and whoa. I think I'll find something to repurpose instead. Crazy 'spendy for just a plazzy thingy.

sorry you feel tired and scattered. :(
I like the nails and am with ya on the french manicures.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-01-23 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks on all counts!

[identity profile] shrijani.livejournal.com 2012-01-24 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I, too, detest French manicures!

I would love it if white nail polish looked good on me, but it doesn't, so thanks for carrying that load. ;)

Very happy to help in that capacity.
