Nail Polish.

N is for nailpolish. Nail polish. I don't know if it's one word or two, but I don't feel like googling it. Currently, my toenails are a shiny teal, very chipped so I need to re-paint them soon. My fingernails are a nice purple, not too dark, but not too light, and shiny. I have had the purple polish for years, so it was kind of sticky and difficult to get an even coat, but it turned out decently.

I am very cautious when it comes to getting new hairstyles, or getting piercings (only my ears, thanks) or tattoos (too permanent!), and trying out "new looks," but I find that nail polish is the perfect way to re-invent myself. Not fake nails, though, because I think they would get in the way and be too clicky on my keyboard and break off, but I have never tried them. I have also never painted my nails black. I probably will someday, I just haven't found the right opportunity I guess.

The thing is, I don't have as much attachment to my nails as I do to my hair or my skin, because they will grow back pretty fast. So I can paint them bright, and then remove it back to natural if I get sick of it, or paint them to match my outfit or my mood, or just clear to make them shine. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes when I am at the store, I "test" out different colors on my fingers to make a nice palette of colors. I usually always have polish on my toenails, because it makes my feet look prettier.

Happy Halfway through BEDA!
