14 July 2008


After 6 or 7 years of having my nails done, I've finally bit the bullet and registered for the nail course. Classes begin the day after I get back from Las Vegas next week.

I need two guinea pigs (and by guinea pigs, I mean models, of course), and my model for day 2 & day 4 (27 July & 10 August) had to bail. Anyone interested? Heck, I'll do your nails for free till the end of time!

Please? Anyone??


Update: 5 minutes later.... Wow, that didn't take long at all. Enticing Amy's friends with free gel/acrylic nails for life was apparently all it took. If I had known it was going to be that easy, I would have just offered a bottle of Jagermeister & a pack of smokes.

What's Jagermeister?

Booze that tastes like gasoline.

Good luck with that! Show us your creations.

Thanks Sue! I'm really looking forward to it - I have no idea what I'll eventually do with it, but I guess it's something I'll always have, right? I think it's more out of bored curiosity than anything else. :o)

Cool! My nails always look like crap. I'd love to have long sexy french manicured nails. When I win the lottery and never have to do dishes again I'm going to get gels!

Darlene said...

dh: I always had the crappiest nails EVER. I think getting gel nails is my one indulgence. Okay, maybe not my 'one' indulgence, but it's probably in the top five.

p.s. I want to win the lottery so I don't have to ever do dishes again as well.

Wicked cool Darlene! Bored curiousity rocks.

When you win the lottery I don't want to have to do dishes again either ;)

I'm pretty excited for you, Darlene. And sad, also, because my shot at having pretty nails is gone now with my moving and all. If I win the lottery, I'll fly you and Porkchop to Calgary and you can be my personal nail lady. And I'll pay you obscene amounts of money so I will be your only client. Then we'll go shopping. and drink gasoline.

PS: You WILL have to touch people, you know. Did you think of that? AND make small chat.

Kare said...

PPS: How we've changed, huh? Bored curiosity for us used to involved illegal happenings. Now it's become nails. hahaha

Darlene said...

kare: I thought about the whole 'touching' thing - the upside of this is that I choose who I touch. And I never once signed up for small talk. That'll cost extra.

p.s. Please win the lottery - I wish to be a kept nail woman.

p.p.s. If one of Amy's friends backs out, just so you know, you're still my 'plan b'.

p.p.p.s. Unfortunately our illegal curious teenage years are behind us. I think I just need to keep occupied, because otherwise, I'd probably still end up in jail. hahaha

Kare said...

will you be qualified to do dogs' nails? ; )
