whiski_sour | Maybe it's Maybelline...but I really doubt that

I have this annoying habit of picking at my fingernails. It started when I was in grade school and continued until, well, a few years ago. To help break myself of the habit, I started painting my nails (I painted my nails before, but not so often). You see, if there was polish, then I wouldn't pick.

Now, you'd think from painting my nails off and on for many years and then frequently in the past few years that I'd be good at it. Wrong!

I'm so very sloppy. And I'm not just talking about painting my nails with my non-dominant hand, either. Both hands are equally bad. And I don't bother to clean them up with polish remover, either, because the polish that gets on my fingers comes off the next time I take a shower and that's good enough for me.

Also, the fact that I do such a bad job and then don't clean it up immediately is an affront to Carrie's girly nature and that amuses me.

But, that's just more proof that being girly has to be a talent and not an acquired skill. Because by all rights, I should be a hell of a lot better at painting my nails by now.

I just do no possess the gift.
