Why Horse Girls Get Manicures

So Midnight has a pretty bad case of scratches/nasty fungus stuff on his white sock.


Unfortunately, I've been a really bad nail biter my entire life. Especially when I write...great career choice, right?
 

I tried. My little stubs had pretty much no effect on pulling off the scabs--all I really succeeded in doing was annoying Midnight.

$55 later...

...and I had a Betty-Boop-esque pattern that I did not like at all. The tiny, obsessive, loon-feather-like pattern of dots was what appealed to me, not the fact that they were polka dots. So I took off the polish and redid it at home.
That's better. Now off to the barn for the real reason I got acrylics...
So gross but so satisfying at the same time. Well, not for Midnight, but who can blame him--getting scabs picked off and medicated is not fun.

In other news I may have rustled up some barn friends to go do a Murder Mystery trail ride this fall...I hope it works out because the event sounds really fun!

      I know!! It's basically going to be Clue on horseback--visiting different areas to figure out who the killer is and what weapon they used.

    I used to bite my nails horribly. (And admittedly still do when I am very nervous or stressed). But acrylic nails are what helped me quit. Don't rip them off though... Made that mistake. I am now happily sporting natural nails that stay a great length provided I don't beat on them too much.

    Bwahaha love the nails. I need those, I pick at my nails, mostly when I'm bored (which is often)

      Well it benefits both of us. Acrylics are practically indestructible compared to natural nails!
