A friend and I recently hosted a charity event at my house. It was called 'Manicures for the Cure,' and the goal was to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation which is devoted to finding a cure for breast cancer. Inspired by the unconventional nail color choices made by some of the attendees, I decided to indulge in a princess manicure today. What is a princess manicure? Well, it involves sparkles, for sure, and princess shades of blue, purple, pink, yellow, etc. I couldn't decide between blue and purple, so I alternated colors and finished with a coat of glittery clear polish. The result? C'est magnifique!
My nails look like something I might want to show off at a New Year's Eve party, but I took them into the piano studio for lessons this afternoon instead. My students were dazzled, no doubt, by the glimmering, shimmering princessy effect. They may have even wished they had the same manicure. But, hey! It's not just about glamour. These nails are very professional for a piano teacher. Just think, I can demonstrate the proper fingering for a root-position triad simply by saying, 'Watch my blue nails' - blue is the color on fingers 1, 3, and 5, you see. I'm not sure what other educational tricks I can do with these nails, but I'll bet I come up with something before it's time to change the manicure!
