Olympic nails

[Turtle Bean]

My nails are still short down to the quick.

[Princess Morripov]

Have the not instantly overnight grown with the nail magic?

[Turtle Bean]

No. Therefore I decree that it is not magic AT ALL.

My nails are still short down to the quick.

so are mine but I am still painting them.

Your Barry M glitter has arrived

[Turtle Bean]

ooh lovely, will pm you in a bit re meeting up.

[Princess Morripov]

Yeah, Benny, your nails really aren't that bad, stop MAKING EXCUSES.

[Shoe]

Short nails can be painted too! Some colours even look better on shorter nails, I think.

Pov, you are awesome, as usual, we need a lottery win so we can start our business, or maybe just a lottery grant... Will they give us money to pain our nails do you think?

[Princess Morripov]

Yes, because it's therapy. Like that bollocks when they stick needles in you and shit, or when you sniff random stuff, or eat pot pourri.

[Texaco Shirley]

I am not going to the Pov/Shoe/Benny salon if they're going to make me eat pot pourri

[Princess Morripov]

I will not make you eat pot pourri, just those Chinese Herbal Doctors make you do it don't they? And that's medicine or therapy or something, so I think we can argue painting nails cures all ills also. without having to drink freeze dried mushrooms with boiling water poured on them.

[Turtle Bean]

My plan, if I ever got to do this, was to see if I could be a visiting manicurist at old people's homes. I reckon the old ladies would like hand massages and maybe a bit of polish and someone to talk to for a bit. I don't know who would pay for it though...

[Texaco Shirley]

That's a nice idea Bean, I'm not sure you'd make a living out of it though.

[Princess Morripov]

That would be ace Bennington. Perhaps the nursing home that is charging £1000 a week per person could dip into their ridiculous profits?

[ParisGal]

That is already a thing, isn't it? I think it's a lovely idea, people in institutions need to retain their dignity and nice nails and hair and makeup would be a big help. Although, as you all say, I'm not sure the people who do it are paid anything

[Pickle]

Badly painted medal colours!

[Princess Morripov]

They are nice little, Pickle. Your nails are looking good.

[Buttery Crumpet]

This thread is fantastic for inspiration. I am in awe of the skillz.

Well done Povvo and Shoe.

This is a question I can answer! The next of kin is billed for it, along with haircuts, chiropody and a fuckton of toiletries and "sundries". Money goes fast when you live in a nursing home!
