I went with an autumn feel for this month: multicolor maple leaves:

Although it has been over a year since I was first introduced to gel polish and was able to start growing out my nails, I am still astonished that after all this time, I actually have nails! Nails that I even have to trim!
Another thing that has surprised me about having them is that I thought, for instance, it would make things easier to pick up; not so. It’s actually harder to pop open cans, harder to put on earrings, harder to lift things up off the floor, and so on.
One other oddness about having nails is that I feel the rest of me has to live up to them. I can’t go out in baggy shorts or wrinkled tee shirts. My nails demand a certain standard of dress and decorum.
