My nails are usually wee tiny stubby things, on fingers and toes. I'm a biter and a peeler. Whenever I manage to grow them out, I am SO PROUD.

Why do electric companies still send out meter readers?
A lot don't. There's a lot of time and money involved in the changeover to smart meters, though.

The only thing I worry about with my nails is that they're clean and not ragged. Polish on my nails makes my fingers feel funny.
Plus I'm inherently lazy. I must be missing polish gene along with the shoe gene.

I am missing the polish gene, the shoe gene and the new car gene.

the new car gene.
Not so much the new car gene as "the money to buy a new car" gene.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I always paint my toenails, but I am forever destroying my fingernails, so painting them would be an exercise in futility.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I lack the energy and have too much lazy perfectionism to keep up with nails. If I had an in-house manicurist and tougher nails I'd totally keep them pretty. I just hate the mess I make of them, and how fragile they are.
I still hate the world, but on the upside I just totally mentally scarred someone.
It helps.

See, okay, it takes me way longer than this. I mean, part of it is the length of time it takes me to do the actual coats. But I've been waiting much longer than a few minutes between coats. I don't need to?
Not with a quick dry topcoat. Can't help with bubbles. I get them rarely, usually when I need to thin my polish.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, that's helpful. Will try next time. I think the bubbles have to do with the tremulous way I'm applying. As I get more efficient, I think it'll improve.
So I'll use the Diamont with the 3 frees, but does that go the other way, too? Do I need to keep using the Seche Vite on the cheap poisonous polishes? Or can I use the Diamont on them?
In other news, Clean All The Things progresses apace. Except I staged everything into the living room, cleared out the closet, got the ladder from the shed, climbed up into the attic with the attic flooring panels and.....I bought the wrong size. Oops. So now all the stuff that needs to go up in the attic is going to have to wait until I get the right size panel. Criminey.
Also? It is hot up there. I should have insisted on the ridge vent and solar fans when I built. I can still do the solar fans, anyway, but sheesh. I should do something. The insulation looks pretty good, though.
