I spent half the afternoon trying to paint my toe nails. Don't ask me why I suddenly felt like painting my toe nails. I don't know. I just felt like it. Anyway, so I was happily trimming, filing and buffing them.. before I actually started painting them. First, giving a base coat and then I painted it a deep dark chocolate brown colour. Toe nails are supposed to be easier to paint because they're smaller. But big toe nails are somehow a massive challenge. Sometimes I get it right the first time.. sometimes I have to redo them a couple of times before I'm satisfied. Today, however, was one of my bad-nail-painting-days. I was painting my right toe nail and for some unspeakable reason, I kept screwing it up. I'll paint it the first time and find that the coat is uneven, so I have to wipe it all off again and start from scratch. Then, the second time, I'll find that there's a speck of dust stuck on the surface of the nail. So I'll try and use my finger nail to sratch it out before it dries up, only to find that in the process of scratching that speck of dust, I've ruined the paint along with it. Third time, my hand accidentally brushed against that toe nail, wipping a whole chunk of paint off.. all because I forgot it was still drying. How stupid! Anyway, I got so pissed off I decided to give up and let it be. I really can't be bothered painting that big toe anymore. I'll just have to make do with 9 painted nails and 1 miserable lonely plain toe nail.

Oh, why do I even bother?

For the sake of vanity.

What is the consequence?

I've turned into the dumbest bimbo ever.

Yuck.
