Nail Polish

I am going to take a break from the more serious stuff to talk about the problems with nail polish.
I've been thinking about it a lot.  I didn't do my nails a lot because I'm horrible with that kind of stuff and it's tedious.  Those are two problems.  But I've been doing it more recently.  And what happened is that I wanted to do my nails again after getting the blue off of them.  But what I could choose from was pink, orange (my two least favorite colors, though orange is starting to grow on me a bit), and two shades of blue.  And I didn't want to do blue again.
So what did I do?  I went shopping for nail polish.
I went to Walgreen's yesterday, mostly looking for some dark red nail polish but also wanting some other shades if I could find any that I liked.  The nail polish they had (which had a color called "Unicorn" but was a light yellow and therefore too ugly to use) was pretty cheap and they had a lot of colors that appealed to me, so I bought eight bottles.  Three were in shades of blue (I know, I know, no more blue, but I love the color blue, and they were so lovely), two were purple colors, one was more of a neutral brownish color, one was a peach color, and the last one was the dark red color that I wanted.  I've been seeing red nails a bit, but I didn't want a normal red color.  I wanted something darker.
The first problem was deciding which polish to use.  I was excited about the colors and I was torn.  Eventually, I told my brother to pick a random color that wasn't pink or orange.  He said lavender.  So I used the lighter purple color, which looks like this:
A really pretty color.  Love it.
Problem number two was that it took me about an hour and a half (I think) to do all twenty digits.  That included fixing mistakes (problem number three) made when I accidentally brushed my hand against something or didn't do the nail correctly.  They still didn't look that great when I was done, but they were a lot better than when I had started.  Practice makes perfect, I guess, and I just started doing my nails more.
