day seventy five: 289

'role reversal. do someone else's job for part of the day or create something at their workplace or based on the experience.'

okay so i really wanted to attempt to paint a snail onto my nails so i found this prompt and thought it could work. i'm sure most of you have seen melissa osburns blog - the daily nail (www.daily-nail.blogspot.com), which is amazing. turns out, i'm horrible at this! i paint my nails fairly often but never attempt to add any flare. when i was younger i would add a few dots but nothing more. i tried multiple times and had to repaint my thumb a few times. i ended up having to take it off when i was finished because it was just a fat glob and wouldn't dry. i just had toothpicks on hand to create this, so maybe the secret is fine paintbrushes?! i have no idea...all i know is i should probably stick to dots, yikes!

  2. I had problems with a toothpick too. You ended up with a great looking snail. Too bad you had to take it off.
    Walmart sells nailpolish with a very fine brush! At least Walmart in Canada does... for about $4. I have a black one now. :)
