They are about 3 inches in diameter, made of a chocolate cake like base then frosted half with vanilla frosting, half with chocolate frosting. I always ate the vanilla side first. Man oh man are they good eats.
My nails continue to be a mess. I do have some free edge finally, but bad peels and splitting at the tips. I am actually contemplating getting gels put on my nails to help them grow out. The strengtheners I'm using may be drying out my nails too much and if I'm honest with myself, I really haven't been oiling as I should be. I have started doing research and emailed a couple of salon owners, as well as my guru Ana at Nail Care HQ. The problem is making sure you have someone that knows what they are doing so as to not make things worse. I just want a clear layer so I can still do my nail art on top. I haven't done it yet, but am seriously thinking I might try it. Ana has said that if it's done right, it can be beneficial. I'm not allowed to have acrylics due to work rules, and if I did do acrylics, I wouldn't have this blog because I would do the pink and white french and just call it a day. So the work rule keeps this blog going!
Work is still being stupid. The next issue is really causing me concern. It's a complicated story but I'll try to make it simple. Have you ever been scoped? Meaning a colonoscopy or endoscopy where they put the scope with a camera down your throat to look to see if you have stomach problems? Well there are similar scopes for the head and neck cancer clinic I do. They go in the nose to look. They are VERY expensive. I'm talking like $4000 a piece maybe? We just got three brand new ones in with the renovation they are doing that I've told you about.
These scopes have to be cleaned between patients. Me and the other nurse do this. It has to be soaked in this serious chemical called Cidex for 20 minutes. Well the stupid hospital has decided that these scopes from all the clinics have to go to a central cleaning area. So we have to figure out how many of these very expensive and fragile scopes we need per clinic. They are estimating a two hour turn around. This is not going to happen. I know this, they are oblivious to this.
Picture people who don't give a rat's ass coming to pick up these scopes, taking their sweet time getting to the cleaning area, not giving a crap how careful they are with it. Then moseying back to bring me the cleaned scope. Two hours? HAH! So not gonna happen. Plus the scopes will be damaged and the initial cost to get at least 8-10 scopes for all the clinics is crazy talk. I have a hard enough time with the people who bring me my sterile instruments. And they are metal and can't be broken.
It's just a scary thought, but I'm told going to happen as they've already built out the area to do this in. Oh what a mess they will be creating with this.
Wow that was quite the ramble eh? Today's mani uses those hole reinforcements again. I was going to do a ruffian but I'm told it's more a half moon. I'll let you decide.
Here is your silly bottle shot.

My camera will be showing this as blue. I started with skittles.

I next placed a hole reinforcement and polished all but one nail with the darkest purple. Here is that step.
Next I added heart studs and called it a day. Here are the results.
