The Pink Shoe Diaries

Since the advent of the summer, I have been going every Thursday on my lunch break to get a mani at Four Seasons Nail in Newton which I HIGHLY reccomend. It costs only $12 and they do a bangup job. There is a wide screen TV on the back wall usually tuned to some kind of interesting daytime TV (in this week's case I got to watch 10 minutes of "Ellen" and 20 minutes of Wimbledon). And the seats you sit in to get your nails did are massage chairs! If that isn't a nice mid-day pick me up I don't know what is.

Anyway I have been doing mostly neutrals on my toenails and fingernails because let's be frank, when it chips it looks less noticible. I have been known to do a bright pink toe when the mood strikes me as well.

Anyway I have become a fan of the Essie line, particularly "Fiji" which is a nice pale, opaque, pinky, beige, white type color.

But this week when I went I could not find the bottle anywhere So I decided on another similar looking color, "Fit Me on the Jitney". It LOOKED like a nice, pale, beigy-pink neutral fun "off to the Hamptons" type nail color.

In fact it turns out to be basically transparent, pink and somenow semi-irridescent. I.E. Not at all what I wanted.

Not to mention the fact that I have already effed nearly all of the nails on my left hand up because I rushed out of the salon without letting them dry to get away from the large man who was sitting next to me in the salon and felt the need to hump his chair everytime Maria Sharpova grunted which if you have been watching Wimbledon is all the damn time.

In any case I am tempted to go back and ask for a touch up but it IS my fault so I assume I will have to pay for a whole new one. Or find that large humping man and demand $12.
