I woke up hungry this morning, and you know what I really wanted?
Cantaloupe! |
I did this manicure in the ruffian style on all ten nails, having built a bit of confidence with that technique yesterday. For the outer rind I used OPI San Tan-tonio and for the green I used OPI Don't Mess with OPI, both from the OPI Texas Collection. I don't really count them in this manicure since you can't get a good look at them. I really just wanted to see how opaque the OPI's are, and they're more pigmented than most recent OPI collections have been. I used one coat of each, and they were opaque enough close to the cuticle that no more was needed. It looks like either would need two coats for a regular manicure, but we'll find that out for sure soon. To complete my cantaloupe nails, I used two coats of Misa Shake It to the Samba.

I don't have any fabulous stories starring the cantaloupe. I did grow some gorgeous ones in that garden I told you about yesterday, but harvesting them was a little anticlimactic after several months of answering the daily whine of "When can we pick some cantaloupe?" from my then-stepson. It would have been cute had he been eight, but he was nineteen, and his use of the word "we" followed by any verb generally meant "you," so that sort of sucked the fun out of it over time. Ahhh, fond memories...
That's today's Produce I Wish I Had manicure, and just about all I know at this hour. I'm still hungry, but have come to acceptance of the fact that cantaloupe and cottage cheese isn't in the cards for me this morning, so I'll go find something else. Until tomorrow, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
