Resident Lazy Girl.

Good morning!  

This girl is about to show you the go-to mani for the resident lazy girl.  The resident lazy girl being me.  Hi, my name is Renata and I have sporadic bouts of laziness.  It comes around occasionally.  Ya know, here and there.  Unless you were to ask my momma who would probably tell you about how as a teenager my folded clean clothes would go from bed, to chair, to desk, to top of dresser, yet, never actually make its way in the dresser.  Of course she would threaten to take away my AOL privileges and then said clothes would be put away in .005 seconds.  You can take away my television, you can take away my phone, but you will never take away my internet!  I'm almost positive I made that speech to her once, maybe twice.  She didn't find the hilarity in its implication.  I on-the-other-hand found it to be genius.

If you know me personally, chances are you've rarely ever seen my nails unpolished.  By rarely, I mean never.  I kid you not, my nails are polished seven days a week.  On the days  where a proper manicure is just not in the books I tend to attempt a Renata manicure.  Otherwise known as a manicure done by you and you alone.  For some reason my skills have gradually decreased within the years.  Which is odd, since they keep telling me, "practice makes perfect".  If you are thinking, "Why doesn't she just use her lunch break for a mani?" let me be perfectly clear, lunch breaks are not for manicures.  Lunch breaks are not for sleeping.  Lunch breaks are for eating.  Unless someone is feeding me while I get my nails done, a mani during my break is just NOT HAPPENING.  Not today, not ever.

My nails were begging for a manicure this weekend.  Yet all I wanted to do with my spare time was indulge in the last season of Dawson's Creek.  I AM ADDICTED!  So, when I found Maybelline's Polka Dots color show nail polish sitting on the shelf at Target, I had a Eureka moment.  What is a lazy girl to do when she wants to polish her nails and watch television at the same time?  Use textured nail polish.  Textured nail polish hides all imperfections.  You messed up a little on the corner?  Dude, not a single person will ever know.  EVER.  

I used Essie's Sugar Daddy as a base just to help for when I decide to remove said polka dots from my nails beds.  Like glitter, polka dots tend to be impossible to remove.  I'll probably hate my decision four days from now, yet now I am reveling in its amazingness.  Two episodes down and my nails look the bomb (at least I think so).  And, if there are bubbles, I sure can't see them.  Plus, I think my nails look Devil Wears Prada posh.  I am channeling my inner Emily today.

If you find yourself in a pickle and you only have a short time to pimp those nails, go polka dots, you won't regret it!
