On Toenail Polish

I gave up painting my nails a few years back. I can't remember exactly why, probably some purist feminist PMS motivated stint. I threw out about a dozen bottles, my entire collection in one noble toss. Shiny Red, Defiant Blue, Random Clear ... toxic and fungificating (it is too a word, pfft. As if spell check knows everything).

I have one bottle now. Black with ruby red glitter. From Halloween, and for when my inner Goth-child breaks out.

The thing is, freshly painted, perfectly pedi'ed toenails look so good.

In order for me to feel ok about myself and my personal choice, I really have no other option but to brutally criticize those who have chosen to make their tootsies oh-so-very much cuter than mine.

Shiny red toenails look as tho the actual nail has been ripped off, leaving a wet, bloody mess on the end of your toes.
