Sidetracked ... Ouch =(

I had literally just decided not to change my nails, to edit some pics & get caught up posting instead.  Then this happened to my right pinky:
 
 
I somehow bent it totally backwards on the arm of my chair.  I will warn you before this next pic, that this is polish, not blood ... mostly.  I think.  Although it hurt enough taking the polish off there very well could be some blood, but I'm going to continue telling myself it's polish:
 
 
This seriously hurt so bad the last thing I wanted was to take the polish off, but it is obviously way too low into my nail bed to chop off so I needed to patch it.  Instead of editing pics & answering comments which I did so well with for a little while LOL. 
 
Tomorrow I have a hair appointment & then when I get home I need to make a fruit tart so I don't know that I'll have time then either, grrr.  But I've got so far 2x NOTD & 1x TOTD & soon will have 2 hauls to show & then have to go on a no-buy...  Except for the Orly Cosmix FX collection, that is already budgeted for LOL.  But my Nubar order got kind of out of control, so I need to content myself with what I have for a while, like until Christmas XD
 
Thanks for reading.

  1. Ouch!!! that looks so painful!!! Im sure you're busy patching it up as I type but I was looking into buying the konad nail art stamp and I was wondering if it works perfectly well with nail polish other than their supposed "special polish"??

  16. I do this all the time with my pinkies, but they stand up to the abuse. *knocks on wood* It feels so nasty though when they bend back like that.

  17. EVERYONE - Thanks for all the sympathy =) It was sooo sore all the next day =( But has gotten better since then.

    ANON - not all regular polishes work, but some do, especially chromes or colors that cover in 1 coat.

    ENAMEL GIRL - It's been almost a month, they are growing pretty quickly. I like them at this length although it's not my ideal =)
