You know what is fun about moving? Nothing.
But I thought I should have some cute nails while starting the process this weekend, as polish seems to keep nails a bit stronger (and god forbid I lose one in this seemingly never-ending relocation process) and here’s how the polish endured…
Chip resistant? False advertising!
By the end of day one, I looked like I was trying to eek a manicure out for two weeks …
I was embarrassed to sign important apartment papers with these piss poorly painted talons. The horror!
By Sunday evening, I was sporting a look only a trailer trash loving honey would love…
Nails at the end of day two…
Apparently I am destined to be move of a “pointer” for moving purposes – such as, “that goes in the kitchen” with my finger extended in the direction of my culinary center. I mean, my nails are jewels, not tools after all.

Oh dear! Not a pretty sight. Maybe just stick with the natural look for now. 🙂
Yes – definitely going with the au natural look. Lesson learned!
At first I thought that was your nail torn – looked painful! I am so glad it was just the nail polish.
Me too! I thought it was my nail, too because I’d slammed it in a drawer. Just the polish – phew!
Oh dear, welcome to my world :(. In my life time, so far chip resistant nail polishes have been a total false advertisement.
I am considering a boycott. Wait, who am I kidding?!
This post “nailed” it!
Ha! You can say that again!
Ummm…trailer trash honeys… :drool:
I did think of you while writing that line.
Excellent. Great to know you have my back on such important issues. 😀
I hate moving too. That’s why last time I hired them to move us and pack us. Saved me lots of time and money. Your poor nails.
I hear you on the movers! Since this move was unexpected, I lacked the funds for an actual company. So it’s been my folks and I having all kinds of fun! Oh, and my beautiful mani to boot!
My nails always flake off. But it’s a cool look while it lasts!
Agreed – I think I’ll keep the polish off for the rest of my move!
How’s Mr. Bear handling the packing?
He’s curious to get into the boxes and then he freaks out because a box is on the floor….poor nervous kit cat!
Nothing is correct!
So sad to see one of your lovely manicures spoiled by the moving! I would be depressed, too. Because when I’m in a situation that needs confidence and sanity, I tend to turn to things like pedicures, shoes and manis, too. In your new home, after you’re all moved in, you should treat yourself to a spa mani and pedi! 🙂 Keep your chin up. 🙂 Maybe Teddy would appreciate some skinny pirates, too? Haha!
Teddy NEEDS a skinny pirate to calm his nerves. And I think we’ll both get treated spa pedis and manis (of course I’ll be doing Teddy’s) once I’m a little settled and in no situation where a nail can be chipped!

Yes, the alcohol comes in handy in times of nail polish (and moving) disasters! I should have done a gel mani but wanted to wait until after my move. Will post pics soon. Cheers!
Well at least you’re not a whimp that’s for sure! ;D
Oh hell to the no! But I can’t stand chipped polish – it’s one of my biggest pet peeves!
Hahaha I couldn’t help it was so funny , your poor nails. My nails are exactly the same in one day they mostly are like this ! 🙂
I understand what you’re saying! My nails are now in recovery!
