Have you ever tried typing with false nails?
I mean, I suppose it’s like typing with real nails except that growth is slow, barely noticeable, so minute adaptions are made daily and you are not suddenly typing as if with somebody else hands.
You see, false nails – though a lifesaver for the modern mother who is more used to picking play-doh from the carpet rather than luxuriating at the Beauticians – are a bit of a shock. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more than a few ‘false nail related injuries.’ I mean, you could do some serious eyeball damage with these babies. I might just keep my contact lenses in tonight as I am a little wary of being drunk in charge of my cosmetically altered talons.
And why will I be drunk? Well tonight is Mr B’s gig. The one where he is supporting himself, as in, playing in the fabulous support act, as well as the blumming brilliant headliners. Not that I’m biased or anything… Because I would be totally honest if I thought they were pants. No really I would, I mean, I’m telling you about my false nails aren’t I??
But they’re not pants.
I promise.
And I will share clips tomorrow if I can keep my camera steady. ;D
Night night, and erm probably ‘hic…’

“In fact, I wouldn’t be survived if there were more than a few ‘false nail related injuries.’”
survived? Interesting slip!

I’ve had acrylic nails a few time, usually when I’m going on holiday and won’t have any washing up or cleaning to do. They’re supposed to last a few weeks but I always come back off holiday minus at least two!
Hope you don’t poke your eye out!

When I first got my nails I went out with my contacts in, but when I got home, late, after a few drinks, I couldn’t get them out! I had to turn to Google to get ideas about how I might accomplish this without losing an eyeball. Now I’m a pro.

I’ve never had false nails, but they sound awfully dangerous. You’ll probably poke somebody’s eye out. Well, I don’t really want you to do that, so please don’t drink too much. Or take your nails off, if vanity permits you to. Be careful of your contacts. You don’t want to drop one on the floor. Have fun, regardless.

What’s even funnier is watching people write with huge long false nails on. They sort of have to twist all their finger tips to the side and keep the pen still with their thumb. It should be an Olympic sport.

Dumdad yes. My brain strayed for a moment.
Cami yes. And they look so pretty.
Akela I took some spares out with me last night. These were just the cheapy ones you do yourself but they look fine.
And my eyeballs are intact.
Jen luckily they’re not too long so I was fine. I love that you googled that though, hee hee.
Boisterous Butterfly it was fine hee hee. They’re not too long. Just longer than I’m used to. And I ad a brilliant night.
Expat Mum, yep, that’s funny. It should definitely be an Olympic sport, hee hee.
