i am not exactly the girly sort -- sure, i take care of myself so i make a good impression to anyone who wishes to give me money, and, therefore, do not stink; and i know how to compose an outfit, but that's just being a good artist -- but i do not spend my spare time reading glamour magazines, or watching celebrity shows, or, you guessed it, playing with my nails.
they were a fairly blank slate to start with. not already super-mega shiney, nor completely screwed up. i play with old wood and metal in my spare time, forgotten things (i'm a junk-artist), and i also tinker around under the hood of my car and my rider mower. these things can be very nail-damaging, but my mother is a beautician/manicurist, who helps me to at least keep them from peeling and chipping. so they're about as balanced and average as they come.
i found this one web site that gave all these home-remidy tips on how to get shiney, healthy nails. most of them i didn't have the supplies to do it. but i settled on two to compare.
one deals with milk; soak for 7 to 10 minutes, don't wash for another 10 minutes.
the other with raisins; soak the raisins untill they're plump, rip them open and rub one raisin each on my fingernails and don't wash off at all.
i did one method per hand, but it doesn't really matter which was which, because this was the result:
the beauty shop where mama works has two manicurists, both trained professionals, and i asked both of their opinions. there was a draw. one thought one hand was shinier, the other thought the reverse.
the LABRATZ final descision: both lactose and shrivelled fruits were equal contenders. yeah, it's an anticlimactic result, but that's what we got. don't write me off just yet; this is only my first entery here, give me a chance.
for i am we, and we are labrats, and LABRATS-R-WE!
Soaking nails in milk, eh? Very intresting my friend of another world
