キラキラ take three

i got my nails done yesterday:

basically the baby blue version of the nails i got last time: a blue base with glitter that changes between green, yellow, orange and purple.

i discovered this time just how thin my nails are.  i don't know if that's a result of the gel nails, or just that having really hard nails makes it all that more obvious how thin and flimsy my real ones are.  

while i love the look of these nails, they're not actually something i want to continue for the long term.  i'm trying to break my habit of biting and picking at my nails and cuticles.  gel nails keep me from biting my nails short, actually allowing them to grow.  while they are only as long as my own nails, since they are a bit thicker, it makes it harder to pick at things.  hopefully after a couple more months i'll be able to "uncover" my own nails, paint them myself and keep from touching them.
