i've always loved oxidized copper.

and i've been into nail polish.

the day before new year's eve, i was bored and decided to cover my left-hand fingernails with the foil of a toblerone bar i had just finished. there was no way i could have done that to my right hand as well, so i mixed up my clear polish with some gold ink and golded my right hand. i decided then that i wanted to wear gold and silver nails every day.

since that process was much too fiddly and wore off easily, i slapped on a few coats of this green nail polish that struck me, and i had to have it. sadly, it has been chipping off quite easily.

i went to the store to find gold and silver polish. i found silver, but no gold. i settled for a nice copper.

i looked down at my chipping green nails. i patched them up with the copper.

and i just wrote an entire post about my fingernails.
