so …  I’m horrid at painting nails..and don’t exactly have the most elegant ones to practice on either, but painting them ESSIE metallic blue and silver certainly served as a distraction from the creepy quiet of the empty house (besides the sleeping cats and myself).  In typical Ren fashion I just chipped all the right hand fingers again though – do any of you have that problem?! I can’t keep nail polish on for more than a day. 
just off the cuff, I think my mirror metallics refelect well on you  // essie
