I really don't like to stand out in a crowd. I have never wanted to be a trendsetter and yet, I hate to be predictable. I don't particularly like to conform to whatever might be expected of me. But I have to admit that it gives me not only pleasure but enormous fun to find people looking at me and then doing a double take.
Why? Because I have pictures painted on my nails. Nail varnish anyone can do. Even different colours on each nail. But I sport ten finger each one of which is different. All because my clever grand daughter is into Nail Art in a big way.
What started as a Saturday job to supplement her university grant, has snow-balled! Photo Shoots, business deals, in-shop demonstrations and much more, has sent a stream of people knocking on her door. Her blog Boom Nails has had well over a hundred thousand hits . Who knows how it will continue.
As for me, I have sported snowflakes, snowmen and igloos over Christmas, I've had blue and white stripes and at present I have ladybird -like black spots on a scarlet background on some nails, others have pale blue polka dots on white and a couple have eyes outlined in red on blue.And yes, I only have ten fingers.
And, of course, I stand out from the crowd, at least on closer inspection.
