Julie, at Almost Girl, struggled a bit with freshening up her toenails over the weekend. She just is not as tuned in as I am to the notion that these details are really important! However, she said this in her post from over the holiday weekend, leading me to believe that her struggle with the details of beauty as a whole is very voluntary (*wink*):
[…]you can carefully discern a person’s class from that state of their cuticles, thus even the scruffiest Misshapes hipster girl will reveal her trust fund status with her freshly manicured fingers.
Now this quote - I can bet dollars to doughnuts that I have heard it verbatim from my best girlfriend. Well, she probably didn’t say “Misshapes hipster girl,” but she certainly said dreadlock-wearing, noodle-dancing, neo-hippie chick. Whatever the decade or the type of gal, it all means the same. If you want to look like a person with a bit of sense about them, much less a dollar or two in your pocket - pay attention to the details. And for petes sake, paint your toenails!

Amen about the painting your toes. And PLEASE, if you’re going to polish your toes, keep them touched up! Don’t go around with a quarter inch of unpolished new nail at the bed, and chipped polish so your toes look like you’ve been stripping wallpaper with your feet.
You really can tell a world about someone by those little details…cuticles, shoes, watch….
Do you remember what that guy said to Kath *oh so long ago* about her cuticles? This was way back, like when we were in high school. He said something along the line of he could tell that she wasn’t a very clean person, or hygenic or put together or something like that - because of “that red stuff, there, around your cuticles.” Some goofball guy. Kath may not be the most put together gal, but she could buy and sell all of us several times over. Could then and could now.
Thanks for quoting me!
I would love to have Nail tech secrets included in Coutorture! Specialized beauty blogs are certainly a great new trend!
