The Weekly Nail Report
May 13, 2011
Nail-job craving: Something that exudes quickness. I want it to be speedy, dynamic, flashy and energetic–after all, this is the manicure I’ll have on for the half-marathon I’m running this Sunday (my seventh!), and I’ve only been contemplating what to do on my nails for months!
How I satisfied that craving: At Tips Nail Bar in the capable hands of both Melissa and Leeanne. Started with three coats of Shellac in Tutti Frutti (three coats to give the colour extra depth). Followed by Essie in Blanc (to make the neon pop) with China Glaze in Celtic Sun (Neon) layered on top for the half-moons and tips.
On the pinkie, Leeanne did a precise V–I think this will help direct me to the finish line!
How these nail colours make me feel: Strong. Invincible. Speedy. Happy. In other words, everything I want to feel like during my 21.1k!
Love it or hate it: Do you really need to ask? LOVE. And ironically, this manicure took more time than it will take me to run my race. But so worth it. And hey, if I don’t personal best in this race, at least my nails look smokin’ hot!
BTW I have another race in two weeks and I’ve told Leeanne she has carte blanche on what manicure I wear for that race. Can. Not. Wait.

I was wondering what the winning design would look like. I love the directional signage on your pinkie. Have a great race!
