The Weekly Nail Report
April 1, 2011
In May I’m running the Goodlife Toronto Half-Marathon. What’s that got to do with my nails? I’ve been contemplating what manicure I should have for my race–I’m thinking something bright and flashy, although I’ll be running so fast no one will really catch more than a glimpse of it 🙂 (Kidding. I’m not very fast.)
So I’ve started looking at shade names that’d be race-appropriate. Hey, I’ll take any bit of motivation I can get when plodding my way through 21.1k.
It goes without saying that I’ll be using Deborah Lippmann Addicted to Speed Ultra Quick Dry Top Coat. As for some of the colours I thought might inspire me run like the wind:
Butter London in British Racing Green.
Essie in No Boundaries. (I’ll think of this when huffing and puffing up those hills.)
Essie in Clutch Me If You Can. (My message to all the peeps behind me 🙂
OPI in Bring on the Bling. (After all, it’s all about getting a medal at the finish line, right?)
Revlon in All Fired Up.
OPI in Charged Up Cherry.
So many great choices. Guess I’ll just have to run more races.(gulp)

[…] After the teal shade I sported for my 8k race last weekend, I wanted something a little dull. (BTW, as I trudged up a difficult hill in my race, I actually thought to myself “No Boundaries”… Oh, and in case you were wondering, I haven’t yet chosen a shade for my half-marathon in […]

[…] orange tips didn’t last very long on me). I’m head over heels in love with my nails and I totally think this would be a half-marathon-worthy manicure (but Leeanne is helping me brainstorm on my nails for that race, can’t […]

[…] 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! […]
