Pinterest has come through for me time, and time again, and I even have a board that I call, "I tried it and it's true". Well, now, apparently, I'm going to need to create a board that states the opposite... and I think I'll call it "Pinterest Punks".
Have you seen the cool pin that shows a girl's hand, with a beautiful French manicure created by those little round hole punch reinforcement tabs? Well, that's not my hand, but here's my review of that process.
Okay, so I know my cuticles are shot, and I don't profess to be a nail tech or anything, but most of what you see in this picture is either glue/adhesive or nail polish that has now clumped up and stuck to my nail. I was starting to consider some goo-gone and mentioned to Hubby that this pin was NOT working as planned, to which he responded- "Hey, is now a good time to download those built-in bookcase plans from Pinterest?" Ha. Hah. Aren't you just the comedian?
Here's the finished product. At this point, I was emotionally invested in the project and thought you guys deserved to see a finished product- complete with top coat (painted over the adhesive that wouldn't come off).
In a nutshell, either I'm an idiot (which could COMPLETELY be the case, since I am nail polish challenged), OR this pin sucks. I'll let you decide.
I'm happy to report that since Hubby also coined this Pin "Ghetto", I have completely removed all of said "French manicure" and sticky adhesive. All I have to say is that maybe next time I'll try Dollar Store reinforcement tabs, because Avery makes a damn good product.
