Save Your Nails?

I have been feeling the need to express my feminine side lately. Plumbers putty and sawdust are definitely not part of my favourite make-up ritual so I had my nails "done". For the first time in my life I had gel nails installed on my digits. My daughter had hers done at Christmas and couldn't say enough about them so I jumped in with both hands. She never told me that her fingers were tender for days after as where mine. Has any one done research on this stuff? They look a little pretentious but I think I may have found a great way to protect my own nails while installing drains and flooring. Who knew? While I will not likely be having these handy scratchers reinstalled they have already protected my own nails and maintained my womanly image. Oh yah, the Mango bubble bath from the Body Shop really helps after a long day playing with teflon tape. Tonight I get to sleep in my own bed again until the weekend when I will repeat my circuit to the island again. The floors are nearly done and it is time to book the movers.
