Some of you might be wondering why there was no Mani Monday this week. Truth be told, I actually broke most of my nails this past Saturday from doing a ton of housework, cooking, shopping and heavy lifting of big luggage bags. I know this is as silly of a reason as it gets to be upset about, but it’s a tragedy for any nail polish lover – less canvas to paint on 🙁

I wanted to go ahead and still do a Mani Monday, but in the end I felt pretty discouraged. Here are a few pictures of what my nails look like right now. It will take me a few weeks to get them back to a state where I actually enjoy photographing them for all to see, so for now, unfortunately, this is all I have.
