When I was little, my mom always told me that painting my finger nails is very unlady-like. She said that classy ladies don't paint their finger nails, especially dark and flashy colors. Being the obedient daughter I am, I never dared to even try different color nail polish at drug stores. But at some point, I had this sudden urge to be the rebel. Now that I'm 22, my mom can't nag me for painting my finger nails, so I just decided to try it out. 

I picked a dark cranberry color, almost black, nail polish named "Pat on the Black." When I put on the first layer, the color wasn't very pretty. It looked really watered down, so I decided to put on another layer. I remember someone saying that you need to put two layers to make sure the color comes out pretty. Then I put on the top coat. I waited about 30 minutes - 1 hour for it to dry. I was pretty happy that it was successful with no mess-ups. 

I even went out at night and when I got home, my nails were still pretty. BUT when I woke up this morning, it was ALL MESSED UP. There are unknown scratches everywhere on my nails and it looks like I painted it 2-3 weeks ago.

Despite what happened, I still want to give it another try. "Pat on the Black" - I got you next time.
