Yikes, beethovenstraat is a stainer! I should have expected that given the yellowness, though, especially since this mani lasted from Sunday until last night when I used the Cheshire shower jelly from Fortune Cookie Soap (it has chunks of red dye in it, and that stuff stained my nails and made it look like I had blood smears all over them, which would be great for Halloween, but it's not so hot in April). But it turns out I need to chop my nails off anyway (some of them are getting so long that I know they're going to be breaking off in the bed area unless I crop them, so I might as well do that as soon as I post this), so it's not a huge deal. And given how short I'm going to be cutting my nails, I already know my next color: p.c. hooftstraat. I pretty much only wear rich, dark colors like this one when my nails have just been trimmed down to nothing! I just feel weird with long, dark nails. My nail grow so quickly that I pretty much only have about a week every month and a half or so when I can wear them, so I try to take advantage of it when I can.
