With all of the Kate Winslet-metallic-polish talk, this morning, my eyes couldn't help but drift to my own hands (which have been furiously working the ol' keyboard) in shame. Here's why: Remember that gold manicure that I posted about recently? Well, I'm still wearing it even though it's no longer in the world's best shape.

I've just been too lazy to take it off and now it's gotten to the point of full-on embarrassing. See?

Not so pretty anymore. Now, excuse me while I go hunt down my nail polish remover.

Anyone else in this camp at the moment? How chippy do you usually let your polish get before you take it off? Are you someone who always fixes her little nail imperfects the second they happen? Let me know!

p.s. Here's how to take off dark polish. And be sure to pick out the neutral shades your fellow readers adore.
