I am a martial artist and I *know* better than to do my nails the same day I train jiu jitsu (I have a super grip-heavy grappling style and polish isn’t fully cured for about 24 hours) but! I didn’t plan on training tonight and I had a free hour before work this morning so I threw on a fun little green gradient.
Then this afternoon my husband reminded me some of my friends are competing soon and I should get in there to give them training rounds. So here I am. Glad I went but so sad this mani only had 12 hours to shine. I’m training tomorrow as well so I guess I’ll take it off and give my poor battered fingers a good hot oil soak tonight.
At the end of the day this is such a minor issue but I’m still sad over it. Oh well at least they looked fly with my turquoise gi while I fought a man? 💅

You get to wear a turquoise gi? Super jelly! Those nails were pretty cute too, I’d be bummed if mine got smooshed. But I get it, I ABC (always be choking) when rolling, gotta sneak those hands in somewhere.
