Anyway, I am trying to get into the World Cup spirit. My original plan was to paint the nails on one foot red, white, and blue and the ones on the other foot green, blue, and yellow. I am going to cheer for both Brazil and the US.
I was hoping to have them finished last night but I wasted a bunch of time looking for my green nail polish and only had 15 minutes before my private English student would arrive. I resolved to just do red, white, and blue for the US.
I decided vertical stripes would be the easiest to do. To my surprise, I managed to pull off the paint job in 10 minutes.
I was so proud of my toes! Sure it'd draw attention to my beast feet but who cares. It's the World Cup! I ran out to show them to my husband. Got to love him. He asked me if I was French.
Can you believe that I didn't even notice that I painted the French flag on my toes until that moment. I just saw red, white, and blue stripes for the US, of course.
So I'm off to re-polish my nails. I'll still use red, white, and blue but in a more obvious American pattern. Until then, I'll be wearing closed toes shoes. France won the world cup over Brazil in 1998 and also got Brazil kicked out of the running in 2006 after a 0 - 1 win. I think it's safer to be American.
