It has been one of those weeks. I was unmotivated, lethargic, but extremely restless. Half the time, I tried one of the many nail ideas flitting through my head but none of them looked right; the other half I just couldn’t bring myself to even try. Do you ever have those days? Weeks? Months, maybe? I wouldn’t call it depression, I thought it was more of a flare. My eyes were more dry than usual, the skin on my lips flaked off and I was uncharacteristically fatigued (even though my joint pain was minimal).
Regardless, I sat down and pushed through this strange phase and went with a quick, RA-friendly waterfall look. I had no particular feelings for this nail art (ah, motivation) but I did like how it came out. I hope you do too!

Hi, my name is Monica and I have RA.

Yes! I have days, weeks, months as you describe too. Occasionally I can find a way to push through and create nail art…but it rarely gets to be in front of the camera or even past the upload to the computer because I usually can’t like it enough to share. However, I’m impressed with your waterfall nail art, it doesn’t show that you weren’t feeling well!! Love the colors you used too!! 🙂

Thanks Kim, I really appreciate it!! I totally feel that…sometimes I get to the nail art and photograph it but couldn’t be bothered to upload it! My biggest issue with this look was my hand was so shaky my lines kept going every which way but I think I tweaked the look enough it’s not too noticeable!
