My Ripponburn ladies 8:14

Well, after all these months I found out today that Ida is in fact Ina. How embarrassing. Her husband just passed last week. I found that out when my contact called me to reschedule from every other Friday to every other Tuesday. That is fine by me. I am pretty flexible with all the little jobs I have (except Saturdays which are now craft faire days). And Ina did not show up today. She was in her room being private.

I did have a big room full, though, and the sun was streaming in! A couple of men folk were also there but they ran away - for fear of getting glammed up! Dorothy only wanted a touch up (which I did, but still added glitter!). I brought some more autumnal colours this time and Helly (and Jenny) both went for Skyfall – a beautiful brick red. Really luscious. I did only do one coat on Jenny. She is quite impatient – and was knitting the whole time! Hard to keep her hands still and, most likely, the polish had smeared in no time. Oh well. The red covers well, though, so it still looked good!

Next time I will have to have an earnest word with Joan! This pink obsession must stop!!!! Ha! It probably is the best colour for her, but still. Joyce stayed around long enough for her nails. She only wanted something very slight and I think that simple layer of glitter works well. She has such pretty nails and hands - she could wear so much more.

Lilian (way top) was more adventurous and she does love blue. I doubled up on that great slate blue from CND with an almost tone-in-tone glitter. Looks fab! Gladys let me do anything and I had brought pale yellow and some matching glitter. She is still biting her nails (though won't admit it) - but only on one hand!! Funny. Poor Lena is almost blind but wanted a bright red. Proves you want to feel pretty at any age or shape.

Joan the 2nd was a bit more confused. Don't know if that will be an ongoing concern, or just her mood for the day. I really like her mani, though. Another tone-in-tone glitter one. And Margaret wanted something pale, yet elegant. Nellie was last. So patient. Her mani looks absolutely fab! The purple and the glitter. Wow. May have to wear this myself! So, that was 11 manis in two hours. Flew by - and am back in two weeks!
