GAME DAY PREP: NAILS

Transcript

I'm an NFL cheerleader for the Jacksonville Jaguars and we have a game this week, but my nails are not in uniform compliance. My name is on Friday and I'm in law school and I have an internship and we have practice, so I don't have time to go to the nail salon. They are so bad. Like, for one, they're orange, two, they're grown out, but I only have one option and that is to try to paint them light pink over the orange. I think I'm gonna have to paint them still grown out. There's no way that you can cover that. It's gonna be really bad. This one also is broken and it has been bothering me for two weeks, but again, I haven't had the time to go to the nail salon. I also have never really been good at painting my own nails. Oh my god. This is the lightest light pink I have ever seen in my life. No chance this is gonna work. Never mind. So now I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry. I'm about to crash out, so bye.
