Blank Canvas

I need to start with an apology since I have not been posting much as of late.  I must confess:  I have been SO uninspired to paint my nails in the past week or so.  I would sit down to do something spicy and then just sit and stare at my nail polish stash as if it has all the answers I am looking for.  I would read what others are up to with their nail polish, but nothing sparked.  Over the weekend, I sat down thinking if I just sit down and kick out a great manicure in a color I love...usually in blue...that would do it.  But no, I would just do a sloppy job.  So that had to go!  My go to, love it, looks hard but isn't is typically anything with dots.  I actually started a cute pink and black dottie manicure the other day, but then it took a turn for the worst and began to look like garbage.  So I scrapped that too.  What is happening to me?  Am I nail depressed?  So uninspired that I can't paint my nails without going off the road and all over my cuticles??  Are nail polish and I breaking up????

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This can't happen. 

I am taking back my nail mojo.  I need to utilize this time, shift my thinking a bit.  I am using this week to air out my nails and let them breathe for a bit.  If I can't figure out what I would like them to look like, then maybe they should stay naked.  A blank canvas for a bit.  Blank canvases are wonderful because they imply that possibility is infinite.  Instead of taking off one manicure to replace with another, I am going to tap into my blank canvas.

How do you pull yourself through those times where nothing seems right for you nails? Those moments when nothing inspires you?
