Dazzle Toes!!!

OK, may I just be honest and say that I suffer from a slight affliction of the vanity.  I like to be aesthetically pleasing, to say the least.  Anyway, this summer I have favored a pale pinkish toe nail polish by OPI called "I Pink I Love You".  However, I find that a pale pink polish responds negatively to the pool's mix of chlorine/bromine.  It seems to fade and then chip really fast.  Now, bright colors do not necessarily do this, but like I said, this is a pale pink summer for me, and between the running and the swimming, my toes are taking a beating.  

So, I swim in a morning swim class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday that is quite challenging. When I started attending this masters level class, my 100 times started dropping.  This week for instance I swam 1:25s for about 5 hundreds, before finishing the eight remaining hundreds at 1:30ish.  Confession:  I pretty much died at the end.  It was a great workout however.  Anyway, after we finished out Monday swim (a 3500 yard workout), I noticed that Jaimie, who leads our masters swim class had a beautiful French Pedicure.  I immediately asked her how she maintained her pedicure in the pool.  She told me, and I admit I am still stunned by the information, THAT THE NAILS WERE FAKE AND SHE BOUGHT THEM AT THE GROCERY STORE.  Well,  you could have knocked me over with a feather.  Shock and Awe, my friends.  Shock and Awe.  SO, I immediately went to my local Publix and purchased a set of Dazzle Toes for approximately six dollars, and I could not be more thrilled with the results.  THRILLED, I tell you.  

I sat down after the baby went to bed, and glued and filed the fakes into the perfect French Pedicure.  I ran in them this morning, and the pedicure held up perfectly.  Tomorrow will be the real test when I do kick drills with flippers.  Flippers are the real test of any pedicure and many a pedicure of mine has not been man enough to withstand flippers.  Jamie says her fake French Pedicure holds up under the stress of flippers.  I will have to see. I will let you know this very important information tomorrow.  

I posted four pictures of my toes.  I was afraid that one picture would not convey the splendor of my supermodel toes in gold strappy sandals.
