Nail Wheel Wednesday in recent weeks has been an exercise in "finished is better than perfect". I'm still unpacking polish from the big move (thousands of bottles takes time, especially since they're in my studio down in town and during ski season it's hard to get motivated to leave the mountain), so what I have to choose from when I paint a wheel is just what's been unpacked and semi-sorted. I can't be sure that the 20 bottles I choose for any given wheel wouldn't better be matched with ones still to be pulled out of boxes. Yet I know if I wait until everything's out and sorted, I'll miss weeks and weeks of Wednesdays. So I push on, imperfectly. This is easier than it used to be for me; in decades past, I'd choose to do nothing if I feared I couldn't do something well. I'm glad I'm getting better at telling my inner perfectionist to chill. Obviously I still have plenty of room for improvement on that score, since I've just written this whole paragraph about my inner turmoil rather than just getting to the polish.
As for the polish, today I have all glitters from OPI.
(My notes don't say anything about topcoat, though I usually do add it to glitter wheels, so I don't know. Maybe I've let go of my perfectionism too much.)
