Yep that make sense... lets try it!

I guess before I start my first blog I should say if these things have worked for you then that is great! I am just sharing my side of things.

So let me get this party started. A while back I was perusing Pintrest happy as a clam when I came across this pin that said "dry nail polish super fast by soaking your just polished nails in ice water for 3 minutes." Hmmmm... Putting something in water to make it dry? Yep that makes sense, let's try it!

So I spent about 2 minutes painting my left hand, then 10 minutes painting my right hand and... ooops forgot my bowl of ice water so I very carefully pulled out a bowl careful not to smudge my nails and filled it with ice and cold water. Gave it a little stir to make sure is super cold and then I took the plunge.

Now if you haven't thought of dipping your fingers in ice water and holding them there for 3 minutes then good for you, you my friend aren't an idiot. Because I will be frank with you, IT SUCKS! It is just uncomfortable for about the first minute then the pain starts setting in. You know, that freezing cold pain where you are certain frost bite is going to take one of your appendages? Yeah that kind of pain. Well there I am still putting my hands through this stupid torture because remember the WATER will make them Dry. Still making sense to me...

Ding ding ding, 3 minutes is up! YAY! Now that my fingers are numb and I have no sensation in my fingertips I think it's brilliant to check them to see if it had worked. Yep you guessed it. Didn't work like a charm! Now I have frozen numb fingers with even wetter nails with smudges and the inability to paint my nails again for a while do to numbness!

My name is Emily and I am a Pintrest Failure!

Hi! I am Emily and I am a Pintrest failure. Are you familiar with Pintrest? You know that handy website where you can find any DIY craft and home remedy that ever was posted on the Internet? The same website where you can become the MacGyver of clearing acne and building a winter wonderland with items from under your sink like glue and q-tips and it looks like the cover of a Martha Stewart magazine.

Well I, like you was drawn in by the pretty colors and simplicity of all these projects, actually I still am. I spend more time than I'd like to admit on the website. How could you not? Its just so cool but I am here to debunk it all! OK not all of it. I have found some things that work and I will throw some wins in there too but this blog will be mainly for proving that the people that do some of these crafts and make them look sooooo easy are actually descendants of Snow White and probably can communicate with deer and birds. Because the I can't make it work!... Freaks!
