Bright red nails, finger and toes done up...out in the world.

I took my next step.  Friday afternoon, after work, I painted all my nails in a "fire engine red" and said that I wasn't going to remove the color until Monday morning.  We went out yesterday to pick up some online auction purchases and I was worried about how I'd be (I had brought the bottle of remover and two cotton balls as an emergency "out" if I couldn't handle it.) but after I started gathering our treasures I just did my thing and didn't think about my nails.  My very supportive spouse said that most people won't even notice and would be even less likely to comment because it be pretty rotten to call out someone in public.  I learned that our own biggest enemy, critic or fearmonger can be ourselves.
