Project Pinterest: The Power of Pam

Today I'm linking up with ILYMTC for Project Pinterest. 

I really need to go through all my pins and organize them one day. 

But until then I'll keep dreaming and pinning until my heart desires...
or until I can't keep my eyes open anymore, which is usually the case. 

I was just telling my mom the other day that I probably have multiple things pinned multiple times and have no idea.

Memory? What's that?

And my dad sarcastically chimed in about how completely crazy that would be.

Seriously living life on the wild side over here. 

I might have things pinned not once, but twice. 

Anyways, I pin lots of "tips and tricks" with hopes of one day applying them. 

I've always been a huge fan of painted nails.

I feel like a boy when they aren't painted. 

I've pretty much been painting my nails on a weekly basis, sometimes more than once, since as long as I can remember. 

Until I had my sweet baby girl who now keeps me and busy and distracted.

So when I do have free time the last thing I want to do is spend 30 minutes on painting my nails, letting them dry, becoming impatient, smudging them, complete frustration, repaint, repeat, repeat. 

In fact, the other day when I painted them it had been so long that it looked like a 5 year old had done them.

Talk about frustration.

I could not get the polish on just my nail. 

I was so annoyed. 

So I found this new trick on pinterest. 

Leave it to Real Simple {one of my favorite mags} to share this trick!

I'm pretty bummed that I am just discovering this now, at nearly a quarter of a century old, but I'm choosing to dwell on my current state of amazement instead. 

1. You paint your nails.

and try your best to stay "in the lines".

2. You spray them with Pam.

Then you take a picture and realize how wrinkly and chubby your fingers look.

{added bonus, Pam makes your ring really sparkly}

And voila. 
You can wipe them and the nail polish is dry!!! 

How amazing is that?!?! 

I waited like a minute to rinse them off, just in case. 

I do touch them right after though and they're seriously d.r.y. 

I'm still in shock. 

So of course, I had to paint them the next day too because this trick is just way too cool. 

At this point I could potentially wear a new color every day if I really wanted to {taking this new wild life to a whole new level, right?!}. 
It takes like 5 minutes. 

And I've also discovered a new way to showcase the trick without displaying the wrinkled stubs. 

Phew.
