The Betting Pool

Just for fun (not real gambling for any sourpuss' out there);
I have a competition going with myself to see how long I can grow my natural fingernails. They are getting so long it is making it very hard to type and do daily tasks (scratching bug bites has been lovely though!). Usually they snap off by now or I get annoyed and hack them off so I've started counting down the minutes until this happens and thought some of you might want to join in.

We'll make this a typical betting pool to see who can get the closest. Pick your day & which finger nail you think I will snap off first (or if you think I'll clip them all off in a mad fury!!! muwah ha ha ha) I'll update the bets below the photo as they come in
Whoever gets the closest...WINS!!! (winner will get something spiffy from me)

I need a little more of a backstory, Emily. Are those your own nails or are they acrylics? Did you paint the undersides as well as the tops?

They are indeed 100% my real nails (no additions) and I have only painted the topside tips pink, nothing else they are very thick, I can open soda cans with them and I have yet to meet anyone who's nails have kungfu like mine! LOL

My nails are way too long and I just know I'm about to tear one any moment now, so I can totally relate to this pool. Okay....I say your ring finger's nail on the left hand will be the first to go and it will happen September 9.

Em, I have kung fu nails too...I use my thumbnail as a screwdriver all the time.
My nails laugh at pop-top cans. I have to trim them every 2 weeks during the summer.

right index finger 9/18

What does the correct date chooser win?

I love gun-jumping! Of course, I agree with Jay and hope your nails don't break, at all, in September...that would be ideal.

Okay, I'm gonna jump in here for the fun of it! I think you'll make it through Sept, but not October, sometime around the middle, say the sixteenth and it'll be the right index finger. Hope I win something wonderful!

Both of these posts were made at 12:14am (EST) how awesome would it have been if the 2nd post was you saying your nail broke, to have the 1st and last post of the contest happened at the same excat time .
