This morning I was making my lunch, as I do on any work day. I'm organised like that; make sarnies in the morning and I don't have to forage for food at lunchtime.
Anyway, as I was buttering my bread I looked up and saw my wife gazing at me with a lovely smile on her face.
And I smiled back and thought: "What a lucky guy I am."
And then I saw her eyes moving over my face and I said: "You're checking me for residual make-up, aren't you?"
"Yes," she said.
What a lucky guy I am.
Yes, I was off out trannying last night, and managed to do another cliche. Strictly it's one I've done before, a long time ago at a dressing service, but that's one best left forgotten, far back in the mists of time. This time I did it well. And Mrs Rachel did it too. No pictures of that, though. Not for you lot, anyway :-)
But to return to the original theme of this post, there's no residual makeup, but both Mrs Rachel and I still have red staining on our fingers from the nail varnish we wore. We really are going to have to find a better quality red varnish. I can't use the "I've been painting model soldiers again" excuse every time ...

LOL! Its an excuse I've used too :)
Yay for tranny cliches! What do you still have on the list?
I haven't done maid or bride yet, but I don't have the official checklist to hand...
*Is* there an official checklist? I'd love to see it :-)
I haven't done Nurse or French Maid yet. Perhaps one day ...
Undercoat of clear varnish will help with the red staining.
I did that Jane. And still got stained :-)

Posting a letter at midnight (in heels) seems a common one. :)
Have you tried the nail varnish base coat from Max Factor? That seems to keep the stain off.
Blimey, I havent done any of those cliche's. If someone does have a official check list could they pass it on.
It does seem everyones used the paint excuse, don't think I was believed though.
I've had a go at a basic list. Opinions are welcome.
Good ideas will be added to the list (and credited!)
Base coat, then apply yhe polish near, but not to the edges of the nail. Makes the nails look longer as well
