Britney Cheng -- Chapter One Creative Writing Swiping to the left, nail art photos appear one by one like Victoria’s Secret models’ cat walking, on the runway of my iPad. What design should I put on the little platform on my fingertips next? I’ve been doing this over and over again for ten years non-stop, ideas were drying up like a drop of water in the desert. Brushing my fingers through my wall of nail polish, I tried to pick my next vivid shovel to bury my anxiety of what’s underneath my nail bed. The dark symbols, scribbles Colours are so vibrant, cheerful that I think I could use it for forever to cover up my nails, cover up my sorrow. Filing my nails down has also become my routine before I mask them. I want to minimise the area. …show more content…
I gazed blankly out through the old-wooden windows, then continue leaning forward to the coffee table, painting my other hand. Every once in a while when I’m painting my nails, I would think of my mother, think of the mystery that was not yet solved. “Cover it up with gloves, don’t let it show, don’t let them see and don’t you peek.” My mother’s voice sneaked into my mind, she even made it roll off the tongue well, so I could remember as if I was 12 again. Covering my hands was only necessary when the symbols show up on my nails. My mother would just write a note to the teacher saying I have an allergy and the gloves had treatment in. Taking my gloves off during that time would make me end up suffocating like people that are allergic to peanut. At least all of my teachers believed it. I still don’t get why I couldn't look at the symbols though. Moreover, I will never know without me solving it by myself. Since the only member of the family, my mother had passed away when I was nearly turning 14. “Always remember, my dearest, ” she pointed at my hands that were covered with gloves while lying on the pure white bed with needles in her wrist. “curiosity killed the cat.” Soon after, she left me to this puzzle all on my …show more content…
I took a look who is calling, it is Chelsea! She moved to Brazil two years ago, is she in England now? “Hey, Chel! Are you in Liverpool? What wind brought you here?” “Long time no see! I just arrived, surprise! I am coming for a holiday. Let’s go and grab a drink! We haven’t been in touch for so long.” I knew Chelsea since I was 12, she was the only girl that was friendly to me, even without knowing the reason why I had my gloves on so often. Every other girl thought I was strange and spread out the rumour about me having a disease that’s contagious, but Chelsea doesn’t seem to mind at
O’Connor himself wasn’t partially physically intimidating. This fact became abundantly clear once he stepped off his chair and approached me. While not necessarily short in stature, his seat gave him an extra few inches compared to his natural stance.
Nail designs covered in school or training include full coverage, half-moon, hairline, and free edge. These are basic nail techniques. In modern times, it’s an everyday thing to see a person with acrylic nails. In fact, they have become an integral part of fashion.

People often bond by painting their nails together and talking then, or strike up conversation at later times about the nail polish on someone’s hands. There also may be purely practical reasons why a person paints their nails, such as to prevent one from biting their fingernails, which is detrimental when it gets to a certain point.
You need either three art nails or your own nails, which you paint in any (best) color.
A nail, a short or a long piece of metal, brass or copper that gets hit on the head with a hammer, can be used for so many different purposes. Construction workers, a builder or even a handyman uses nails for building houses, building items such as a bird house or a shed, and even building furniture and making home repairs. I am someone who enjoys hands on activities and I absolutely love building things and a nail is my best friend because without a nail, what would hold a house together? A simple nail is often taken for granted, and does not get the credit it deserves, from its role in history, its many different uses and its role in ultimately helping to shape the world today.
Chanyeol sat back in the smooth, leather seats of the Audi A8 taking a heavy drag of the Purple Kush. The Indica filled his lungs, and he held it there letting the relaxing properties start to course through his body.

He turned up the music, the heavy bass of Mobb Deep flowing through the car.

The dampened ground slowly sunk his feet through the thick, soggy mud as he scoured through the densely packed forest in hope for finding Trent. The tangling vines obstructed Arnold’s path as they clung of the lengthy branches like maggots on a desiccated piece of meat. The thick, misty air occupied his presence in a truly terrifying way that Arnold couldn’t make out anything apart from a glimpse of light that reflected of his jacket’s zip. The only obvious illumination he could make out was the moon as it glared down on him while accompanied with the trillions of dazzling white specs that roamed the night sky. “Where was he?”

I was so moved and inspired by The Help. It was possibly one of the greatest books that I have ever read. I went into reading the book thinking that it was going to be just another piece of literature on the Civil Rights Movement, but it was much more than that. The Help encompasses all aspects of life while portraying the 1960s perfectly. It touched my heart in many ways.
Unlike Jarryd, Riley had a rather pleasant evening when she got home. She was greeted with nothing but silent of the dark house she called home. Her mother wasn't around, which meant she was off being passed around by a group of guys. Nothing for her to worry about, that woman wasn't getting mother of the year any time soon. Or ever.
I woke in a cold sweat, gasping for breath. A low, raspy voice drifted through my window like a calm, quiet wind. It was the voice I had been listening for ever since the last full moon. He was singing his song. The song.
Inside, I was smoldering, and for a moment, everything felt... RED! The windshield wipers squeaked as they whipped furiously back and forth. The sound was almost obnoxious though right now almost everything seemed irritating.
So when I travelled to Europe in 2011, the nail fashion stalls in all the stores had featured sets of French Manicure polishes, pens, stickers and all such things. Following the latest trend, I bought my share of these sets and even on the plane ride back, my sister and I spent hours painting the tips of each others’ nails
