Sunshine Nails Novels & Stories

She took a long relaxing bath and went to the saloon with her friend, Shea . The manicure and pedicure along with facial and cleansing and full body wax had been done two days back. The only thing she got done now was cleansing and applying of nude nail polish. Her makeup was done so beautifully. Soft pink lipstick adorned her lips elegantly. Grey lenses on her sabrina eyes made her eyes look even bigger. The Huda beauty lashes were a magic itself.

Moon beams after a while, taking Joanthan's palm in his own hands carefully to blow softly on the fresh-painted nails. Jonathan lifts his hand to watch the pink nail polish shine under the light of his living room. In fact, it shines too much—wait, is that glitter? He wants to laugh because he's not even surprised. Of course, Moon would choose a pink nail polish with glitter. It's so moonlike, really.

Her green eyes roamed over Lydia as she exclaimed, “Oh my God!” Lydia stifled a laugh; she knew her mom would soon comment on her beauty and how she would sweep every male off their feet that evening. It was clear that Lydia resembled her mother, both standing tall and slender, with curves that could captivate anyone. Lydia had inherited Luna Alice's striking green eyes, long tan limbs, pointed nose, and beautifully shaped lips.

It’s my parents' money. “Uh. I should have worn slippers and a beach outfit,” I complained as I felt the sand covering my shoes and trying to bring me down. I felt like I wanted to swim as I heard the waves. Roselia laughed a little. “Don’t worry, lady. We’ll get there soon…” I counted a hundred steps before we reached the ground. Roselia, without removing my blindfold, helped me clean myself from the sand as she guided me to the place where I will be meeting the guy.

She was saying she wanted her eyes just like Pascal, the chameleon from Rapunzel. "You are just the cutest aren't you Rapunzel? Come I'll do your nails then you can do mine, I want rainbow color nails can you do that? Are you up for the challenge?" I said as she was skipping her way to the so called nail station that Angie had set up in front of the TV.

Rachel exclaimed from our closet space. "That is a really bad idea Rach," I chuckled as I spoke. "I think I need a break from using my powers for now," I sat on Rachel's bed as Saiora and Rachel got to work. Rummaging away through our things. Saiora faced me with two small bottles of nail polish in the grasp of her fingers. "So I was thinking, white for your toenails and then black for your finger nails," I nodded immediately at Saiora's suggestions. "Let's go to the bathroom then," I followed her to our bathroom. She stepped aside and made way for me to pass through. I planted myself on our toilet lid and she kneeled starting on my toenails first.

The bleaching that would strip me down and rebuild me into her double. Manicures came next. Pedicures. Nails filed into perfect little shapes, buffed until they shined, painted with colors that caught the light. My wrist throbbed faintly when the manicurist handled it, but I pressed through without a word. The last thing I wanted was for Sienna to panic again.

Then the first strip came off, I screamed. Monica cackled. “Oh, this is fantastic.” Cherry handed me a stress ball. “Focus on Greece. Focus on Greece.” By the time it was over, I felt like a polished seal. Smooth, traumatized, and slightly proud. We moved to the nail section, and I sank into the massage chair while the technician examined my hands. “No,” Monica said immediately. “No neutral beige. She needs Greece nails.” “What are Greece nails?” I asked. Cherry held up a palette. “Ocean blue. Maybe a touch of gold.”

They worked in quiet harmony, hands soft, voices low and soothing. I closed my eyes. Tallia would have hated this. She always said facials were for people who had time to care about pores. Next came the pedicure and manicure. They soaked my feet in warm water scented with eucalyptus and massaged my calves. Painted my nails a deep, glossy burgundy that looked elegant rather than flashy. My hands got the same treatment: short, rounded, and polished to a soft shine. I stared at my fingers.

Then one of them leapt towards me, sharp canines bared. I didn't think or act when it happened. All I knew was that a sudden warmth had enveloped my body from head to toe. I felt my bones begin to shrink and elongate at various places in my body, and I watched as I had my second change ever. Fur sprouted all over my body, my limbs lengthened and claws protruded from my paws.
