Bryony watched as Gemma's nails simply shortened until they were no longer a hinderance, smiling slightly. Perhaps she wouldn't have to get rid of her manicure quite as quickly as she'd thought. "Oh, I'd never have thought of that," she admitted, feeling a little silly. All these treatments were things she associated with her mother and as such they weren't always problems she was willing to put real thought into working around when she could just abandon them as soon as it was convenient. Unlike her face or her clothes, though, she was able to see that she actually had nice nails now that she'd stopped biting them. She wouldn't mind keeping them pretty for a little while - as long as it didn't get in the way of her work.
Noting the black and white pattern of Gemma's nails, Bryony briefly wondered if she were a Magpies fan - but probably not. Black and white was hardly an uncommon combination. "How often do you change the pattern?" she asked. For the first time she was seeing her nails as miniature canvasses that she could decorate any way she wanted. "You must have access to a lot of paints here - and if you come up with something you particularly like you can offer it to customers."
