In an effort to use up the chicken we had in our fridge before our weekend vacation to Atlanta, dinner tonight included freezer food + chicken!
I topped a Newman’s Own thin and crispy white pizza with chopped chicken breasts and split the pizza with Ryan.
Holy moly this pizza was good. I’m not sure what is in the white sauce that was on the Newman’s Own pizza, but it was smokin’!
Ryan and I ate our pizzas while missing Sadie. I think we’re a little too used to her grubby little face being all up in our business as we eat. Charming.
Fingers and Toes
After dinner, in preparation for our weekend in Atlanta, I gave myself an at-Okay, so I just painted my toes and slapped some of those new Sally Hansen salon effects nail polish strips on my fingers home manicure and pedicure.
(Side note: I’m not sure how it’s possible to have a freakishly small ring size – I’m a 4.5 – and still have manly looking hands. Somehow I defy the odds.)
The salon effects strips for your nails are pretty cool, but I think my lack of nail care experience made them harder for me to work with than they should’ve been. My nails already look a little peely, and I know many other people who have used the strips and they’ve turned out perfectly. A few extra strips came in the kit so I may do some repairs in the car en route to Atlanta tomorrow.
When my nails were done I realized that while both my finger and toenails were pink, I made sure to make them different shades of pink. For some reason I am not a fan of matchy matchy fingers and toes. Is this weird?
Time to pack. Groooooooooan.

I am sooo the opposite….I HAVE to have them matchy matchy. I like everything even lol
it’s not weird at all.. I always go more outrageous with the color on my toes !
NO! im the same way! i got a mani pedi yesterday actualy and my nails are almost the exact same color but my toes are a pastel blue!.. i defs dnt like them to match.. btw ur toes are TINY!!
Newman’s Own are my favorite frozen pizzas!
I LOVE the coral on your nails. I ususally go bolder with my toes than my fingies!
fingers and toes should never ever ever match. Sort of like you should never wear overalls with only a bra underneath. Well, nothing like that, but still….
I think you have pretty hands!! but to be honest, my hands are kinda manly (and proud of it! kind of haha) but I think I have 4 ring size!! but then again, I’m short too 😛
I never do matchy matchy nails. I own over 80 shades of polish so I switch it up a lot. Your pizza looks awesome!
never matchy-matchy. glad i’m not alone – the manicurist always looks at me like “WHAT?!?!? YOU DON’T WANT THE SAME ON YOUR FINGERS?!?!” so i thought i was weird.
Julie,
Thats funny I got a manicure and pedicure for my bachelorette weekend in Vegas and did light pink nails and fuschia toes because i think matchy matchy is BORING 🙂
I’m the same way as Steph, I’ll always go a little more outrageous with my toe color. I also am a huge fan of french pedicures, but could really care less about french manicures. Matchy matchy is sometimes ok, but if I won’t go matchy matchy, I won’t even try to go close to it, I’d rather be totally different than being of a similar color but off by like, 3 shades. Inner OCD nail lady coming out? Now and then.
Your mouse story this morning was super creepy! I feel so bad for you guys!
Ok so I have to ask, because we seem to be around the same size and our men are both much larger than us, but do you ever feel like you are eating the SAME amount of food as Ryan? I do a lot more cardio than Paul, but he lifts a ton of weights, and I always feel like I am eating the same amount of food as him at meals. For example, that pizza you had for dinner, we would probably split it half and half! Is is just me?! 🙂
honestly, a lot of the time our meals sizes are the same, but he eats larger snacks than i do… or the protein portion of his meal will be 2x mine. like, for this pizza, we split the pizza down the middle, but he had an EXTRA chicken breast on the side. 🙂 the man loves his protein.
Lindsey! I have the same issue, my husband and I eat similar size portions! He defintely snacks more than I do, but I still think it’s crazy! I mean, he’s a good 60 lbs heavier than me lol. I honestly just out ate him in a ravioli dinner 🙂
sorry to jump in on this one, i’m single at the moment, but i’ve got lots of guy friends and i always seem to be eating the same as them! i think you’re all right in they must snack more than me/us but i often ask them, “so you’re full off of what you just ate for dinner?” and they yes but it mystifies me because i ate the same amount (if not more) and could still go for more! just glad to hear i’m not alone. 🙂
I’m not a matchy-matchy girl, either (I might do bright red on fingers and toes if I REALLY wanted the bold statement, but that would be rare). I do like my fingers and toes to compliment each other, and I usually do one light color and one darker color.
I want to try those Sally Hansen strips, I’ve seen some nice DIY manicures!
I’m a 4.5 also! 🙂
Ooh, is that the ‘cry baby’ color on your hands? i love that one! embarrasingly, i also really want to try the suuuper glittery/sparkly ones, too.
WOW…we’re having pizza tonight, AND I am doing a mani/pedi on myself! Talk about coincidence!
I am a fan of the matchy-matchy. I either like them to match, or they at least have to kind, sorta coordinate. I’m boring, I know.
good job on the not matchy matchy. I heard it’s BAD LUCK to have matching toes and fingers – so you’re good to go! 🙂
I never match my hands and toes, it makes me feel too put together, and I am anything but that haha 🙂
i dont mind matchy-matchy but whenever i get a mani/pedi (which is like once every 5 yrs) i always get two different colors. i like doing a more wild color on my toes.. love me a good party on my toes!
I have really really small fingers too! The jeweler told my then-fiance, now husband, that he was lucky! Hah. I am a 4.5 too.
I kinda like matchey matchey sometimes….depends on my mood!
I always go CRAZY colour on the toes and nutral on the nails! My dog always gets up in my face when we eat, she’s actually doing it right now as I snack/blog 🙂
I actually just did a home mani/pedi today too! I always use the same color on both because if I didn’t I’d have an OCD attack lol. I love the color on your toes!
BTW, I must ask…where did you find Newman’s Own frozen pizza??? I love the brand but have never seen them!
Enjoy your Atlanta adventure!
i bought ours at publix!
I actually prefer my fingers and toes to match! I’m not sure why, but I feel weird if they don’t. Most of the time I just have nail color on my toes though because my fingers chip so easily!
I HATE when my toes and fingers match! You’re not alone.
And I wear a size 4 ring, but a size 9.5 shoe. Even weirder, right?
I have a 3.5 ring size but SUPER long fingers and hands. LoL Don’t worry, you are not alone.
mine never match and i like it that way! i really want to try some of those strips, i like the flowery one. have fun in atlanta!
I never having matching fingers and toes! I prefer being surrounded by lots of different bright colors instead of the same on both, you know?
I also hate packing! It’s kind of ridiculous considering I end up packing a suitcase every month due to my relationship being long distance haha but still i groan each time.
I hate matching toes and fingers. I hardly ever have manicures but if I do I keep it light/clear on my fingers but always have bright colors on my toes 🙂
It seems like a lot of people like to have the polish on their toes and nails matching, but I am not one of them.
I usually pick a brighter/bolder color for my toes and have something more neutral on my hands. Although right now my fingers have a pretty bright pink of them. I painted them a fun color for my marathon last Saturday!
I know that Newman’s pizza is SO GOOD.
Also, pbfingers helped inspire me to create my own blog…first post was today! thank you!
Definitely not weird! I never use the same color on my fingers as my toes. I like to mix it up!
I posted about painting my nails last night too lol It’s such a rare occurrence for me so I felt it was appropriate 😉
That’s the color of Sally Hansen nails I can’t find! Where did you find them? The other colors kind of scare me. I don’t need to look like a hooker at work.
I don’t think you have manly hands at all – they actually look similar to mine and I was once told I could be a hand model (TRUE STORY – although that person *might* have been high. There’s no telling.)
they were smokin’ the hash. there’s no doubt about it. 😉 and i found that color at the walgreens on bumby and colonial! i got it about 2 weeks ago!
I don’t like matchy-match fingers and toes either, so no worries! I really highly doubt anyone notices…
You do not have manly hands! I’ve seen WAYYYYY worse…trust me. I don’t like matchy matchy fingers and toes either. They should be two separate and awesome colors. Your positivity about your health inspired me to write a thank you to my body today on my blog….it’s amazing how highlighting the great things about yourself can make you feel so much more confident!
I hope I don’t offend anyone by saying this, but the only thing worse than matchy matchy nails to me are french manicures. Both just seem so outdated. But, to each their own!
I don’t do matchy matchy nails either!
I don’t match either. I Usually like more fun colors on my toes and a pale pink on my hands. I tend to get annoyed quickly by bright colors on my hands.
I LOVE the sally Hansen nail polish strips. I’ve only tried metallic colors which I read are a little easier to apply. Also if you stretch them a bit once you get the initial stick, I’ve noticed they look a little better. Either way it takes some practice!!
I never match. I used to in high school. but now I do totally different things. AND i change my finger nail polish much more often then my toes!
I mix i up depending on my mood. My nails are always a french manicure, never white though, I have to have color. My favorite is blue tips and blue toes. I was blessed with my mom’s hands and nails. Polish always looks good. However, while people assume I’m a lot younger then I am, my hands give me away everytime. Not sure if that is good or bad.
I think your nails look good!! I like the colors and I’ve been wanting to try those too. I also do the same thing (if i even paint my finger nails), I usually pick a color that will go well with whats on my toes, but isn’t the same. I have a light and dark purple combo (called Fig and Prune, actually) that I like to use. And then cover both of them with a clear shimmer polish. I’m not addicted to sparkles, I swear.
I occasionally have different colored toes and fingers, but usually I try to keep them matched 🙂
I love your ring almost as much as I love mine! 😉 I think my ring size is a 4.75. When my hubby proposed, I’d told him I was a 7 (for some reason I thought it was the same as my shoe size… I have no idea why).
Sometimes, when I get a new color I really like, I’ll do my hands and toes the same. I don’t paint my fingernails much because they chip right away but I like glittery ones for nails because they don’t seem to show chips as much.
I never match my fingers and toes.
I am dying right now, cause I love your toes!! Plus, my toes look just like yours! =]
I’m the same way, I do not like matching my fingers and toes. They just don’t look right… =T
I’ve been dying to try those salon effects peelys, but every time I go to the drugstore, they are out! I really want to try the leopard and zebra stripes!
Not weird at all! I like them to not match too! And you’re not the only one with freakishly small fingers — my left hand ring finger is 4.25 and my right is 4.5! I don’t think mine look manly though — and neither do yours silly!!
I don’tlike my to2 and finer nail polishes matching either! I do like them to be somewhat coordinated though! I didn’t realize it was the odd thing to do until a guy friend pointed out that my “toes don’t match [my] fingers!” 🙁 but of course I argued, “of course they do! French tip and teal? French tip matches everything!” Haha, I’m glad your toes and nails are both shades of pink! Phew!
I’m not into the matchy matchy either. I have too many nail polish colors that I love, so by avoiding the perfect match, I can enjoy more than one at a time!
I’ve been dying to try those Salon Effects Strips – and have been driving salespeople insane trying to find them. But they’re completely MIA where I live! Ugh!
I usually like a more bold color on my toes. It’s less in your face than if I had it on my hands.
And whoah-that pizza looks AMAZING. I usually turn my nose up at freezer pizza, but I will definitely be looking for that next time I’m at the market!
I’m a ring size four… our rings should be cheaper!
