Perhaps this is a stupid question and you have a perfectly reasonable explanation for me, but why do you HAVE to wear white shirts?

Not a stupid question, just a stupid answer:

Short answer: Company "dresscode:" khaki pants, white shirt, and a black apron (because they're too cheap to provide us with shirts anymore)

Long answer: I worked at Hallmark for a few years while I was in college. Christmas is always short-staffed, so they asked me to come back and work Christmas this year. And since I'm a deadbeat with nothing BETTER to do... sigh. And work clothes now consists of khaki pants, a white shirt, and a black apron. ... All of my white shirts eventually get turned into homemade t-shirts (I've already got plans for these ones when I'm done with the season. "Velociraptor X-ing" shirts will come) so I needed some blank white ones

Dude, for the past few months working at that stupid cupcake store I couldn't wear nail polish!!!!!!! It drove me nuts not being able to decorate my hands. Sally Hansen is awesome.
You should try marbling. It's fun if you have some time.

Yeah, I have a good friend who's recently gotten into a nail polish kick and I'm always green with envy over how amazing and fabulous her nails are. Enough that I went through and checked my old nail polish bottles to realize they were all dried out and nasty, so... time to buy some more! I'm not quite sure what the rules on nails are for Hallmark, but I'll find out! And like, it's not like I'm a) offending anybody, or b) breaking "dresscode" any other way. I've gotta rebel SOMEhow, and so long as my nails aren't nasty and grossly-chipped, I think I should be fine. Right? LOL

And OOOOooooh definitely will try marbling, though I have a lovely tendency to royally botch these sorts of projects up. A+ for the videolink, Ms. Deiudicisaurus!
