If you’re a girl who always (or frequently) wears nail polish, you’ll know that nail polish is simply a way of life. There’s nothing anyone can do or say that’ll change your mind about it.
- Nail polish is better and cheaper than therapy.
- You really can’t have enough colors.
- When someone says two similar (but different shades) are the same… You throw them even more shade.
- But they’re the same color! No, they are not.
- Leaving the house without nail polish might as well be leaving the house without clothes on…
- Because plain fingernails are an ungodly sight.
- People are constantly complimenting you on your choice of nail polish…
- Where’d you get that?! Wouldn’t they like to know.
- You never let a guy see your feet without nail polish on your toes…
- You’d actually rather die.
- When all else fails, black nail polish always has your back.
- You know better than to go to bed without your nail polish fully dried…
- But there have been times when you wake up with your nails stuck to your sheets.
- You’ve learned the careful art of doing things while waiting them to dry WITHOUT fudging them up…
- And there’s no excruciating hell that compares to putting on your outfit with wet nail polish.
- Not to mention, you match all your outfits to your nail polish.
- When you get nervous or anxious, you always manage to ruin your manicure and pick it off entirely.
- You start to have minor mental breakdowns when the manicurist asks you to pick your color…
- You wanna try something new but also something classic and suddenly you need to pick between OPI and Essie and the entire world is falling apart.
- You know that others are yet to learn what skin tone goes well with what color…
- Contrast, people, contrast.
- There was nothing like wearing a totally outrageous color when you were younger just to piss your mom off.
- Honey go for the natural hues, she’d say. Hmmm, how bout no?
- The majority of your Instagram feed is nail art.
- And as much as you hate taking off glitter nail polish, there’s just no way to resist.
- Life without nail polish would be so blah.
- People say all you need is Netflix and wine…
- But what they don’t know is that doing your nails while Netflix and wine-ing is the secret ingredient to a good life.
