After a great day at the spa with mani, pedi, facial and full waxing of the legs I was spotted by a SA in a mall. I went to the mall (always in drab, never been out) to buy some matte polish to put over my beautifully manicured shiny nails before going to my conservative office on Monday. After I bought it at the make up store without any hitches I walked across the mall towards my car only to be stopped by an eager SA of a beauty stall in the middle of the mall. In her eagerness to sell me what turned out to be some nail buffer, she grabbed my hand (I guess to work some magic on my nails). She was shocked by the perfect shiny manicured hands and could only ask me in shock what I had put in them. I told her about my base, two coats of light pink polish (French rose) and a shiny top coat, followed by a feigned disbelief comment of “what, don’t you like them?” She recovered well with “I love them” and tried to show her magic buffer on her own nails.
I loved owning it!
Truth be told, lately I don’t think I have a problem owning it in front of total strangers, but to friends, family (except my wife) and co-workers I just can’t. Maybe one day...
