1. You have no idea what colour your natural nails are
Actually that’s a lie. You know they’re stained yellow from years of polish, but you pretend not to notice
2. You’d 100% rather have chipped nails than bare nails
‘Nuff said, really
3. You own so many bottles of top coat
But you always go back to the same one. Even if it has been known to leave a pink tint on your fresh white mani. Will you ever learn?
4. You’ve lost count of the amount of nail polish you own
Three storage boxes full, yet you still insist on buying more whenever you go shopping. YOU’LL NEVER HAVE ENOUGH
5. No, all 27 bottles of red you own aren’t the same colour
OK? Good. Glad we cleared that one up
6. And chances are, you probably only own one, single, lonely nail file
Maybe because you still haven’t mastered the art of filing your own nails
7. Cleaning up a paint job in the shower is so satisfying
Is there anything better than using the warm water to help scratch dried polish off the skin around your nails?
8. There’s nothing more annoying than when your fave polish goes gloopy
SIGH.
9. You know it’s bad when you flood your cuticles
But sometimes you just can’t be bothered to fix it
10. You know there’s nothing worse than painting before bed
Because you just know you’ll be waking up to PILLOW PRINT NAILS. Why isn’t it possible to stay laid in the same position all night?
11. Despite everything, you’ll probably never sort your own cuticles out
Sure, they might look a big scraggly but it’s best to leave that job to the professionals because who can deal with them bleeding?
12. But there’s no better feeling than a fresh mani
