![]() NailsA Story by Clara KevieI was at a store the other day
looking at nail polish because I had a fancy thing to go to and I needed nail
polish. Have you ever looked at nail polish? This store had a whole isle of
nail polish! I just need one! They had enough for everyone in the county to
take one. I’m serious; there were so many bottles. You’d think they’d have the
colors of the rainbow and light and darker variations, and that’s it because
you can’t have more colors than that. Well, there was one section that has
colors like that, but there were also metallic polishes"if you really want to
attract someone"and there was a whole other section for varying degrees of
sparkliness. Like, the color gradient of nail polish is roygbiv, black, white,
and sparkle. And there are textured ones, too! I just always assumed if there
was texture, I just wasn’t very good at applying it. They have polish that
cracks. I think some freethinking employee messed up the formula one day and’s
just like, “No! It’s art! They’ll love it! Just sell it in different bottles
and don’t fire me!” …I thought when the polish started cracking, that means
you’re supposed to take it off. They have stuff that cracks on purpose! Also,
there are degrees of texture"it’s like the 4th dimension of nail
polish. Again, I thought you just weren’t applying it well, or it was old if it
had texture, but whatever. They have polish that’s textured like sand. I tried
it, and it went on like normal polish. I waited for it to dry, and I felt it…
and yeah… it feels sandpaper-esque… okay… now what? Is there some hidden
practicality? I’ll just run up to my friends like, “OMG feel my nails!” and
they’ll be in awe like, “OMG they totally feel like sand.” …if I’m going to a
party on the beach, it’d totally match! Or if I have an itch on my nose, I
could scratch it really well! Or if I’m bored in school, I can just exfoliate
myself to stay awake. Like, after a boring class on a block day, my arms would
be so soft! Or maybe if anyone’s in need of sandpaper, I’ll be like, “I can do
that!” … unless they need to sand a chalkboard. © 2014 Clara Kevie |
