Approximately 18 months ago, I took my first dance with SNS. I know, I know, I was late to the party — I'd been a natural nail girlie for the longest time, having had a bad experience with shellac (read: nails got destroyed during removal), and had been afraid, so afraid, to let anything other than stock-standard nail polish near my mitts again.
And to be frank, I didn't ever really bother with that either, because I type all day, every day for a living and it chips when I so much as look at it, so there's that. And then I tried SNS, and you don't really need my entire life story here, but let's just say I was hooked. Obsessed. My nails were so STRONG. So UNCHIPPABLE. So SUPPORTIVE OF MY DREAMS AND EMOTIONS.
Watch: Nobody asked for nails that could hold a tiny cup of coffee, but here we are. Post continues below.
And that, friends, is how, for 18 months, I've been forking out approx $1300 a year on my nails and holy heck I have never actually done the maths on that before now and I'm quietly horrified.
