For many women, myself included nail polish holds a special place in your heart. It's often the first cosmetic girls use. I began painting my nails around age 10, but it would be a few more years until I would be permitted lip gloss or mascara. It's also one of the easiest cosmetics to use since you can't cry it off or a stray hair won't smear it (provided it's fully dry). But, yet, as an adult who frequently gets nail polish in gift bags, I rarely wear it.
I hate how quickly nail polish chips. I hate how difficult it is to remove. I hate how the polish smells. I hate how the remover smells. I used to carry around a small bottle of clear polish for runs in my hose but then I'd heard "what's that smell," so I decided I'd just buy hose by the case and toss each pair the first time it ran.
