I just rant to Ulta to exchange some polish I bought. The colors were awesome, but the consistency was that of a 12 year old polish. Clumperoo.

So, I had a new polish I was going to get in my hand, when on the way to the register, the handle part of the top came off of the actual top that screws onto the bottle. Thankfully, being an accident prone idiot all of my life has led me to have above average reaction times, so I jumped back right away.

SMASH!! There goes an entire bottle of black, sparkly nail polish. All over the place, but none on me, because of my cat-like relflexes. It made the most satisfying sound and a terrific mess. I was so embarassed.

I looked over to the registers and said, "I'm sorry, I just made a huge mess." The lady said it was no big deal. But I just stood there, like a human CAUTION: WET FLOOR sign. Finally someone came along and I apologized again.

You just can't take me anywhere.

**O-Face**

Well, at least no one has to suffer with it on their nails?

This reminds me of a story - it was opening night of my senior year HS musical, and one of our leads was nowhere to be found. She came running in about three minutes before the curtain rose and her jeans were COVERED in what looked like blood.

Of course, we all freaked out. Turns out, she was getting ready to leave and had grabbed something from a shelf in her closet, but that something caught on a basket full of nail polish. It came crashing to the ground and each and every bottle shattered.

On her. And on her carpet.

She couldn't just leave it, so she basically dumped polish remover all over the floor, scrubbed it out, and ran out the door looking like a massacre escapee. To this day, I keep my nail polish in a sealed ziploc bag on a bottom shelf because I'm paranoid that would happen to me.

that's somewhat hilarious.

But I can only say that because, when working at wee hardware store, I had a can of paint explode on the shaker (the old style shaker you see in old movies) and send waves of eggnog paint up and down asiles of customers.

Cant_wait!

I did that in my bathroom with the red polish you bought me, min. It looked like a murder scene. I painted it over it, but there is a spot I missed on the inside of the door that haunts me. I really need to get on fixing that!

I just did that at the nail salon last week!  I got purple nail polish all over the walls, floor, and my nice skirt.

I just paid extra tip when they were done.  Oh well.
