What's the deal with nail polish sets? I mean, you've got this Beetles Gel Nail Polish Set, claiming to be a full range of reds paired with red glitter. Now, I'm no fashion expert, but isn't that like saying, "Here's a bunch of different shades of the same color"? It's like going to an ice cream parlor and saying, "I'll have one scoop of vanilla, please, but make it six different shades of vanilla."
And get this, they call it "U!Gel Polish." What's with the exclamation point? Are they trying to yell at me to use their product? "Hey you, yes YOU! Use our gel polish or else!" I mean, I get it, it's trendy and all, but can we dial down the enthusiasm just a tad?
Now, they claim these polishes are "healthy" because they're made with nine toxin-free ingredients. But let me tell you, if I have to count ingredients on my nail polish, I'm out. I'm not here to do math, I'm here to paint my nails and hope they dry before I accidentally smudge them reaching for a bag of pretzels.
And don't even get me started on the warning label. "May cause an allergic reaction by skin contact." Oh great, so I can either have boring nails or risk my fingertips swelling up like sausages. Decisions, decisions.
But hey, at least the Beetles Gel Nail Polish Set comes in a seasonal gift box. Because nothing says "Happy Holidays" like a box of nail polish, am I right? Nothing says "I love you" like the gift of colorful fingertips. So go ahead, treat yourself, but just remember to read the directions. And maybe keep some antihistamines handy, just in case.
