Through one of those occasional, random glitches in the space-time continuum, I just received the February issue of Nails Magazine today — along with the January issue, which never managed to arrive at all. (I had to call and get a replacement.)
So, two new Nails Magazines, along with the new onslaught of consumer beauty and fashion magazines that just landed through the salon's mail slot, and I realize:
I may have been a little too harsh on Katy Perry.
Because I now see that Serena Williams also has her name attached to one of these crackle polishes.
AND I see that at least two major polish companies seem to really be pushing this stuff this season.
So let me just repeat myself repeatedly for a moment:
CRACKLE POLISH HAS BEEN DONE!
CRACKLE POLISH HAS BEEN DONE!
CRACKLE POLISH HAS BEEN DONE!
Whew.
I'm not saying it won't go over well. I'm not saying it won't be popular. I just want these polish companies to know that they aren't getting anything by me on this one.
I've been there, done that, and given the T-shirt to the BF's niece.
