When you finish, you wish you'd chosen something more fun. [[Always.|Whatever.]]

The navy is a little streaky, and the finish is fussy. [[Bleh.|Whatever.]]

You could walk to the [[beauty supply]] for something new. Or you could use that [[matte navy]] you bought last week. You always like that one [[taupe]]. That [[red]] you never wear is nice. Maybe.

Ugh. They're closed today. Maybe you should [[use your card|closer place]]? Or, do it [[yourself|redo your nails]]? Or [[give up|Whatever.]].

You buy a milky blue polish with black and silver glitter. You put it on. It's perfect. It chips three hours later. [[Of course.|Whatever.]]

You think the last time you shaved my legs was a month ago, but it's too late to change that. At the salon, you try to relax. The manicure is a little more than you remember, and you have to tip in cash. You get embarrassed asking for change. At least your nails look pretty great though. Deepest ocean blue.

Your nails are chipped. [[Whatever.]] Or ... [[Maybe you should fix that.]]

You finish your nails. Red always looks wrong on you. [[Oh, well.|Whatever.]]

"Yeah, I was wondering if you were taking walkins?"\n\n"Yeah."\n\n"Sure."\n\n"Ok, an hour?"\n\nYou guess you could [[do that]]. Or, maybe you should just [[stay home|redo your nails]] and take care of this.

Yeah, who cares?

If you go to the [[cheap salon]] you think you have enough money. There was that twenty in your jeans yesterday. Or you could use your card at the [[closer place]]? You get paid Monday.

You could [[redo your nails]] or get a [[manicure]] or just [[give up|Whatever.]]

When did you shave your legs? You could just [[call]] to see if the wait is long. This feels like a [[lot of work|Whatever.]].
