Two days before Christmas, I had to venture to the ghastly mall to pick up a few last minute gifts. You all know I hate shopping so this was a big deal for me and I was dreading the mall.
So there I was, minding my own business when some little woman with a beret and an accent asks me to hold out my hand for her.
Ummm, I'm thinking,
I'll just humor her but I'm not buying anything. This has happened to me many times before so I am now prepared for this type of situation.So she starts filing my fingernail while she's talking a mile a minute telling that what she is doing is going to change my life. Finally she finishes and she asks,
"Are you ready to be amazed?"
She was dead serious, at first I kind of giggled because, hello? She was a walking infomercial. But she didn't laugh, she just looked at me anxiously waiting for my reply so I said,
"Um, yes?"
Then she lets go of my hand and I look down at the fingernail she had worked her magic on and behold, it was beautiful! The surface was smooth and I almost had to shield my eyes from the shine that glared back at me.
And yes, I was amazed.
She then asked me to try it myself so she walked me through it and in a couple of seconds I was done. Before I was able to look at the nail she grabbed my hand and asked,
"Now are you ready to amaze yourself?"
By this point I was totally mesmerized by her so I firmly said "Yes!" And she removed her hand from mine and behold, I performed the same miracle that she had performed just seconds before.
My nails were brilliant.
Then she told me that they would look that way for two weeks.
Two weeks!
Finally I just asked her the price. She started explaining about all the secret crap that they use to make it and blah blah blah, the kits were $59.99 a piece.
What? No way, I know when I'm getting ripped off and I'm not spending 60 bucks on some nail kit. She sees the excitement drain right out of my face so before I could say no, she throws out her lifesaver.
"Well, how about I throw in a second one for free? You get two for the price of one!" She exclaimed.
And then it was over.
"OK! Why not!?" The words left my lips before I even realized what was happening.
She got me.
I was suckered once again.
Albert is going to kill me! I thought, but I let her ring me up and I went on my merry way.
But I have to tell you, I LOVE this kit!! It comes with the buffer, a nail file, cuticle oil and lotion. When I got home that day I used it on all my nails and guess what? They are still shiny and smooth as I type this today!
But now I have an extra one that's been sitting on my dresser for weeks now and I've been trying to figure out who to give it to. I have two sisters so I can't just give it to one of them because the other one would most likely murder me and then knock the other sister out to grab the kit and run.
So, the only solution is to give it away. And what better people to give it to then YOU!?
