You’ve just painted your nails and then these things happen, disaster!
1. You have to search through your handbag
Where are my keys? Where is my phone? Where is all the stuff I need now?!
2. Needing the bathroom
Didn’t need it before, but now that your nails are wet and you’re vulnerable – all of a sudden you need to go!
3. Picking up things off a table
Let me just grab this change and 100% smudge my nails! (This is clearly why America deals in notes)
4. Eating
You want a snack…but wait, can’t really peel that orange, or open a packet of crisps. Eating anything with your hands is a no go.
5. Untangling earphones
Nails done. Time to unwind and listen to some music… but your earphones are tangled (again!) and the thought of undoing them is worse than doing a rubix cube!
6. Doing up a clasp
Your nails look perfect. You’re ready to head out and you want to add a cute bracelet or necklace…think again. Doing up this clasp will ruin everything!
7. Doing up a zip
(May or may not be related to the second on this list) but either way, it’s not happening without a major problem
8. Getting the urge to clean or tidy up
Mostly for those OCD cleaners – resist the urge to do any housework for a while. No taking the laundry out of the dryer, no scrubbing down the skirting boards. You’ll be saying goodbye to the dirt and your immaculate manicure
9. Your pet wants cuddles
They’re giving you the look, you know the “let’s play and totally mess up your nails” look. So cute, so hard to resist!
10. Opening these
The dreaded ring pull: designed to make life easier without the need for an opener…unless you care about your nails, that is. Then you’ll know they’re the absolute enemy!
Do you ever find yourself in any of these situations? Have you your own “just painted my nails dilemmas” to share?

All of these things! My kitty always wants cuddles when I’m in the middle of or have just finished doing my nails. And the bathroom thing is so true!
Aww that sounds cute, maybe not great for your nails lol, but still cute 🙂 And yes, why does the bathroom thing always happen?!
Haha I go through all of that when Im waiting for my nails to dry !!!
Serene xx
It can be frustrating and annoying at the time but at least we can have a laugh about it til the next manicure 😛
Haha yes!! 🙂
Midnight manicure, where I paint my nails just before switching the lights off. They don’t smudge, but I get the fabric imprint on my nails :p
Yes, the dreaded fabric imprint! It seems no matter how carefully you sleep at least one nail looks a little different in the morning 😛
9! My pets are always getting into something! Fur is the enemy to wet nails!
It’s almost like they plan the exact time to start something lol. Fur nails is one thing, but with actual pet hair…um, no 😛
The handbag dilemma. It’s always the handbag!
Yep, the handbag is a killer lol things always wind up lost in there, and at the worst time!
OMG … It’s Spot On !!!!!!!
🙂 Which is the worst offender for you?
I’ll say the 1st one !!! I always need to find something while my nails paints are wet also … Plz Add one more .. Your baby wakes up from a nap and starts crying to be picked up !! Happens with me all the time .. I was working on nail striping right now .. Baby woke up from nap and all striping .. down the drain … 🙂
Ah, the hand bag, that’s why it’s up top! Aww your baby knows just when to wake up lol. The striping mani will have to be postponed for another time 😛
You bet !!!
OMG! This is hilarious! I can totally relate to #s 1,2,4 and 7. Nowadays, the only time I can do my nails is when my 3 kids are fast asleep which is around midnight. So once I put the kids to bed around 9:30, I get everything I need ready, like a drink, my phone, laptop, etc…all laid out on the table. Once nails are done, I just sit back and relax in front of tv or laptop. I’ve got it nailed down to a science! Lol😉
Pleased you enjoyed it!
You’ve definitely fine tuned your mani routine with military precision lol Must be a nice pay off though when it’s all done and you get to kick back and relax. Kudos! 🙂
bahahaha! I love how accurate this is! this just made my day. The struggle is real!
Yay! So happy to hear that! The struggle is most definitely real lol
Completely agree with all of these. Always get my money out first now if I’m going to a salon for a manicure
So true! In England they never seem to remind you but in America they’ll usually ask to pay before the painting part. The last thing you need is to rifle through your handbag and/or pick up change!
I usually feel the urge to go to the toilet, even if I go before I start on my mani. And of course the zippers or the need to find something from a bag 😛
It’s so strange isn’t it? Must be some cruel psychological thing: “my nails are wet therefore, I must go to the bathroom” lol
hahah A lot of these situations happened!!! I still remember what happend when I tried the moon nails, it was a nightmare :S
By the way, even if my kittens aren’t around, there’s always some fur in the air that will fall on my fresh nails. This is pretty sure. 😀
xoxo
The things we do for beauty lol, it’s even worse when lots of these happen at the same time!
Your kittens are so cute though, they can be forgiven for a little fur even if it’s not so great for the nails 😛 NLx
Reblogged this on Making the most of what I've got and commented:
Too funny! and too true
YES. This is so accurate. #2 gets me ALL THE TIME!!!! 😦
You’re not the only one! Why, remains is a mystery… 😛
URG amen!!!!!
The worst thing for me is when I suddenly get an urge to take a nap. lol pillow marks ahhhhh! xx
Oh this post is perfect!!!
I ALWAYS, and I mean always have a craving for something hard to reach/open to eat and have to go to the bathroom nanoseconds after applying top coat on my last nail. So annoying. : D
Yep the food one is pretty bad, especially when you’re *really* hungry. Maybe it’s the waiting around that just makes us idle and want to do a ton of things that will ruin our nails completely lol. Whatever it is, you’re right, it’s super annoying! 😛
