Tacky at Target

On a recent  trip to the local Target, I meandered over to the cosmetic section, hoping to pass the time. I didn't need a thing, but I browsed the nail polish shelf anyway, hoping an interesting color would catch my eye. While scanning the neatly organized shelves of small bottles, another customer appeared beside me and eagerly selected a neon pink color. "Ahhh, that's pretty," she mused, then pranced away. I hardly gave her a glance, in fact, I was almost irritated that somebody could make such a quick decision, while silly me was still slowly mulling over 20 various shades of blues and reds.

Moments later, that same girl returned, and haphazardly plunked the pink bottle back onto the nail polish shelf. I thought her change of mind was odd, but as she whisked away, her nails caught my eye. Neon pink. Realization hit me. This girl had "borrowed" that color, painted her own nails in the store (all ten nails) then put the bottle back. I'm sorry, but that is just plain TACKY. I have no sympathy for people who take advantage of things without paying. How cheap can you be.... painting all of your nails with an un-purchased product, then putting the thing back. Some other poor soul will buy that bottle, and sure, they'll be unaware that their nail polish was already used... ew. I can understand testing the color out on ONE nail, but I see no reasonable logic in giving yourself a quickie Target manicure, then rudely putting the two-dollar bottle back.

Borrowing colors is what nail salons are for. I just felt this was a tacky and gross thing for this girl to do. So, next time you buy nail color, be aware.....
