miracle nail polish?


I see an ad for a new nail polish with an irresistible promise:

To reveal the natural beauty of your nails, Dior has invented Nail Glow. A treatment nail varnish that makes pink pinker, and brightens nail tips for an instant French manicure look.




This sounds too good to be true.  I love French manicures but they are pricey,  take forever to do, and a long time to dry.  I go to buy this new product sensation and they are sold out everywhere.  A sign, no doubt, of its fabulousness.  I leave my name at the Dior counter at Bloomingdales and ask them to call me when it comes in.

Yesterday I get that call.  Christina leaves me a message, and I can hear the excitement in her voice.  “Lyn, hi, it’s Christine from Bloomingdales.  You are so lucky.  I got in just one of the new Nail Glow’s.  Please call me back, as I am sure it will sell quickly.”  I call her back immediately; pay for the product over the phone; then go pick it up.

This morning I get my manicure.  Well, the pinks of my nails are pinker, and it does leave a pretty shine, but I see no real difference in the whites.  It is definitely not a replacement for a French manicure, more like a cheap knockoff.
