Have you had the same sparkly pink polish on since New Year's Eve? Is the remainder of your last manicure chipping or peeling at the corners, hanging on for dear life? Looks like it’s time for a manicure!

If you’re anything like me, you despise having to paint your nails but as much as you hate it, you will do anything in your power to avoid going to the salon. Painting your nails not only requires immense concentration, but there's commitment to this grueling process as well. You must first set aside time, gather up your materials, prep your nails, take a deep breath, and muster up the courage to get started. Once you have completed that last step, sit back and relax because it’s all downhill from there. These are the 35 thoughts you’ve definitely had while painting your nails.

1. Okay. Let’s do this!
2. Should I start with the thumb or the pinky?
3. Hell, thumb it is…more surface area means less chance of initial mistakes.
4. Here we go, for real this time.
5. Steady, Steady...
6. We’ve touched land!
7. OK, it’s just like you see in those YouTube videos.
8. Dot in the middle, push down and slide up!

24. I’ve only done one hand and I’ve definitely lost quite a few brain cells from this smell already.
