On a vaguely related note worthy enough of filling this space in lieu of something insightful, I found myself in the makeup aisle today looking for some clear nail polish. All I can say is, that’s a fucking racket I need to get in on. The cheapest stuff I could find was about three bucks for half an ounce of what is basically just highly thinned lacquer- about a thousand percent markup over more or less the same shit you can get to finish furniture. And the top shelf stuff? Eight bucks, and only marginally thicker. I wonder if the women browsing the mascara could hear me chuckling.
