The Great Nail Polish Accident of 2009



Last night I was determined to go to bed at a decent time. It was 10 pm when I went into the bathroom to wash my face. As I put the face wash back into the medicine cabinet, the bottle pushed my red nail polish out the other side! I screamed as it hit the floor, shattering into our brand new ceramic tile flooring. Joe jumped out of bed seeing red spatter everywhere thought I cut myself! We spent the next 45 minutes cleaning up the polish from the floor tiles, wall tiles, grout, shower glass, heat register, towel cabinet... etc. I now have a painting project for the weekend to cover the stark red on the door, door frame & base board. Fun times! Only after we cleaned up most of the mess did Joe say, "We should have took a picture for the blog." Yes, because when the blood red nail polish shattered on the tile I immediately ran to get the camera... NOT! I was relieved to see that I'm not the only one in this predicament - I was surfing the web for a picture for the blog and came across some other stories with pictures with the same theme, like this one:



This girl's story was the same as mine - her nail polish fell out of her medicine cabinet! Unfortunately for her, this cost her a pretty penny. As a college student it resulted in her not getting her deposit back. Why didn't she use nail polish remover? That worked for us!
