The Thousands

Person 1: “Blather nonsense jargon Chanel nonsense blather pun colour whistle.”
Person 2: “Squeal nonsense obscure-reference Beyonce shiny nonsense blather.”

So goes a conversation between me and someone else about nails. Except the ‘someone else’ is myself, because no one actually wants to talk about nails and nail polish with me. I am too obsessed with colour, too annoyingly anal about coverage, too likely to yelp like an old lady if I chip a coat. We could be in the middle of a fascinating discussion about Manichean philosophy circa 300BC or the myriad benefits of goopy cheese and KASLAM! I am riffing about the new Muppets collection and holding my claws against other people’s pants to see how well the colour matches. Sorry, guys. I am sorry.

You can imagine the sounds that came out of me when I heard about People‘s Get Nailed bar. They were all of the above but on crack and via an imaginary megaphone. Longtimes have I loved USLU Airlines Nail Polish, especially their collaborations with the likes of Bernhard Willhelm, BBB and various DJs (yeah!). If you’re die-hard about nail colours, this range is impossible – you will want them all. Until now there was nowhere in the world to exclusively have USLU applied by a specialist at a bar: Get Nailed does it… with booze!

Get Nailed is in the process of becoming a proper ‘retail experience’, with makeup and the works – but for me, my nails, and for anyone who has to listen to me talk ever, it’s already perfect.
