I told myself I was done with this.
Not because it was bad.
Not because it didn’t work.
But because it wasn’t worth me anymore.
I’ve had these KKV nail polishes for a few months now.
The colors are beautiful. I really love them.
They’re easy to apply, quick to dry, but also very easy to peel off.
I believe I already featured some of them in past posts - how you can easily peel them off.
On one hand, it’s very convenient because I don’t have to use a nail polish remover anymore.
But the real issue is, since it’s peel-off, it only lasts a day.
The print was so small that I didn’t bother reading it at the store anymore. I couldn’t see it!
I thought, it’s nail polish and just added it to my cart.
I applied one shade, washed my hands and the corners started peeling. I pressed them on and that seemed to work.
But after showering and more hand washing, they really started to peel off one by one. I removed one to see if it’s a clean removal and guess what, it was!
They’re so clean that my son started collecting them. 🙄
Yes, he has a drawer of my “colored nails.” 😑 He gets a kick out of them whenever he finds one on the floor or on the bed.
This morning, I made the decision.
Enough is enough.
I don’t have the energy and time to keep applying this nail polish only for it to be ruined the following day.
Not everything that has value deserves to stay in my life.
I don’t hate it. I’m just tired of giving to something that doesn’t give back.
I choose where my energy goes.
And lately, I’ve been choosing better.
Like my Miniso nail polishes.
These are my May shades, by the way:
Bonus points because of:
Letting go doesn’t have to be loud.
Sometimes, it’s just a quiet decision:
This doesn’t belong to me anymore.
