My fingers feel as though they’ve got frostbite, an abandoned spray can lies on the table and most of my kitchen appears to be dusted in a light frosting of silver.
我的手指好像得了冻疮,一个喷雾器扔在桌上,厨房的大片区域看起来像结了一层银色的轻霜。
You would be forgiven for thinking my home had been attacked by vandals, but no. I've just been painting my nails. Or, more accurately1, spray-painting my nails.
Yes, we've had stick-on nail polish, even iron-on nail polish (well, sort of - you had to use a hairdryer to get the adhesive2 to stick), and now it's spray-on.
The theory is straightforward3. Apply a base coat with a brush for the polish to stick to, spray your nails (and, inevitably4, the tips of your fingers and cuticles5), then wait a few minutes for the colour to dry, before applying a top coat - also with a brush - to set the polish.
When that's dry, use soap and water to wash away the excess from your fingers and cuticles, leaving you with a perfect manicure.
This latest innovation, Paint Can, is from Nails Inc. 'We're always looking for something new,’ says Thea Green, who founded the company in 1999. 'We know our customer is time-poor, so anything that gives a longer-lasting manicure, less drying time, or faster application is always of interest.'
