While your nails are drying...

...the world is an obstacle course.
...typing is perilous.
...you thank god for whoever it was that invented quick dry topcoats.
...you will find out, sooner or later, that 8 coats of sheer polish is TOO MANY.
...you will find out that everything everyone says about Nail Prisms is true. (It's gorgeous, but it never ever dries)
...your bladder is your enemy.
...you can practice your meditation.
...the doorbell always rings.
...and so does the phone.
...and the dog, cat, husband or child always needs you.
...you keep your fingers crossed against shrinkage.
...you might already be planning your next mani.
...or something to layer over your current one.
...you watch helplessly as the bubbles form D:
...you wonder whether it's worth the effort and dry time to re-do the bubbling nails.
...you think about how much of your life has been wasted waiting for polish to dry.
...you consider giving up nail polish cold turkey.
...you start to despair about the polish never drying.
...you gently, gingerly brush your finger against a nail and...
It's DRY! FINALLY!
