Conversations with myself (Holo addiction)
They call it internal monologue, but for me, it’s more of an internal dialogue.
“OOH, WILL YOU LOOK AT THOSE HOLOS!”
“Yes, they’re very pretty.”
“I MUST HAVE THEM ALL!”
“But when you bought those spectraflair
topcoats, you said we’d never have to buy holos again.”
“You’re so naive. Have you met me? Of
course I have to buy more polish.”
“But you said you could just put it on your
favourite polishes and turn them into holos.”
“Yes, I could. But none of my polishes is that
exact shade of green! And the holo looks different!”
“Okay, so maybe one or two. I must admit, that green holo is exceptionally pretty.”
“Okay, so maybe one or two. I must admit, that green holo is exceptionally pretty.”
“ALL THE COLOURS.”
“There’s three different greens there. And
you just ordered another green holo yesterday.”
“SO?”
“Point taken. But think of the shipping.”
“They’ve reduced shipping.”
“Maybe, but we might have to pay customs.”
“But see, if I buy this many polishes, the
import duties will still be lower than the shipping for a second order would
be. So I’m actually
saving us money by buying more!”
“You already said that with yesterday’s
order.”
“That does not invalidate my argument.”
“I'm not sure it's valid in the first place...Well, okay then, but make sure the import
duties you’re incurring stay below shipping costs.”
“But then I can’t take all the greens!”
“... You must be gutted they reduced
shipping.” |

“I see you finally decided, just got the order confirmation. Good work not going over the customs limit, but I don’t see any greens.”
“Yeah, I changed my mind. I really wanted
the blue and the purple and you were right, that green kinda looked similar to the
one I ordered yesterday and OH GOD I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE GREEN SHOULDN'T
I?!"
“Well, you're not getting it now, you
already placed the order."
“BUT I WILL DIE.”

“They’re here! They’re here!”
“Which order?”“Both! Look how pretty!
“Wow. Just wow.”
“I knew you’d like them!”
“Hey, just because I’m trying to be the
voice of reason here doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate polish.”
“And look what a pretty rainbow they make
together.”
“So we don’t have to buy the
whole range of Dance Legend Prism holos after all?”
“Haha. You’re funny.”

as my rational side would be happy to tell you if it weren't so busy
oohing and aahing about the polishes.
This is soooooooo true!!! :)

Well, I don't have anyone else to keep me in check so my voice of reason has to try. She's not very successful ;)
