As I take a seat, a radiant face is smiling back at me from the opposite side. Getting comfortable, I put my phone aside and place my hands on the table. In front of me, I marvel at the nail polish color varieties on display. They can never be enough being the thought that crosses my mind.
“Can you trim them?” I ask. From a tray, she takes a pair of nail clippers and I nod to the desired length. She then proceeds to file and shape them.
It takes me quite some time to decide on a color. Initially I will have an idea of what I would like but my eyes will trick me to noticing other possible choices.
The words shared can be counted. It Is a beautiful lone time though I am not by myself. The silence allows me to be present in the moment and enjoy the pampering.
Among the few things that I always look forward to, manicure appointments is one of them. I will admit that it is time consuming but having pretty nails needs patience.
