Brownish Nail Polish: Indecisiveness Manifested

​X: I. Must. Get. This. Nail. Polish.
Y: I. Do. Not. Care. You are paying for it, buy what you please.
X: But how often would I use this. I mean, it has been months since I last painted my nails.
Y: Well perhaps this will rekindle your nail painting fire. Buy the thing so we can leave.
X: Alright, you said I should get it. Here we go.
Y: Maybe you were right to hesitate. It may just go to waste, sitting unused in our bathroom. Also, if I may be completely honest, it is a rather unflattering brown.
X: Dammit! Now you have confused me!
Y: Oh I know, dearest. I felt the need to nullify my previous comment. I am now without bias.

(This exchange continues for the next three minutes ending in...)

X: I am doing it. I am getting the color. I read nude colors make you look years younger... I will look like a six year old. This will be great!

(Ten minutes later, having made the purchase and left the store, X sits and paints her nails.)

X: Uh… this is not the color I thought it was. I think I just waited $5.
