So, I'm in the town centre today, fighting my way through the hordes of bank holiday family groups with screaming kids, only barely resisting the urge to use my crutch for evil, when I walk past a chemist.
So, before I know it I'm standing in front of the Rimmel display, and I'm looking at nail polish. Although, to be exact, I'm looking for a top coat/strengthener. A quick look reveals that I can have: base coat and filler with strengthener in a charming shade of Pepto Bismol pink (altogether now: EWWWW!!), or I can have a green base coat/strengthener, or a blue something else (I forget now what it was - top coat and shoe polish?), or I can have a kinda purply 3 in 1 thing. So, being the inveterate bargain hunter my dad brought me up to be, I pick up the 3 in 1 thing.
So, while I'm picking this up, two other bottles catch my eye. One is a lovely dark irridescent bluey/greeny shade, and the other is a similar thing only in red/greeny/gold (sounds gross, is actually quite nice).
So, I pick these up too, because they're only 2.49 each and claim to be quick drying (altogether now: 60 seconds my arse!), and if they're crap, it doesn't really matter cos they're cheap. There's logic in there somewhere, just don't ask me where :)
So, I'm sitting here now, looking at these bottles in more detail, and I look at the names of the shades.
One is called "Mania" and the other is called "Zeitgeist".
Hmmmmm.....
P.S. I went for Mania. Because I couldn't get the top off my zeitgeist.
(there's a double meaning in that)

Said in true Kenneth Branagh / Seigneur Benedick from Much Ado style.
Although I still don't understand why you had trouble getting your top off.
I just don't get it.
I bought Mania today! And it's quite nice. I was looking to see if it was on the internet, to show my friend, and this page came up... anyway, do you recommend Zeitgeist?
