Like it should have rivets in it

[cosmolinguist]

Yesterday greyeyedeve offered to get me a nail polish when she was getting two other things that were 3 for 2.

I was delighted. "It's the color of airplanes!" I called over some other people between me and her as I picked up the bottle.

And the bottle looks like model paint.

HEE!

You could buy one of those nail polish pens and paint little rivets with it. That'd be awesome. By 'the color of airplanes' do you mean gunmetal grey? Most planes I see now are white.

[cosmolinguist]

Oh yeah, it's not the color of planes now, it's a shiny grey. when i think of airplanes I think of Spitfires, not the kind I've actually flown on.

Is it definitely not model paint?

[cosmolinguist]

Not unless No.7 have started making model paint!

It doesn't smell right anyway. Which is kind of a shame. (Yes, I love the smell of model paint. Also glue, and fiberglass...)

I didn't know liking noxious solvents was particularly me! :)

Geeking over a nail colour the same shade as old airplanes? UTTERLY ADORABLE.

<3 also.
I do still have my basic model-building kit intact, although haven't used it for a few years...

Dating a model-builder put me in delightful proximity with the paint and glue and such things again, and it's one of the billion things I miss about Stuart.

Also being around him taught me that there are Airfix models of beam engines like the one in the science museum of which I am so fond (I go visit the Power Hall to cheer myeslf up sometimes) and the Space Shuttle, complete with booster rockets, so now I want to make/have these things :D

Put those on a public-accessible wishlist somewhere, would you?

[cosmolinguist]

I'm so bad at lists. But I'll try :)

Ergo, you should be suspended from an eight year-old boy's bedroom ceiling!

This is the best LJ comment I've seen in a while!

I am intrigued by this as I would quite like plane-coloured nails. What make?

No 7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour, in a color I am disappointed to realize is called Disco Nights. I suppose Airplane-colored is less likely to work on their demographic.
