I am FOR if:
- I'm under 25 and Izia's gruunge glam look
- if I have the patience to wait 3 minutes between the installation of the nail polish and that of the "shatter"
- I do not have a meeting with my manager the next day
- I want to annoy my 13-year-old daughter who dreams of wearing polish
- I have short nails and no claws as in Dynasty
- I am a cougar who refuses the time that passes
- I want to attract attention because I want to draw the attention of my colleagues on the stone that offered me Jules

I am AGAINST if:
- I bought the Mimosa nail polish in 2011 and wore it only once
- I have brittle and friable nails
- I want to keep my dignity with my teams and / or my children
- my nails are not flawless
