Random Wednesday: Let's do MATH! (Don't worry it's nail polish math)

The is is regards to the post I did with 53 coats of polish.  Or as I like to call it my claim to fame.

For people who are saying that’s a waste of polish let’s do some math.

Let’s say the average bottle of polish gives you 17 full manicures.  2 coats a manicure.  So every time you do a manicure you use 20 coats total.  So this would have used just over 2 manicures worth.  Let’s just round it up to 3 for fun and to make the math easier.

The average price of the polishes I used were probably $9.  But I’ll bump it to $12 because of the Chanel.

Now if we divide $12 by 17 we get $0.71 a manicure.  Therefore 0.71 x 3 = 2.13

I wasted under $2.13 on this magic.

ETA: Apparently the math is more like $7 something.  But either way my average is actually too high and I said I used more coats then I actually did just so it wouldn't be 2.blahblahblah coats.  So I spent like $5 on this. Oh noes.
