Your grip on the tiny pathetic brush, was getting tighter and tighter as your anger begun to succumb you. You weren't easily brought to anger but currently the fact that everything you were trying was messing up, you were very much prepared to snap the stupid utensil.

Never had you been an overly artistic person, but you had found some very simple nail art on pinterest and you thought even an idiot could replicate it. Your only aim was to get semi-decent nail art without having to pay the extortionate rates of going to a nail parlour.

However that plan was a failure. Even with one stroke of the nail polish it had become a wreck and no matter how hard you tried you were unable to get anything looking like the image before you, meaning you quickly had to remove the mess on your nails.

Letting out an exasperated sigh, you placed the brush back in the pot before collapsing backwards into the sofa.

"You alright Love?" Your husband questioned looking up from his book.

"Yeah," you frowned. "I just can't do this stupid nail art. Every time I try it looks like a toddler did it. They were supposed to be the easiest ones and I can't even handle those."

Remus gave you a soft smile as he put his book onto the arm of the seat, moving to sit by your side with an arm wrapped around you so that he could see the screen.

"It'll be okay Y/N," he whispered kissing your temple. "How about I give it a shot? I've never been good at anything creative but it's worth a shot."

You smiled at him, moving one hand to rest on his cheek so that you could pull him closer for a soft kiss.

"Thank you," you smiled.

He moved away from you, taking your hand gently resting it on his lap so that he could start on the nail art.

You watched him like a hawk, allowing him to paint your nails and the final result was by far better than you had ever imagined it could ever possibly be. Looking from your hand to the screen, it was clear that Remus' work was greatly better than the image on your laptop. You had no idea how he could have possibly done so well at it.

"Bloody hell Remus. It's gorgeous. How the heck was you able to do that?" You squealed.

He chuckled at your reaction. "I would be lying if I said I hadn't ever done nail art before."

You furrowed your eyebrows at your husband. He'd never done your nails before and he didn't have any sisters, as well as his only female friend being Lily whom wasn't one for doing her nails.

"And why have I never heard of this?" You questioned.

"Well you never asked," he shrugged. "I used to have to do Sirius' nails and well his standards are very high meaning that I had to learn how to do a half decent job."

You were going to say something, but really it wasn't surprising so you had to way to argue over that concept.
