The Lady:

What is the point in all nail lacks such a short brush, which does not reach the lacquer already when a whole third is filled in the container? Butterflies, manufacturers of nail dye products are brutally trolling us.

and
Tell your man to do the following: open the bottle, clean the brush to the base of the stem with a liquid to remove the lacquer, dry for 10 minutes, heat the stem closer to the base with a lighter so that the plastic becomes soft (clean with a liquid to remove the lacquer is necessary - otherwise it will burn), and stretch to the desired length. I’ve done this operation for my wife several times.

PS: It's not about poverty, it's just so real that it's easier than a lacquer to buy)
