Not my nails, obvs.
Some (beginner-focused) tips for painting your nails:
Lighter colors and solid colors are easier to work with. Pick a good color or few, you don’t need to start too fancy.
Don’t shake nail polish, that can mess it up. Roll it slowly if you ever need to mix.
Don’t just do the coloration and call it a day, put clear nail polish on first, and put it over the color. That will protect your nails.
Consider getting nail polish remover when you get your nail polish, mistakes are easy.
Put your nails down on a flat surface, clean your nails (maybe with that nail polish remover?), and apply the clear base coat (doesn’t need to be perfect). Stroke from the base of the nail to the top, until the nail is covered. It might get on your skin, that’s normal, anything on your skin can be dealt with at the end. Let it dry, like you would any other kind of base coat.
Now that it’s dry, do like what you did with your clear polish for colors. Base to tip, going from the center outwards. If you can still see through after it’s covered, wait for it to dry a little, then do another layer.
Then apply your top coat to make smooth, shiny, and somewhat protected painted nails. Wait for it all to dry (very important), which could as long as normal working hours + commute. Don’t mess it up. If you do, you might have to restart on some nails.
Now that it’s dry the polish on your skin should act sorta like glue, where you can just peel it off, but if it’s stubborn you could use a cotton swab with nail polish remover to carefully remove it (don’t let it touch your nails!).
Now you should have nice smooth nails.

Is it fair to say that trans people are probably a manifestation of something that everyone probably feels? I still haven’t been able to wrap my mind around how many cis people there supposedly are. I mean we all know that gender as a concept was just kind of forced on all of us. What if everyone is some degree of dissatisfied with that, but trans people are just more in touch with those feelings? I don’t want to invalidate the cis, but it is kind of a thing where I just can’t accept that transness is anything but just the natural response to being born into a world with something as arbitrary as gender.

I kinda think it’d be fun to go to one of these protests with a bunch of red, white and blue looking flags that are all from different countries. Not even to make a statement, just the pure chaos of someone squinting and realizing that while everything on my person looks vaguely patriotic to Americans, none of it is actually American.
We really act like we invented putting those colors next to each other. They’re the most common flag colors worldwide.
Was watching a friend play blauder’s gate 3 and teasing her for fumbling Shadowheart (I’ve never played this game before) and it did get me thinking how hard I fumble too
the game do be pushing you to relationship with someone and some of them do be coming on too strong. I’ve had plenty of scammers try to trick me online and like anything sexual or too flirty just sets off alarm bells and I pull away. I get it prob has to do with me being 
though I won’t lie I do have some issues I gotta work through.Been watching a review for RWBY Arrowfell and it looks bad, kinda of a shame since I guess it has WayForward’s logo slapped on it and I love the Shantae games. Game play looks mid, story weak characters feel flat and an opportunity to flesh out Solitas more just kinda wasted. Does have an anti-union message and knowing rooster teeth I’m not the least bit surprised. I really don’t think I’ll ever play it and even before this review I was questioning it based off the trailer alone.
I went to a show last night and saw someone I haven’t seen in almost a year (and we were really only acquaintances that had met a few times). They remembered me by my old name but they remembered me! We chatted a bit before and after the show. They were with other friends and lovers that I also got to meet and was warmly welcomed by. They were going out with a partner after the show so I took my leave in my typical awkward, autistic style. To my great surprise, they texted me this morning with a nice message that made me cry. I might have a new friend?? Which I am sorely in need of with my recent relationship troubles.
I’m having an absolutely awful body image day. I hate the way I look so much I don’t want to be perceived. I can’t believe I have to work and be looked at when I look so ugly
I love my gf.

No reddit means I’ve been watching so much stuff on my backlog and getting back into hobbies like writing and reading ttrpg shit. Honestly cutting back brainless slop scrolling has been helping me greatly. I’ve also cleaned my room a bit and found my rainbow blanket and my favorite old bag, the bag has a bit of a rip but I got an iron on patch I can fix it with so looking forward to using it again.
I could just unironically write “so i’m done reading the comic about gay furries for research purposes”
I kinda don’t want to do anything. It would be nice if time stopped moving until I was ready
The concept of high speed rail is honestly kind of terrifying. Like, have any of yall stood at an HSR platform and seen a train fly by?
I swear to God these trains are demon worms that move at the speed of Satan.
Another miserable and just generally wasted day. I need a break from this so bad. It hasn’t gotten better with time, or coming out, any of it. I dont know what my problem is getting hrt to try that. Really doubt anything is going to make this
bettergood enough atp though.
