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.

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.
My first play through I had no interest in romance because I was trying to role play. Ive got an alien bug in my head, I do not want want to hold hands with you Shadowheart while we’re drinking wine I didnt think thats what this was. Gale, stop it. Lets stay focused on getting the worms out. Astarion, I didnt want in my party cause he tried to kill me at our first meeting
I met a girl at a bar the other day and she’s been coming on very strong. I thought she was pretty and we danced a lot but I cant help but feel literally heartbroken still lol. Like as if that word was a little more literal, I still have no interest in opening up or dating. Sex, eh, I can take it or leave it at this point, kinda overrated
Yeah even I’ll admit from the roleplay part of the game you got psychic brainworms to deal with and other bullshit doing the let’s just focus on friendship rn as we deal with stuff was seen as a bad thing when it just made sense. Maybe there was more options to explain it I didn’t read but that not being more of an option felt eh
