Hi! I'm newer to the Fediverse and brand new to Beehaw. I've used Reddit for years, but I'm seeking greener shores as big tech has gotten real weird.

When I'm not reading, attempting to be a guitarist or fooling with fountain pens, I like to paint my nails! Do I color in the lines? No. Do I do a perfect job? Also no. But I pick fun colors and always, always, always add glitter. Did you color your nails? I wanna see!

(Side bar, I low-key wish the Fediverse had more places for beauty inspo. Let's see pretty nails, hair and outfits, please!)

Your shaping is perfect. I get annoyed every time I try to grow mine out.

Have not done my nails in a while, but I like to do lily and fox stickers. They stay cute and they're on permeant 'sale' for like 3$ per pair. I get 2 manicures our of a pair since my nails are short enough.

Shaping is very tedious. but I try to keep things the same shape. I keep hearing about stickers. Might have to take the plunge one day.

Some are very expensive. But lily and fox are cheap, so if you mess them up who cares. And they last much longer than polish for me. They have lots of styles, including tons of glitter. And they're removed with lemon water and then nail polish for any remains. So they're pretty nice on the skin. (I have sensitivity issues to a lot of nail products)
