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.

u can call declarative package managers the future if u want but as somemany who has daily driven nixos for the past... 2 years or so we dunno that we could recommend anybody use it x3 too many issues
what are some of the bigger issues y'all have run into? daily driving sounds daunting
ramble
maybe something something dialectics and we'll end up with a package management system that kind of blends the two styles... or I guess neither one nor the other but something else.I was messing with emacs based on a user recommending it to me and I found this package dir-config which let me do something I really wanted, which was loading package configurations on a per-directory basis. And I thought that was really interesting - like layers of an onion or something, building up little package realms. That's kind of what I want. Like raising into environments starting from a root, and iteratively applying them as I visit other little parts of my computer world. I bet nix can do this too, probably better than what that package can do. But I thought that was neat.
