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.

relationship painI had an anxiety attack a couple months ago which activated my partner's avoidant tendencies and now everything's fucked. So now I get very little love and affection and I can't be as lovey dovey as I want to be or they start pulling away. It's like the bottom just dropped out of the relationship almost overnight. Talking about it just seems to reinforce the distance. Feel like shit, just want my stability back. negative

Things that happened in my dream last night:

I got on a boat which was a weird hybrid of a kayak and a rowboat and rowed out to a rocky island.

I took my clothes off

I realized I didn't tether the boat and had to jump in the water to get back in

I rowed from the island into a river which was packed with people

I almost hit a very angry woman wearing a life vest

I got out and started walking home

I got a short from somewhere, but no bottoms

I walked through like three towns bottomless

I walked around a headway bottomless

This is the most plausible dream I've ever had. I would do all of these things

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.

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.

Well, moved in with my partner and officially between jobs, so I am going to have more posting time. Hexbear wasn't working properly on my mobile browser (Android Firefox) but now my PC is setup again.

Anyways, things are going good/chill in my life, at least what I personally have control over. Will need to catch up.

I'm definitely the yamcha of my friend group, single but handsome at least. Fun fact while every dbz fan knows of his baseball career for the "Tiatans" he also later on worked at a host club like from kiryu-dame-da-ne though he got fired because he still never got over his social anxiety denji-just-like-me

I've gotten into the habit about talking to strangers about their nails polish, talking is overstating I guess more complimenting them on it and they seem happy.

I've gained a confidence where if I see 99% of people say an answer and I say the opposite I don't feel per pressured to follow along thinking I must be wrong, now I'm just like "look at these dummies" power-genius

cw: SIi feel so numb i barely want to move and type this. i have to leave for work in an hour and i can't stop thinking about putting a gun in my mouth and giving it a big sloppy blowjob just to feel something. not even pulling the trigger or even loading it, just sticking a firearm into my mouth and giving it oral sex as if it were a phallus just to fucking feel something. why the fuck am i still single. why the fuck does every attempt at romance fail. i can't keep track of the number of people i've fallen for romantically and literally no one has ever reciprocated. there are poly trans women my age who have more partners than fingers and i can't find one single person who would ever think to themselves "wow EstraDoll is pretty cute I'd date him" so i might as well give oral sex to a firearm and fantasize about ending my miserable fucking existence because no one else is desperate enough to touch me with a 10 foot pole

Mood, I think my main thing is I've just been attracted to unavailable people hence why I've been alone so long. It does sour my mood sometimes being around happy couples and third wheeling if I'm being real or being an even wheel because poly friends. I try not to think about it since I'm prone to spiraling and this isn't something I can think my way out of so i-love-not-thinking

[โ€“] gayspacemarxist@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

That's rough. I hope things change for you. I'm poly also and I've not had a lot of luck/success with dating in my life. It can be really demoralizing.
