βI painted my nails as a child and received so much ridicule that I only did it a handful of times when I would do week-long visits with my Grandma, who was always supportive of anything I wanted to do. Even then I would remove it before going back home. The other day, I decided to do it on a whim and it feels so freeing! Love the process and the color (blueberry tart) so much I had to order more, including some dark green for St. Patrick's Day and some bright orange for a pop!β
βThe first time that I tried to paint my own nails, I picked a deep red polish. Cut to fifteen minutes laterβ¦ It looked like the tips of my fingers had been cut off and I was bleeding out. So yeah, maybe nail art wasnβt for me. [...] after an hour of diligently painting with shaking hands, I had ten fingernails covered in gloopy aquamarine nail polish. Suffice to say, I ran for the acetone.β
βSo i know this is not a very big step, that is something that even cis guys do, but it felt really good and weird, they are black wich is a unisex color so nobody look me weird but my heart was racing when i was in line at the supermarket, i am very nervous of how my little sister reacts when she sees them lolβ
