Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ It’s easy, I don’t have to think, & I don’t regret the color two weeks later.

One thing you must know about me is that I always have my nails done. My legs can be unshaved, hair can look like shit, skin in need of dermatological intervention, but my nails will ALWAYS BE DONE. This is a non-negotiable part of my routine. However, it used to be a stressful bi-weekly appointment due to decision fatigue. Should I get a design on my nails? Should I try a new color? What if hate my choice and I’m stuck with it for weeks? I say “used to be” because after years of trial and error, I have finally figured out my go-to nail color. Listen, It might not seem like a big discovery to you, especially because my go-to color is literally just a deep shade of red (the most obvious color on the planet that everyone has been defaulting to since 1500 BC probably), but to me, this is a sigh of relief. I have had fleeting phases in the past where I thought I had found my color (beige, white, baby pink, the list goes on), but deep red feels like forever. It matches every outfit, I’m satisfied after every manicure, and the anxiety of uncertainty that has plagued nail appointments for years has vanished. I am free.

Been doing it for 8~ years bc of cost and because I’m more satisfied with the way it looks when I do it myself, ion crème bleach never steered me wrong
I used to do my own gel nails but the acrylate allergy stuff freaked me out so now I’m back to regular polish

when Dolores O’Riordan died I got my mani pedi in black and maybe changed them once since then. the nail tech doesn’t even ask anymore. I pick and destroy my cuticles like they’re on fire unless they’re painted so, despite the Diva tone, it’s a health choice for me.
every couple years I take six month off as natural but I always end up jagged so I learned to find a signature and stick to it.
