Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

What do you think, this is the first time I've used pink nail polish. I was borrowing the colors and wanted something between the mauve color on the left and the light-pink color on the right, so I did a base coat of the mauve and covered it up with two lighter coats of the light-pink color.

And of course the next day the polish was chipped and a few fingers actually sloughed off 🙃 I need to invest in the equipment so I can do gel polish.

I know, I'm so sad 😭 One of the nails literally come off entirely the next day. I was incredulous - and now three other nails have similarly sloughed off. I think it could be a bad bond of the base clear coat with my nail, I might need to like clean my nail with acetone first or something so it bonds better.

So much to learn, but I did this on a whimsy, so it's OK if it doesn't last, it was always imperfect. 😁
