I think you've done a good job here! The application looks pretty clean with little polish seeming to be on the skin, and the nail beds don't look like they were flooded either.

I like the style/colors and the nail art is pretty good too. A little more practice will help you get smoother and thinner lines, but using the right brushes for line work can dramatically help if you aren't already using those.

Last thing, I find if I use a coat of hard gel or an additional base coat before putting the final top coat on, then it will encase the art better and make it look more professional and shiny/smooth. You can check out my recent post with the zebra print to see what I mean since I may not be doing a good job explaining it here.

If you aren't even using gel polish and this was all done with regular polish, then hats off to you since regular polish is so much harder to work with in my experience!! I picked up nails as a hobby 3 years ago, so I am no professional and these are just some tips I picked up along the way ☺️

Far right cockatoo be chilling the whole time

HBO is the last streaming platform I have, and I will be cutting the cord soon.

I've now switched to having a shitty chromebook hooked up to my TV with an hdmi cable so I can pirate anything I want when I want. I definitely recommend it, no need to deal with ads either on YouTube when not using their shitty TV app!

So true, I just finished a rewatch and it took me like 10 minutes to adjust my monitors brightness to be higher than the default just so I could see a little bit clearer. Episode 7 I think is the most egregious in making it too dark to see anything.

Wat? I have ADHD and I view texting completely different. It is not like a face to face convo, it's more akin to email, but less formal. You reply when you have time, unless it is urgent.

I'm a paralegal, and Wisconsin is the same. We had a headache in one case a couple years ago where nobody knew the other party was pregnant, not even her attorney, until the final hearing and she was asked the generic question about pregnancy before finalizing. We then had to do a partial final judgment and schedule another final hearing a couple of months after her expected due date to fully finalize it.

I agree and also thought they did a pretty good job. Not perfect, but perfection is never attainable and for having to squeeze everything into 8 episodes, they did well!

This seems like it would be annoying to clean

My boss loves asking me why I haven't done something he asked me to do a month ago, only for me to tell him I did it a month ago and it's in review for him to finalize 🥲

Thanks! My partner says it looks like a ribbed dildo and now I can't unsee it.

Thanks!! My partner said the sweater nail looks like a ribbed dildo 😭 it was originally jelly polish and it looked like jello before I put the matte top coat on.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll do that too!

I feel so lucky I haven't had a cat or dog have issues with free feeding! If I ever had a pet that was a glutton, I'd need one of those timed feeder bowls or I'd constantly forget to do it. Though, I'm sure they would make sure to remind me anyway!
