Ok so I’m in a nail polish mood, so I’ve decided to google this ‘femme flagging’-thing just for fun, and…
while I might consider painting one or two of my nails another colour than the other nails, all in all this femme flagging thing seems waaay to complicated for a lazy person like me - and way too messy for a colour oriented person like me. Like,
look at the chart at the bottom of this post. Not only would actually having to use these colour codes for those thing you’re into, if you ask me, clash horrible with each other and probably the colours of your outfit, but it’s also incredible complicated and… and ok, I also some of these colour codes that I think are very problematic… and to be honest: stupid - I actually thought it was a joke, but I’ve seen it linked to several times as one of the go-too charts and gfdhafj. And frankly speaking, why the fuck does people feel it’s necessary to signal that they are into X, Y and Z? I don’t wanna know you’re into, idk, scat!
And apparently there aren’t any consensus on which fingers to flag on? Is it one nail? One nail on each hand? Two nails? Two nails on each hand? More? NO ONE SEEM TO AGREE. And there’s not even agreement among the two-nails crowd on which nails to paint - apparently it’s the fuck fingers, but… some people fuck with their ring finger???? Like how does that even work?!
Oh WHATEVER. The weirdest thing, though, is all the femmes with long nails on their fuck fingers. Yo, how about no.

Oh well, this didn’t really help me in my Quest - yes, with a capital Q; I have that sort of relationship with nail polish - for picking out which nail polish to put on tomorrow. I was wearing orange last week, the red ones are for when I wanna look ‘traditionally’ sexy, and the brown-ish and the light pink one is for the more “quiet” (*cough*work*cough*) look, so that leaves me with: a) turquoise, b) light green, c) dark pink, and d) dark blue… and I’m so blank on what to out on. HALP?!
