Even as someone who's not really into makeup, I will fully support you in your nail polish endeavors. Go, buy all the nail polish! Let me live vicariously through you!

Nail polish was the one "girly" thing I enjoyed when I was a kid. I would still enjoy it except...
1. I no longer have any.
2. I think it would look weird if I put the effort into making my nails look pretty but didn't bother with eye shadow/lipstick/etc.
3. Nail polish remover gives me headaches like whoa. :(

:D

I think I got the bestie into 'girly things' with nail polish. I bought Rica by Zoya and was wearing it and let her paint her nails with it and so she fell in love.

See, I think painted nails look nice. Half the time I don't wear makeup out of the house other than mascara and lip gunk and my nails are done. But the nail polish headache thing isn't good.

My cousin was the one who got me into it. We used to have so much fun painting our finger and toenails together.

I think painted nails look nice if you know how to do them correctly. If you don't, or if you have bad fashion sense (like me; I'm forever stuck in my 7 year old mindset of "IT NEEDS MORE SPARKLES!") then it would probably just end up looking unprofessional. Especially when it starts to chip off. I tended to let the paint on mine come off on its own, since nail polish remover gave me such bad headaches.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MOAR GLITTER! <3333333333

I get you. I'm a picker so I tend to peel it off because I get a lot of tip wear. I use straight acetone which stinks to all hell but gets it off all at once. :D

Ngl, I would probably die if I used straight acetone. I cannot handle fumes very well. Being able to use oil paints and a tiny bit of turpentine in a well ventilated room is about the extent of the fumes I can be around without feeling like I'm dying. Any worse than that and I start getting headaches and feeling dizzy and weak.
