...Nail polish takes way longer to actually dry than I’d remembered/hoped. I’ve already screwed up my Shiro nail about ten times and none of them look as good as I’d hoped because the white bottom coat wasn’t nearly dry enough when I started the colors. Ugh.

Painting my nails is hard

Because sometimes I want galaxies on my nails, because I want to look down while I'm typing and feel like I'm part of a massive galaxy and not stuck at my desk inside four walls.

An other times I want cotton candy pink, because life is great and people are great and I feel happy and feminine and cute. And other times I want to paint intricate designs, because they're fun and relaxing to do and make me feel creative in a different way then my writing makes me feel creative, and I like pushing the boundaries of my creativity. And I want all those feelings at once, but that would cause a horrific color combination and would look super weird.
