nail polish as a dude, first impressions
Went on a walk through the city. At first I was a little worried but it quickly turned out that my black painted nails are actually a huge confidence boost. I felt like being my most authentic self. I felt like walking through the city as myself for the first time. I walked these streets many times but it was always just an empty shell, hiding myself behind a boring facade. Today was very different. I love that feeling so much!
atypical nail polish
You might wish to know that there are nail polishes that change color with temperature, some that glow when exposed to UV and ones that change color depending on recent averaged UV exposure (I thought I saw one that could be used as more than a binary indicator, but can't easily find it now).
I once tried to make a diffraction grating on nail polish (by using a stamp to transfer from a CD-ROM with shiny side removed), but sadly it didn't work (either due to some silly surface tension issues, or due to smearing).
