Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Why did my nail color turned into this "yellow" color? (lazysoci.al)

So, I'm pretty new to painting nails, and this is the second time I painted them ever.

I painted my nails 5 days ago and applied a top coat. I applied a second layer + top coat 4 days ago, since I managed to scratch the paint quite fast. The second layer only covered up the scratches. Today I realised, that the paint started to get this yellowish tone. Primarily around the areas where I applied a second layer.

Is there something I could have done to prevent this?

Edit: the different colors are all fromthe same brand (the top coat is from a different brand) and they all have this phenomenon).

I'm not 100% sure, but I've had bad luck adding more layers after the top coat is applied. I generally do a base coat, two color coats, and a clear coat.

I find that doing my fingers is one of those things that I have to get zen about, because I usually scratch them pretty fast. It just happens too often for me to be precious about. If I want to put a lot of effort in, I do my toes, which last a lot longer before they get scratched or chipped. I watched some beauty videos, which helped me get a better technique down. You can also experiment with different brands, some of the more organic, PFAS-free nail polishes seem to work better, but YMMV.

I wanna do my nails in rainbow colors for pride :)

Rainbow colours seem cool but all the pride flags (except trans) that I like have an amount of stripes that isn't divisible by 5. :(

I was just gonna do red, yellow, orange, green, blue :)

I guess that works too but I couldn't do it to myself.
