Rate?

11 out of 10.

I like the pink and blue dots in the two coloured fields in your ring finger.

I read it so that what you transitioned from always had a small pink dot in it. And what you are now has some sliver remaining of whatever you were as a 5-year-old. It's not who you are, but it's your roots in some fashion.

I LOVE that interpretation!! I didnt really have a meaning for it but if you dont mind ima just steal that from ya and tell everyone that was the intent all along ๐Ÿ˜

All jokes aside i appreciate you โค๏ธ

Hm, do you mind if I copy that design, though?

I've currently got only four of my fingers with nail polish, because it's still the enby flag, as I've basically chosen that for now I will enbymode and girlmode depending on context, and I kind of like that it's a meaningful flag, but you need to know quite a bit about the queer vexillogy in order to be able read a meaning into those four colours. And now I digress, dum-dee-dum. Well, anyways, that flag has four colours, and my thumbs are therefore deemed to be... uncoloured. image

That uncolouredness has symbolized me being a work in progress, and how I am feeling completely unprepared for this turmoil I'm suddenly going through (and enjoying!). But now it really feels like there should be something on the thumbs too!

So yeah, I figured I'd kind of like the idea of that one finger with the two dots and I could just replicate that in my thumb. Does that feel bad to you or okay?

Hey! You've been posting such joyful images recently. I'm sorry you're having a tough week.

I've been a bit of a wreck this week too. I'm happy to listen if you wanna vent about anything.

That's incredibly elaborate to do all by hand, especially on your own hands.

Thank you thank you!! Honestly your comment made my day a bit, cause i do struggle with being perfect on nails makeup outfit etc etc i obsess a little. Its super uplifting to hear someone impressed!

And i have shaky hands!

I looked at the text many more times before I got it. I suggest using uppercase for spelled-out letters, lowercase otherwise โˆ’ "h8isEZ โ™ฅUrself" โˆ’ if spaces don't fit. Also, I know nothing about nail polish but you might be able to reach higher resolution subtractively (scraping off extra paint).

Its literally my first time ever trying to write something lol, its tough but that idea of scraping is interesting. Not sure how well it would work but maybe if i use different polishes mayyybee? Thanks for the comment!
