  • I relate to you. I only have about 2ish hours of actual work a day on average, and I have to drag it out all day just to look busy. I never expected that it would feel soul sucking to have so little work but still be chained to your desk. I thought I was lucky! (And I certainly am in someways)

    The irony is that when I first started, I was efficient and would read when I didn’t have anything to work on. But my boss didn’t like to see me reading, so he would give me more work. The issue is that there is only so much he can do at a time, so it resulted in me finishing assignments, and him being so overloaded he wouldn’t get to them until weeks or months later. Now I just pretend to be busy, so he doesn’t feel like he needs to give me more, and I’m not having to remind him of documents in review that are weeks old.

    Sorry for the rant, I am currently sitting here pretending to be busy while slowly dying inside.




  • I think you’ve done a good job here! The application looks pretty clean with little polish seeming to be on the skin, and the nail beds don’t look like they were flooded either.

    I like the style/colors and the nail art is pretty good too. A little more practice will help you get smoother and thinner lines, but using the right brushes for line work can dramatically help if you aren’t already using those.

    Last thing, I find if I use a coat of hard gel or an additional base coat before putting the final top coat on, then it will encase the art better and make it look more professional and shiny/smooth. You can check out my recent post with the zebra print to see what I mean since I may not be doing a good job explaining it here.

    If you aren’t even using gel polish and this was all done with regular polish, then hats off to you since regular polish is so much harder to work with in my experience!! I picked up nails as a hobby 3 years ago, so I am no professional and these are just some tips I picked up along the way ☺️
