Could always go the fake nail route. My SO has been doing that for a couple years. It’s way easier than painting and you can get all sorts of cool designs and patterns, especially for holiday themed ones (hers right now have glow in the dark ghosts and pumpkins on them).

Even natural colours are not overdoing it, don’t avoid something that makes you happier just because it seems awkward! Personally I only use glue-ons for holidays and special weekends which sometimes aren’t even coloured, cause I need short nails for typing at work. Empower yourself by not judging yourself about what you wear!

see that’s the problem, male consumer fashion is currently not fabulous enough for my tastes. the self-judgement is inherent unless i’m wearing like one of three outfits.

Circling back to your original issue, do you use a top coat? They’re usually next to the nail polish in the store, and you’ll need a UV lamp to cure them (generally also nearby the nail polish shelf). That’ll keep the smell in if you manage to get full coverage.

You can also paint the fakes before you apply them, which makes the entire process so much easier.

ooo i could get an air brush “for painting food” and “for my fake nails” and shit. this is an interesting development my wife is going to crack the fuck up
