What the hell is going on with your fingernails?
I don't really trim my nails and despite the physical abuse I put my hands through they don't like to break on their own so they tend to get long enough to piss off women who pay a lot of money to have long nails.
When my wife moved in and started eating the meals I cook she started complaining about how much harder it was getting to trim her nails. I didn't say anything. Eventually she figured out that it was a sign of an improved diet.
At least paint them with your favourite colour. It's free real estate :D
That's just more maintenance I'm not going to do. It's one thing to have jagged long nails. It's another to have chipped polish.
Yeah, obviously a nice oil finish would better bring out the natural qualities of your nails. Would you paint the Mona Lisa?
How could I? I'm not Leonardo DiVinci. What a strange request.
I find rubio monocoat to be the best finish for a long lasting nail coat.
What you made is really cool and I'm an asshat btw. 🙂
