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.

I was wondering if there are any nail art enthusiasts amongst us.

I sometimes do my nails elaborately, but I usually run out of steam to do the other hand :P, currently my right hand is "naked", I also work with strong solvents on a regular basis so the polish gets ruined, but I'm trying to be more consistent with using gloves.

How about you?

Wether you do it yourself or get it professionally done. Care to show us your nailart?

I just wish I could grow decent fingernails. Mine are so weak and crumbly.

I know the struggle, it sucks! One thing that helps a lot is applying nail/cuticle oil religiously. Especially after contact with water, water really dries out your nails.

It was like that at the beginning for me too. What worked for me was letting them grow very little, and mantain that lenght for a while. Then letting then grow a bit more, and so on. Used several layers of polish, clear or with color to help them "structurally."
