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.

It's my first time trying multiple colours. How do they look?

Very cute leopard spots vibe! You might want to consider using something like this around your edges while they're still wet to get a cleaner line.

It's supposed to be stars but thank you for the advice with the pen

That's pretty neat! I suppose that lasts a decent length of time? Assuming you don't make big messes like I do 😅

Yep! I bought mine in 2007 and I'm still using it. I don't bother filling it with acetone, I just put the acetone in a shot glass along with the corrector pen so that the nib gets soaked. It comes with an extra nib and you can also trim the nib with scissors when it starts getting a little frayed.

Nice! You did a good job getting the base coat on evenly. You can use the end of a toothpick to get a really nice circle, or there are fine brushes for detail work available cheaply. Stickers are fun too!

I have a similar design on right now in white/pink/blue, but image uploads are broken so I can't share :(

Thank you. I will try with a toothpick next time

These are a great colour combo, and this is a really good first attempt! I'm incapable of anything remotely as good as this, so I'm impressed. For me the slight roughness of the dots looks like part of the style, so it definitely works. Good job!
