How it feels trying to talk to the poor non-laquerista who just wanted to compliment your nails

    Such a mood. I’m always absolutely delighted at the rare compliment though. Almost all have no idea what I’m talking about, and most people think they’re gel 😅 explaining magnetic lacquer to the uninitiated is always a roll of the dice but it’s so worth it to see the rare flash of fascination in someone’s eyes 😆

    I also feel like I usually only get comments on my most boring manis. Like I’ll do a plain palate cleanser and get four compliments on it in one day

    Me: “Ooh, I like your magnetic nail polish.”

    Them: “oh 👁️👄👁️ is that what these are?”

  4. Then there’s me and my friend J. I’m doing my human impression, and she goes full blood spraying lizard at me by recognizing and name checking Cock-a-doodle-doom by Sassy Sauce.

    So then I too morph into a blood lizard, and we two happy little lizards spend the next twenty mins talking about our glass bead setups while our human friends stand by, bemused.

  5. i have to use all my strength to hold in the infodump about magnetic polishes when someone compliments a glass bead mani and calls it cat eye
