I'm coming off a bad depressive episode after losing my job a year ago and learning how to give myself manicures has been such a great form of therapy. I'm so inspired by this sub, seeing everyone share their beautiful manis and creativity! There's so much joy in being introduced to an endless variety of colors, finishes, and techniques.
I'm happy I found such an accessible hobby. It's (reasonably) inexpensive, I'm saving by never having to go to a nail salon again, and I feel proud of myself when I learn new things and make progress in my polish application skills. I love how focused I get when I'm giving myself a new mani. It's so meditative. Good feelings all around. 💖
This is two coats of Mooncat Mercury In Retrograde (magnetized) over OPI strengthening base coat and Mooncat Matt Made In Hell, topped with Mooncat Speed Demon QDTC and OPI Drip Dry.
I just adore the silvery, lavender, pink opalescent shimmer. Subtle, but mesmerizing. 💅💫
