So, uh, i painted my nails (for the first time since i was a kid) last night. They look rough i love it. That’s beside the question, i waited patiently for my nails to dry. Right? Hooray me for not Oh! Squirrel!ing. For I don’t know how many hours afterward, they stank like ammonia or something. I wanted to pet my cats but my nails were too stinky. They would not allow it. So how do I make my nails stop stinking faster so I can get back to petting my cats?
edit: follow up do they make nail polish that smells like catnip
Could always go the fake nail route. My SO has been doing that for a couple years. It’s way easier than painting and you can get all sorts of cool designs and patterns, especially for holiday themed ones (hers right now have glow in the dark ghosts and pumpkins on them).
You can also paint the fakes before you apply them, which makes the entire process so much easier.
ooo i could get an air brush “for painting food” and “for my fake nails” and shit. this is an interesting development my wife is going to crack the fuck up
since it’s just black, i feel like pressons would be overdoing it
Even natural colours are not overdoing it, don’t avoid something that makes you happier just because it seems awkward! Personally I only use glue-ons for holidays and special weekends which sometimes aren’t even coloured, cause I need short nails for typing at work. Empower yourself by not judging yourself about what you wear!
see that’s the problem, male consumer fashion is currently not fabulous enough for my tastes. the self-judgement is inherent unless i’m wearing like one of three outfits.
Circling back to your original issue, do you use a top coat? They’re usually next to the nail polish in the store, and you’ll need a UV lamp to cure them (generally also nearby the nail polish shelf). That’ll keep the smell in if you manage to get full coverage.
I have a little tube of black, no sealant or anything. It’s wonderful and sloppy I love it
