Tore my nail half off while trying to get my lock out for my bike. It bleed like a SOB. I haven't torn a nail this far back on the quick in decades. I wasn't sure how to fix it. Fortunately, my roommate is a nail tech and was able to doctor it up, then thicken it up with gel acrylics. It hurt very badly before, and now it feels fine. #NailTech #fingernail

Made up ant conversations #864:
"Hey mate, Jezza, MATE! Wait up, look, I've got a fingernail. You bloody ripper! SCOOORE!"

Later...

Err... after spouting nonsense about an ant's odd collection choices, I've since seen three successfully struggling to drag off their keratin prizes. 🤔

#20252025Challenge
I wanted to cut my fingernails last night, but couldn't find my regular nail clippers. I had to try and use the tiniest farty clippers I've ever seen. I gave up after doing one little finger nail.

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Drawing, programming, dancing, cooking, make up, reading, languages, gardening, mastering high fives, sewing, astrophysics, vcr clock setting ...

One thing about when the boating season ends and the boat stays in one place: no ropes. That means I don't tear my fingernails when handling the ropes.

I spend most of the summer with one or two fingernails torn or split, and having to trim them way too short.

Oops 😬 looks like I’ll be having a sliver of #fingernail in my #chowder 🥣

Another polish experiment gone... gloriously chaotic 😍💅
This time it’s neon orange as the base, sealed with black crackle lacquer—and honestly? It looks like a lava demon lost its temper on a nail tip 🔥🖤
Love how the cracks turned out... unpredictable, wild, and weirdly seductive.
Would I wear it? Hell yes. All ten.

When it’s time to do the nails again, they’re getting this chaotic treatment—no doubt.
Only catch? Drying time... it’s a beast.
We’re talking 5–6 layers here:
☑️ 1 white base coat (because neon needs backup)
☑️ 2 coats of glowing orange
☑️ 1 layer of volatile black crackle
☑️ and 1–2 clear top coats to lock it down and gloss it up.

Why the obsession with top coat?
Because the crackle feels cracked—duh—and I need that glassy smooth finish.
Otherwise... well, I start nibbling. Yes. I’m that person. Gremlin mode: activated 😏💅🧪

Three coats of the Lilac Dream and it was still barely there. A thin coat of blue glitter does the trick (I only do my left hand).
