Hi! I'm newer to the Fediverse and brand new to Beehaw. I've used Reddit for years, but I'm seeking greener shores as big tech has gotten real weird.

When I'm not reading, attempting to be a guitarist or fooling with fountain pens, I like to paint my nails! Do I color in the lines? No. Do I do a perfect job? Also no. But I pick fun colors and always, always, always add glitter. Did you color your nails? I wanna see!

(Side bar, I low-key wish the Fediverse had more places for beauty inspo. Let's see pretty nails, hair and outfits, please!)

They are dangly and make a faint sound when I nod or shake my head. I love them!

I'm leaving my phone to my BFF in my will for just this reason...

Ladies, help me choose nail polish for a St Paddy's Day fest this weekend! I will be wearing all the tacky plastic shamrock shit the grocery store will sell me (plus green eyeshadow). Here are the contenders (from left to right):

ILNP - Reminisce
ILNP - 1UP
Cirque Colors - High Society
Cirque Colors - Mood Ring (magnetic)
Cirque Colors - Ethel
Orly - It's Not Rocket Science
Sinful Colors - Calypso

Which one should I go with?

Hey y'all! Anyone have any tips for makeup choices that are pretty consistent offerings? Feels like every time I find something I like, it gets discontinued or shuffled into a new name / brand.

I have a pretty "no make-up" look, currently:

• Primer
• Foundation
• Lipstick (mac discontinued my favorite color and is basically why I started this thread.)

Really mostly looking for brand recommendations here, emphasis on avoiding "fast fashion", if that's even the right term for it.
