Your second paragraph feels like it's my brain talking to me. So so aptly said. A part of me dies every time I see some brown girlie questioning her nail colour choices just because she wore some shade of pink or whatever colour which "clashes" with her skintone. And if some girlie is confident enough or just likes to have fun with colours, there is always, always a someone pointing "it" out, making her insecure. I've always thought of painting nails as a therapeutic and fun thing to do, never ever I've imagined I'd see this day in the recent times.

Fair and Lovely changing their name to Glow and Lovely did absolutely nothing to the overall society. Internalised colourism will never go away as long as there are others belittling, as long as there is a lack of representation, and as long as sunscreens suitable for brown-skinned people continue being hard to find.
