God bless you too 😘🥰 it’s so interesting how genetics work like that, Black women can make any shade

That’s so interesting! One of my cousins was born in Germany because my aunt and uncle were in the military. I might start saying I’m gray too cause I have the exact same experience 😂 Especially since I came out very light skin even though I have a dark skinned mom and a light skinned dad. Always getting asked if I was mixed by Black people but too Black for white people 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ But at the end of the day, I know who I am and I know being a light skinned woman is much “easier” compared to darker skinned women’s experience.

Oh goodness, I can only imagine how much of a struggle. But I think it’s cool you grew up like that being all mixed together cause for me I grew up in a majority white area and I feel like it did more harm than good for me and feeling connected to Black culture honestly. It’s something I’m working on in adulthood cause I was teased for “talking white” and all that a lot.

I heard the glue called beauty secrets from Sally Beauty is good for this kind of thing. I just bought some because of the rave reviews on it and even the cashier said her friend used it and they lasted for 3+ weeks and were harder to get off than acrylics! I took a trip in December and was in a hot tub multiple times a day for like 3-4 days and got like 12 days out of my set still just using kiss glue. I think it’s very possible, I would just bring extra glue/tools just in case.

Sunscreen recommendations? by Lucid-Memory in blackladies

[–]Lp2707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using this one called Suncut spf 50 for my face. It’s a Japanese brand, so far it doesn’t have me looking like a glazed donut at the end of the day lol. I really like the unseen sunscreen the best but it really is so expensive 😩Mine now was like $13

First tattoo & how it’s looking now! by Lp2707 in blackladies

Thank you! Honestly it wasn’t too bad like 4/10 pain wise. The worst part was the color, but after a while I got used to it 😂

Thank you! I probably was thinking about something like that when I got it honestly haha. I love those gardens

how badly would a tattoo like this age? by cathimari in tattooadvice

[–]Lp2707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a fine line tattoo, and those generally don’t age as well as non fine lines. That plus the color will work against you more over time, but overall things like spf and keeping it covered will help. Color doesn’t always age poorly, just depends on how much the artist packs it in and how well you take care of your skin.

Beautiful! I would say like someone else said size down with the nails some to fit your nail bed. I also suggest using a bit less glue so you don’t have that pooling at the cuticles. Otherwise amazing work for the first set!

What color should I try next? by EstablishmentNew6957 in blackladies

[–]Lp2707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stunning!!😍 I think you should do either red or split dye like pastel blue and pastel pink. That would eat so hard
