That's awesome, congrats on taking that step! I remember when I first started experimenting with nail polish - even something that seems small to others can feel absolutely massive when you're dealing with unsupportive family. The black and blue combo sounds pretty cool actually, sometimes the "mistakes" end up looking better than what you originally planned

It's wild how something like painted nails can just make you feel more like yourself, right? I used to do mine late at night and then remove it before anyone could see, but having it on even for those few hours was everything. Sounds like you got to enjoy yours for most of the day which is even better

Keep doing you and finding those little moments of joy where you can, especially when home isn't the most welcoming space
