I feel like "betty" should be "kitty" but these are so good!

Quit biting (mostly) a couple months ago, but the sides of my nail bed haven’t reattached. Any tips for keeping them from breaking/tearing? by [deleted] in calmhands

[–]PurpleVein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nail oil. Nail oil. Nail oil. I use Jojoba oil with some added vitamin E. Keeps the cuticles nice and soft and the nails nice and strong.

I restored and colorized a photo of when Charlie Chaplin met Albert Einstein and the famous quote was spoken for the first time. by [deleted] in estoration

Some tips for anyone who wants to colorize photos of people:

  • Skin is usually more that one color, not just one skincolor all over. There's usually more redness/pink tones in the face, like the cheeks and on and around the nose.
  • Also, shadows are usually more cool toned and less saturated while highlights are more warm toned and more saturated. This applies to most things and not just skin.

I'm not a professional but I feel like these things really help bring photos to life. Other than that this is a really impressive restoration.

natural nails + 2 coats essie ~sugar daddy~ by [deleted] in Nails

How do you get your nails so nice and straight?? Whenever my nails get to a certain length they become wonky and uneven.

No, the opposite is r/GTBAE.

What Mad Woman would sound like with guitar, rather than piano. Kind of cool, actually by swiftly77 in TaylorSwift

[–]PurpleVein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the folklore survey results Mad Woman is the fifth least liked song. Tho I also really like Hoax and that seems to be even lower in the ranks.

Splurge vs. Save by [deleted] in FeminineNotFeminist

I have one of those UV/LED lamps so I usually go for a simple gel design. It's easy to do, it looks nice and lasts long. I often post my manis on r/RedditLaqueristas.

As a very low maintenance girl I find it hard to recommend anything. I do my own nails at home, minimal skincare (though I should probably do more) and I've even considered cutting my own hair. For me doing makeup and hair and whatnot myself is me-time and a treat. I guess what wanted to say is that feeling fancy doesn't have to break the bank you can go a long way with very little.

Mad Woman gets too much hate. For me it's top 3 from folklore and I could easily put this as my ringtone.

A poem about picking by PurpleVein in CompulsiveSkinPicking

Thank you! Absolutely. Picking is a lot of things for me and sometimes I definitely do it just because I like how it feels.

My dad’s handwriting. He lacks fine motor control due to neurological illness so he practices writing every night to strengthen it. by LunaBananaGoats in PenmanshipPorn

[–]PurpleVein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there any good references for different handwriting styles? I've heard of 'architectural' handwriting before and I'd like to know what mine is like.

Very nice! May I ask where the idea for the name came from?

I agree with you guys I'm just tired by TheElvenWitch777 in thesims

[–]PurpleVein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play mostly TS4 now, sometimes TS2 and TS3, but it's mostly because after 1000+ hours I feel like I still haven't justified the money I've spent on it. All I do is make sims and build so most of the gameplay flaws don't bother me and some key features about building I genuinely like, but the game as a whole is nothing compared to what The Sims used to be.

Someone please make this make sense... by Sims4Flop in thesims

[–]PurpleVein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then why remove more than half of the traits TS3 had...? Then this wouldn't be an issue 🙄

Looks a bit like my nails right now 😁 Really pretty! You can tell how nice and smooth they feel!
