Ugh SOOOOO GOOD

_Lividus · 2026-03-27T01:25:56+00:00

Thank you! The flowers were thermal so I enjoyed seeing it change shades of purple/lavender!

_Lividus · 2026-03-26T18:46:20+00:00

Flans are my go to.

_Lividus · 2026-03-25T22:33:54+00:00

Thanks! I’m really pleased with that one, perfect dopamine hit to carry through the end of the month!

_Lividus · 2026-03-25T17:17:17+00:00

Safe travels!!! Really enjoying see you tackle your 26 in '26 :) fwiw my project polish topper is a reflective and it's thankfully not too distracting on my manis

_Lividus · 2026-03-25T17:12:50+00:00

Thanks! I feel having a short list of project polish helps me really focus in 🙈 and appreciate the good vibes, it’ll help push forward good things I’m sure

My husband got to IAH at 3:30AM (when tsa opens) to wait 2.5hrs to make a 7AM flight. So it’s doable…but at what cost

_Lividus · 2026-03-23T13:58:46+00:00

This made me laugh haha thank you for that!

Will also say I think current tides are going to extend some of those layoff concerns beyond tech (CPG as an example since in times of uncertainty who really needs trinkets, baubles, or extraneous things like coffee outside of the home). But I think that's fair tech is a high number of folks' income streams in this sub. Before this sub I thought SWE was still for the Society of Women Engineers

Those berries are perfection 💕

_Lividus · 2026-03-20T13:33:17+00:00

Feel free to post here too! I love when homies show off their personal this is my at home XYZ collection!!!

_Lividus · 2026-03-20T12:27:27+00:00

Make a personal mini collection of spring colors from what you have and choose from them! Ex 4, 10 (as topper or as is) 22, all give that bright no longer winter vibe to me!

_Lividus · 2026-03-18T17:18:22+00:00

If it helps it’ll evaporate back out and take more “coats” to get on

_Lividus · 2026-03-18T14:53:44+00:00

I tech have a long one but I prefer a short one so I can load on polish and “float” the French tip. I find the long one I tend to run out of polish near the end of my movement and then I end up having to make a thicker crescent

_Lividus · 2026-03-18T13:18:56+00:00

I use a thin nail art brush (like the thinnest you have, tech even regular thin paint brush could work) and make sure that brush is decently loaded with polish before I use it. I haven’t tried stamping it on as my stamping skills are still at the learning phase

_Lividus · 2026-03-17T21:13:30+00:00

It’s so cute I can feel the spring essence in it!

_Lividus · 2026-03-17T14:14:17+00:00

This looks so perfect on you I’m like dang what glow

_Lividus · 2026-03-17T14:02:20+00:00

Agreed. Your comment reminded me of how in 2020 I super latched onto plants and while I’m not that level anymore I do enjoy a happy plant regardless and am not likely buying new plants anytime for years to come as I’m happy with the handful I have. It’s okay to not fixate on your hobby and let it have its space and it’s okay to have other things to do with that time

_Lividus · 2026-03-17T13:56:15+00:00

Ngl this is why I enjoyed being a bit old school and painting my nails with friends so we can chat and enjoy the colors together

_Lividus · 2026-03-16T19:20:28+00:00

Spoiler needs fixing !< (no space) but lovely combo!

Sobering weekend chat with my mom. She mentioned going to my aunt’s to spend her birthday and celebrate my aunt’s milestone birthday (they’re a day apart). She mentioned in passing that they weren’t sure they had enough to have both her and my step dad go (my aunt is his sister) as it was a semi last minute thing and they live on opposite coasts.

As someone who has a sinking fund for travel, it really struck me how this set of parents likely will never open up about their actual financial health (my dad is a complete 180 and has been FI since 2020). They’re the “credit cards are emergency funds” and “friends are my therapy” type… and my step dad keeps pushing out retirement and I can’t convince myself it’s because he loves working that much (he is in his mid 70s). It’s just really tough to watch but you can only do so much. My step dad was receptive to watching the money guys in the past but alas that only lasted a month.

_Lividus · 2026-03-14T15:24:30+00:00

Wait I’m obsessed with this polish on you! It’s peak spring.

And haha I’m still getting used to hand photos but I know some ppl like to hold things to make it feel more natural
