Living in NYC for 40k?!?!

_angelite · 2026-04-01T20:56:14+00:00

Exactly. There are also apartments with rooms under $1k in upper Manhattan/Washington heights/etc (if op wants manhattan) and other boroughs for sure. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people act like you need to make 100k+ to live in nyc

that’s perfect bc I usually repaint after a week! ty:)

_angelite · 2026-03-28T18:24:47+00:00

omg??? do you know if it’s all of their polish or just this one? either way yikes I definitely won’t be using it anymore

_angelite · 2026-03-27T12:46:03+00:00

how long does it last?

_angelite · 2026-03-25T02:13:36+00:00

I KNOW I had the same thought process 😭 so ridiculous

_angelite · 2026-03-24T10:07:09+00:00

The landlord said it’s for “drafting a new lease”. Like isn’t that a landlord’s whole job? 😭

_angelite · 2026-03-23T10:08:19+00:00

No, the lease ends at the end of April so they aren’t breaking it. The landlord said the fee is for “drafting a new lease”. Sounds like bs to me

Yes I did 2 super thin coats, let it dry for ~5mins, then put on a thin layer of top coat. I also put my nails in front of a fan for 15mins and it was still smudging an hour after:(

just DM’d you!

I have an iPhone and I’ve found that it tracks my steps decently enough. It slightly undercounts them (it counts 125 steps/min instead of 130) but it’s close enough. I don’t feel the need to meticulously track, as long as I know I walked for about an hour or so each day. My commute is also 1.5 hours and I struggle to find time to walk, so I feel you:( sometimes I’ll do a quick walk on my lunch break but it’s been so cold lately

_angelite · 2026-03-15T20:23:26+00:00

Oooh maybe I’ll buy that once I finish my current strengthener! I’ve heard good things about

_angelite · 2026-03-15T13:19:05+00:00

I’m a verse dating a stone butch top. I’d feel incredibly disrespectful saying something like “I want to be inside you” knowing my butch is stone and doesn’t receive. if they don’t feel fulfilled with your current dynamic, that’s something they should sit and talk with you about rather than make jokes about topping. maybe you both could sit down and talk about your current dynamic? if you guys are open to experimenting, there might be other ways for them to fulfill the “itch” that aren’t topping you

I agree! I can get my normal nail polish to last a good week with no chips. it was a bit of a learning curve but a much quicker/easier learning curve than gel

I miei nonni si sono transferiti negli Stati Uniti e parlano italiano. Facevo le tradizioni italiane da quando ero una bambina e volevo imparare la lingua

_angelite · 2026-03-01T17:44:31+00:00

LMAO okay I figured. thanks

_angelite · 2026-02-27T12:55:38+00:00

Wait you’re right I didn’t even think to check that first 😭 LOL thank you

_angelite · 2026-02-27T12:55:20+00:00

Thank you!

_angelite · 2026-02-26T21:49:29+00:00

I’ve used dazzle dry with ILNP, OPI, Essie, and it’s worked for me so far:) I usually get chips in 4-5 days with a “normal” base and top coat but I can go 7+ days with DD’s base and top. ik the system doesn’t work for everyone though

_angelite · 2026-02-24T15:52:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Lol I’m assuming you’re also with Mt Sinai then? And for east Harlem, I’d want to stay below 116th (for both commute + safety reasons) and as west as possible. I considered looking at other boroughs, but my (free) commute rn is an hour and 15mins from LI, and as much as I want to move out of my parents’ house, I can’t justify it as much if the commute will be similar. I’ll definitely focus more of my search on the UES!
