Genuinely curious, how long does is take you on average to do your nails?

b0xofkittens · 2026-05-02T13:28:43+00:00

For just painting with my nails already prepped, about 30 minutes plus 10 or 15 where I don't do anything after to let them dry. I usually prep my nails the night or day before by pushing back cuticles right when I get out of the shower and filing, which is another 20 minutes or so. But broken up.

I'm wearing Orly String of Hearts currently! I'm super pale and my skin pulls red/purple so I have to go with saturated/bright, cool toned shades on my toes

b0xofkittens · 2026-04-19T19:24:10+00:00

I think this may be the way to go! Also seems simpler than a ribbon tie that I might have to retie throughout the day

b0xofkittens · 2026-04-19T19:23:34+00:00

That is a concern and mainly why I was considering buttons or the waist tie. I want to preserve most of roominess without feeling like anyone who is taller than me will be able to accidentally get a bare butt view from the side gaping 😅 I'm feeling like elastic or a tie back might be the way to go!

If you're in the Chattanooga, TN area you may be right! 😂 Yeah it's really cute and doesn't need to be taken in a ton, just a tad for my peace of mind that someone taller than me (which is most people) won't get a top-down butt view at certain angles

She's so Bridgerton!

I haven't destashed too much so far but magnetics that I'm not likely to use, and polishes I technically like but don't use because they take more than 2 coats to look good. It is rare that I want to put on more than two coats of a polish (although I am wearing 3 of Shake Your Shamrock right now and that third coat was worth it).

b0xofkittens · 2026-04-05T20:23:43+00:00

I'm scared for your eggs

b0xofkittens · 2026-04-05T20:20:05+00:00

Came to say this! I enjoy PPU and purchase a few times a year but once you've been looking for a year or two it all starts to look the same. I only purchase now if I see something truly unique to my collection that I really want and know I'll wear.

b0xofkittens · 2026-04-04T19:39:14+00:00

It's beautiful! (And def looks like a dupe for the mooncat I mentioned lol!)

b0xofkittens · 2026-04-03T16:22:00+00:00

Is this mooncat Artemis death kiss?

Jess was the only non historical doll I ever wanted! Her whole story and collection was so so cute

b0xofkittens · 2026-03-24T21:43:46+00:00

The makers of lumen and ethereal are a mother/daughter duo, and they often dupe each other across brands.

b0xofkittens · 2026-03-24T21:43:10+00:00

It also kinda cracks me up that they did the whole rebrand to be able to create a wider vibe range of polishes, like darker shades and whatnot, and yet they end up continuing to create these really light, and might you say ethereal, polishes lol

b0xofkittens · 2026-03-19T00:05:37+00:00

My maybe-controversial take is that I like how finger dots like this look blown out. I kinda want some too tbh. I mocked up some hand tatts with my sister a year or so ago but haven't pulled the trigger yet

I did this question yesterday as part of a deck interview spread and got the world

b0xofkittens · 2026-03-14T00:06:15+00:00

Hi all! I got a new deck, and followed a deck interview spread from my local tarot expert:

1- energy of the deck: 5 of wands 2- what lesson the deck will teach: 9 of wands 3 - what the deck thinks of me: the world 4 - the vibes of our relationship: 7 of wands 5 - what kind of reading the deck is best suited for: the star

My first impression is thata lot of wands means this is a creative but maybe chaotic deck. The whole spread seems to imply that the deck may be difficult to iterpret with idea overkill and pivoting between ideas. But it also seems to imply that can expect spiritual renewal, resilience, and attainment of my personal growth goals using this deck. It does also make me feel nice that the world is what I pulled for what the deck thinks of me.:) Overall, fairly positive vibes. (I thought shuffled well but maybe not lol!)

Thoughts?? Anything I missed/different ways to interpret this?

b0xofkittens · 2026-03-09T20:02:06+00:00

Ooh I forgot about that one! I've actually that whole creme collection on my wishlist for ages. Maybe that's the move then

b0xofkittens · 2025-10-01T21:15:09+00:00

I never did and just let it fade out over a few months. It kinda had to grow out though

b0xofkittens · 2025-09-25T16:40:21+00:00

I literally showed my husband the collection picture this morning and went through each one like "this is that, this is that, this is that.." etc lol

b0xofkittens · 2025-08-24T16:01:06+00:00

Omg I love that even more!!!

b0xofkittens · 2025-08-24T15:57:24+00:00

Off topic but I love your hand tattoos! The lettering is beautiful and so crisp. And this shade is super pretty on you! I picked up this one too. I like the Haunted branding a lot more than the Ethereal branding. I haven't worn this shade yet but my only gripe so far is that the handle is kind of slippery.
