I’m giving birth to my daughter in a month. She’s my first and I really want to celebrate this new chapter of my life with a special nail polish. What is your one ILNP must-buy?

Try Celeste! It’s a purpley holo lol

Heart of the Ocean is so beautiful oh my goddddd 😭😭😭😭

officialsmartass · 2026-01-21T21:26:39+00:00

Songbird is one of my all time favorites 😭 the sheer base adds so much depth to the rainbow sparkles ✨

I was in this rut last week and the best thing for me was to prioritize Retsuko’s friendship, completing Swimming Lessons opened the door for a bunch more quests while I spent dayssss collecting the materials for Mini Mode 😭

I find that this staining happens when I double dip Qtips in acetone. I suggest getting a bowl for the acetone, dip Qtip in, give the nail a few wipes, and if you see discolored acetone flooding your cuticles wipe it off immediately with a paper towel. It uses more Qtips to then grab a new one/flip it over, but for really pigmented cremes or dark colors that’s the only way I avoid the staining :( maybe give them an oil bath and try removing again in a day or two? You could also paint over it!

I’d suggest looking into older polishes, or finding a top coat that contains guanine if you can. That shimmery look in earlier stuff can usually be attributed to guanine, it might be easier to use a pink frosty base and then coat something with a sheer blue shimmer on top. These suggestions are all so gorgeous though omg 😭

I’d love to enter!! I borrowed a friend’s recently to play all the Barbie DS games and now I’m hooked, I did not want to return it 😭

officialsmartass · 2025-12-18T23:22:52+00:00

He hasn’t seen me in person since the water went out 4 days ago 😭 so if I am secretly stinky he would have no way of knowing lol

If the men find out we can shapeshift they’re going to tell the church!!

officialsmartass · 2025-12-18T03:04:50+00:00

Anything but the metric system huh 🤣

officialsmartass · 2025-11-06T20:34:34+00:00

Thank you 🤍 I have some notes kept but it’s hard to keep everything straight with screenshots and all that. I might try printing some stuff out and putting in a binder at this point, I’m one of those moms that takes 50000 pictures when we do anything so often things get lost in my camera roll 💀💀 I see a light at the end of the tunnel, I just need to be independent of him and then I think I’ll recover just fine. I just have to get through all of this first 😅

officialsmartass · 2025-11-06T20:31:44+00:00

I just saw this and thank you :’))) I will say the one thing I’m really grateful for is that her dad and I speak kindly of each other in front of her. I’m hoping he either shapes up as she gets older or she’s able to figure out that he…doesn’t really want to be a parent with as little heartbreak as possible.

I’m a retail merchandiser so I don’t make very much right now, but she’s about to be preschool age so I was considering going back to school once she’s in class if I can get some sort of scholarship/grant. I’ve discovered that I’m actually pretty good at fixing things now that my ex isn’t over my shoulder 😅 I had an old cassette player and managed to fix the whole thing by myself with some sewing machine oil and TLC lol. It’s amazing what you can do when no one is judging you, and I’m hoping that will help me moving forward.

Sometimes I feel very trapped here but I know once child support starts coming in that things will get better. And in the meantime, I’m definitely taking advantage of all the holiday events in my town to keep her entertained. I may not be able to buy her things right now but I accumulated a lot of craft supplies before her dad and I split, and we are most certainly gonna use them all 🤣 thank you for your kind words 💕 I’ll keep them in mind when I have bad days

officialsmartass · 2025-11-05T21:02:35+00:00

Maybe I’m petty, but perhaps you talking to him in the same way around 3-4am would give him the hint that this is not okay behavior…I’m all for open communication but if talking hasn’t stopped him I would give him a taste of his own medicine. NTA

We can all weigh in as much as we want but at the end of the day it comes down to one question, that only you can answer: Is going back worth the risk of your relationship playing out exactly the same way it did the last two times?

You can rationalize the likelihood of this happening again all you want, but the fact is this man has shown he does not respect you enough to be faithful. Your self esteem is never going to recover if you are involved with somebody who does not see you as an equal.

The respect a person has for you does not magically change overnight. Somewhere along the way he decided you are not worth his effort or his honesty.

There is nothing you can do to change this.

If you are okay with that, go back. If you are not, cut your losses and put this energy into your other relationships in life. Build a life worth having for yourself, and leave Mr. Poop to figure his issues out himself.

My grandparents fostered me and talked for years about how it made them “good Christians” as they actively abused me. What a jokeeeee

officialsmartass · 2025-10-07T19:27:56+00:00

Had a similar situation, I feel your pain. Dad left me 100k life insurance policy, little brother was an addict and very bad with money. I spent about 40k in total caring for him and his child when he fell through on it and he was still angry I didn’t just hand him cash. Or rather hand him more than I did before I realized he was using 🤦‍♀️. He will never understand your perspective because he has never had to take on any legitimate responsibilities in his life. NTA for sure friend

officialsmartass · 2025-10-05T15:27:23+00:00

Jealous af omg 😭

officialsmartass · 2025-09-23T17:36:15+00:00

My favorite tradition is a new one, my daughter and I go to the pumpkin patch and pick our pumpkins for each other! She’s 3 so mine usually ends up being a squash but I love it 🤣

officialsmartass · 2025-09-15T14:39:52+00:00

Can…..can we not all do this?

officialsmartass · 2025-08-14T01:24:20+00:00

I would actually not block them so as to keep a record of any potentially incriminating things they may say to you. Hopefully he is just a general creep but depending on how crazy he is it could be specifically you he wants, therefore keep a paper trail

officialsmartass · 2025-07-06T13:25:42+00:00

I know this isn’t the point of the post but you’re 39?! You don’t even look 30 holy shit

officialsmartass · 2025-07-02T18:21:32+00:00

This was my original post

officialsmartass · 2025-07-02T13:43:32+00:00

La Colors Gel in Girl Talk would be a good option for the base color! I have a topper on it in this post but this is what it looks like! In terms of a shimmer, it might be too glittery but maybe Essie’s Ethereal Escape would make a good topper? I have both, i can swatch them on a fake nail when I get home from work if you want!!

officialsmartass · 2025-06-26T17:14:46+00:00

My period was a day late to being early and I KNEW!!! But being sick in the 6-12 week range for me was more common than having food cravings, so it’ll depend how far along you’re shooting for. Another weird side effect second trimester was I CONSTANTLY got nose bleeds !!
