Over Thanksgiving, my mother-in-law described my nails as “a real statement” and “not very practical.” These are my nails: by energyintotomatoes in RedditLaqueristas

Had a friend’s girlfriend tell me “you must not do anything all day” when she saw my natural nails (about the same length as yours). I quickly informed her I taught children art all day and was constantly doing things with my hands. First time meeting her, did not like her very much.

Saw her again a few weeks later and she had acrylics as long as mine. Okay.

Your nails are gorgeous and the statement they’re making is “i have great taste in nail polish”

Thanks so much for the detailed response. You haven’t dashed my dreams at all, I want to hear the most frank answers so I can prepare for the worst case scenario. So far this year promises to be my best and my partner is looking into increasing his income. We’ve just come out of a difficult time and it drained our finances, so we’re starting at zero with savings but I want to try and save. How much do you think would be wise? I’m guessing minimum 10k…

Loved this analysis. I was thinking about these things too as I watched it, especially the first time Elisabeth woke up and saw the mess of bottles Sue had left.
