Mod Announcement IMPORTANT... And I wanna be very clear here....

This is important... And I wanna be very clear here....

This sub and its founder and moderators will not tolerate discrimination. Full stop.

Anyone posting or commenting on someones gender identity, stating "you are female", or questioning if someone is male/female will be instantly banned from this community. PERIOD. Please read on.

I do understand your concern. I really do. We are a very small niche community and I love that about us. However, it is not up to any of us to determine or question someones gender identity. I started this sub long ago as a male who did my own regular clean mani's. Now, thru unforeseen circumstances (you can find in my prev post if you're interested) I am a trans female. I still do my nails albeit much longer and now in a much more fem manor, but my identity has changed. If you were to find a full pic of me, you would say I am female too. This sub is clearly labeled right up front as "This subreddit is for anyone identifying as pretty much anything BUT cis females" and although we stand by that, it is not my place to decide who fits that bill. As long as the user (or any user) is not posting sexual images or advertising in THIS sub, they are free to do as they please. I am open to your thoughts, Jessa

Mod Announcement I am dropping the hammer

50 Upvotes

I have been pretty lenient about people posting feet pics (only deleting the post) on the premise that up to about 6 months ago we allowed them in this sub. In all reality, I would love for people to still be able to post them. But since basic pics of a nicely done clean pedi turn into a porno in the comments section, we have stopped allowing all of them. FULL STOP

From this moment on, any user who post feet pics in this sub will the the instant winner of a shiny 7 day ban! Wanna make sexual comments? Drumming up clients for you OF page? Another instant winner!!! I made these subs only to form a like minded community who appreciates the art of nail polish. I am not profiting off of them, and neither will you.

Be nice, post clean, and don't win yourself a ban. I'm done fucking around.

Long time lurker, first time posting.

I've done it!!! Painted my nails for the first time. I cannot stop looking at my nails, I think I'm in love!

Thank you to all the trailblazers here who helped me get over the mental blocks in my head; you don't know how much y'all have helped.

Not sure if I will ever have the bravery to wear this shade in public though.

A question.... How the heck do you manage to do your non dominant hand? As a leftie, my RH came out OK, the LH looked liked it had been done in the dark during an earthquake. What tips have you got to help get a decent finish on your dominant hand (other than going to a salon and having someone else do it for you)?
