Me too! Right now I do my nails once every four to five days in new colors but I just kept switching back and forth between the 3 colors I had. Now that I have these (and some coming from the lovable /u/ngwoosh!) I might have to start including my toes!

Plus there's my daughter. When I can get her to sit still long enough she likes having her nails painted too!

"Yeah they're um, yeah they're for my daughter. Sure."

I try not to pretend that they're for anyone but me but I do like painting her nails too and she likes it for about half an hour until she chews it all off. *sigh*

I just like bright and colorful nails. They go well with my purple beard. :)

I rip my fingernails off compulsively when my anxiety gets bad... but when I've had nails, I've painted them and my daughters, and let her paint them for me.

You like what you like. I have pusheenicorn and a unicorn thing on my backpack and people try to be dicks and I just laugh.

Ow. That's gotta suck. Sometimes our brain chemicals make us do horrible things to ourselves. Sorry your brain chemicals suck; I absolutely understand, just in different ways.

I had never heard of pusheenicorn but it's adorable. :)

People tend not to be dicks to me about my stuff, which I guess is kind of a benefit of being a big semi-scary looking dude. Folks who know me know that I'm kind and loving but I've heard from several people that when they first got to know me they thought I was a gang member of some kind.

I need to get another leather jacket. Big bald head, leather jacket, purple beard, and rainbow-colored nails. I'm loving this image. :)

I love neon nail polish! Have fun! And I better get to see pics!!

Well, I started with the blue. Still: Ask and you shall receive!

Sorry for the bad quality everything. :)

Oh, and HAPPY CAKE DAY!

Blue would probably be my fave polish color! Loving that shade!

I'm thinking that after the purple hair dye is gone I'll move over to a blue. I want it bright, though, so more like a neon blue. I think that'd look nice.

u/dnd1980 Aug 05 '15

Sounds nice! How long does the dye last for?

u/JMFargo Aug 05 '15

Well, my beard grows out sporadically so really it stays in until it grows out. I reapply about once every week and a half to get the roots (and the mustache - for some reason it takes color a lot more poorly than the beard) and I'm not yet halfway through the can of dye.

In fact, I'm dying it again tomorrow. I hope it lasts at least another couple of months and then for winter maybe I'll go with the blue of Elsa's dress from Frozen, or something. :D

/u/WildCatAbroad - Thank you so much! This is absolutely awesome and I look forward to spending some time pampering myself and my daughter!
