@Wildfire: a change of pace is VERY welcome. i've been bored out of my mind. they've been going stir crazy being cooped up in their house all day so this is a good change of pace for them too. i have a lot of entertainment stuff at my house for them (coloring books, paints, books etc) since i watch them pretty often so thankfully there's no shortage of things to do. they love helping/watching me cook and bake. it's supposed to be pretty nice outside tomorrow so perhaps a picnic in the yard would be nice!

my stepbrother really needed some help with his 2 daughters (5 & 8). his wife is a nurse and has been working very long, very difficult hours during the pandemic so he has basically been solo parenting for weeks. i don't have any health problems and don't have to leave the house for anything, so even if they have covid19/infect me, it's not the end of the world. so they're gonna be here until tuesday. although if i die you guys will know what's up lol.
i usually see them every week so it's been weird not seeing them during this whole thing.

it's nice having kids around the house! i can't wait to have some of my own.

how have those of you that are parents been coping? i imagine it's tough having everyone stuck in the house full-time.

@koneko: that actually does exist, it's called crackle polish. i think china glaze and OPI both make (made?) their own versions of it. it was a big thing like 8-10 years ago
OPI also used to make a liquid sand line which gave your nails a super rough look and sandy texture. you can still find it on ebay

i've never used starrily, but i can highly recommend cirque colors, fun lacquer, and a england. drugstore brands like china glaze and opi are fine. sally's carries a line called nina which has good, pigmented colors and i love the brush they use. tbh most of the non-chip power is going to be in your base and top coat. i've been able to keep some sinful colors (that super cheap $2 per bottle nail polish you can get literally anywhere) on my nails for quite a while.

essie makes a great sticky base and i pretty much exclusively use the quick dry top coat from seche vite. i wouldn't trust a 2 in 1 - you need them to do different things. your base needs to provide a rough and sticky surface for the polish to really stick to. and top coat needs to be shiny and glossy and thick and protective. idk man.
