I did val's nails last night.

stole my husband's straw from wendy's, cut it into little nail tips, glued that on, and went over the top with polygel and a gel topcoat. this has been the best method for making long doll nails i have used so far.

for shorter nails, you really don't need tips from a straw, as scene on hawthorne. these things are solid, gorgeous, and not coming off.

val's nails are a bit more delicate, but I had to make them ridiculously long because it's very out of character for him to not have long nails. val is naked without claws, chest hair, and big poofy hair.

for my next experiment, i will be creating nail forms out by sculpting an epoxy "bed" and seeing if i can sculpt with polygel directly onto it to create nails on top. this would be ideal so I do not have to rely on the straws sticking to the hand. polygel is Much sturdier on its own.

hiiiiiiiii, i was wondering if your requests were open, and if so, could you do a hair braiding fic with Wally Darling x gn!reader? like. wally has No Idea how to braid hair because his hair is always, Like That and the reader teaches him how and then he does their hair and they're both blushing and,

accidentally went off the rails and wrote 2k+ words and i forgot the prompt halfway but here it is :”D i literally have no idea how to braid hair or fix hair. tried to learn before i chopped it off and literally cried sooo there’s no tutorial in here djdvshdvsh super fun to write!! sorry if it wasn’t what you expected aha

cw: touch-centric, maybeee non-consensual kissing?? reader is cool with it but no questions were asked, mild implications of mind-reading, mentions of blood and needles

Desc: Wally X Human Reader,,, julie and wally style your hair before the former needs to leave due to a butterfly-related emergency. it’s just you and him.

No horror this time lol

Everyone in Home was just so fascinated with your hair! Especially Julie. She was pretty handy with her own locks of yarn, so when you strolled in with those thread-thin layers (no, thinner than thread!) she was lightning-fast to sink her hands into it and start suggesting styles! Poor girl nearly exploded when you told her she could go crazy with it, you didn’t mind! You were at ease just letting her run a comically large comb through it, but you were yanked from your serenity when she pulled out the needles.

Turns out, the citizens of Home have a unique way of grooming, involving pins and sharp bits, string, a bit of dexterity…

Her scream was as instantaneous as your yelp. You grabbed the back of your head and felt a hot dewdrop stick to your palm.

Honest mistake, really. You told Julie she was fine! You should have thought of it sooner, haha. There was a teary-eyed apology and a hug. You’re never going to get used to their empathy, you think.

Later, she was recalling the strange story to her friends, noting that their new buddy is slap-full of paint! It hurts for that paint to spill out, apparently! Wally was listening.

Little guy creeped you out, honestly. It wasn’t like you didn’t like spending time with him, you just always felt like there was something brewing behind that permanent smile. No one else seemed to notice or care.

And he was on to you, too. Your mind felt… strange when he was around. You don’t know how to voice these concerns, so you didn’t.

You were fast friends either way. There was a mutual understanding of… something. You knew you two were kindred spirits right when you laid eyes on him.

Anyways.

You loved that big ole’ ball of yarn he had. “Hair” was a strong word, it was all stitched in, but it was even better to bat around or give a little squeeze! And he sure didn’t mind at all! Sometimes he’d even ask you to run your fingers through it or stitch something back into place. He trusted you a lot with his pomp. You think it has to do with your agile fingers, or your nails. (Your nails were a big hit in Home! You gave the best scritches, according to Barnaby.)

You eventually rescheduled that hair-styling date with Julie, more than a few times. The neighbors were never far behind, but Wally tagged along the most. His passion for fashion was no secret so he and Julie collaborated often to dress you up like a doll. You’d get the chance to style them, too. They thought your preferences were unique for a number of reasons and marveled at their transformations.

Today was one of those days. You had your head hanging over the sink, squeezing out shampoo. You had brought your own products because fabric softener didn’t agree with your… anything, really. You were washing out the absolute excess of spray, gel, glue, and whatever the heck Julie had plastered to your skull for your latest look. Your scalp was screaming for emptiness, but sweet Jul still had some fire left in her and was intent to braid your whole head while it was damp, as she was basically dreaming to see you with a head full of curls! You’d do anything for her, so whatever.

Wally was sitting on the counter, gazing at himself in a small hand-held mirror with the larger bathroom mirror blatantly behind him. His lips were moving silently in accordance to a song playing idly from the record player in another room.

Julie was beside you, also bouncing along to the distant melody, doing her makeup. She was in an orange mood today, she said.

“Alright, Jul, I’m ready.” You stood straight up and attempted to straighten out your aching back.

“Oh! But my…! Give me a second, just wring it out; I’m almost there.”

You took a towel and gave your hair a good squeeze, having a brief vision of folding it on the floor like a pillow and going to sleep. You prayed she’d have you sit down.

“Okie-dokie!” She slapped her pallette down on the counter. Wally looked up. “I’m ready.”

You yawned and you felt your eyes unfocus in the mirror. Standing on a stool to reach you, she ran her hands through your wet locks until it reached some sort of satisfactory position, and started from the top. You could feel her precision in your skull.

Wally’s attention drifted away from himself and he leaned in; his lazy gaze looking very similar to your own at the moment. “Now how’re you doing that, Julie?”

“It’s super easy! You just section it out, like so…”

Her explanation was lost on you. You were fantasizing about a nap.

“You try it!”

You floated back into reality when gentle hands sifted into your hair. With Julie, debatably a professional, styling and cutting for you all the time, you could easily sense the inexperience. The process began again, albeit slower, clumsier, and Julie started to tap her foot.

“You take that side, and I’ll take this side! We’ll be done in no time.”

Braid upon braid was piled onto your head. You focused more on the progress on your left, where you actually saw Wally squint in the mirror. Julie worked so fast that you couldn’t even feel it sometimes. Wally had his soft fingers against your scalp, tugging gently at the strands tight to your head for closer coverage. Julie stopped to help him every once in a while. You closed your eyes.

A commotion from the living room. Doors being thrown open.

“Julie, by stars, we NEED you!” Frank had rushed into the bathroom with the frenzy of someone being chased by an ax murderer. “A-27 is emerging and has requested you be there! For her, Julie!”

Julie gasped and dropped the hair she had so delicately braided. “Chryssabellum? She isn’t due for another week! Oh, um Wally!” She ran backwards out the door and flicked her hand. “You finish that!”

The door was swung halfway closed and the two were gone in a flash. You just stared.

“Hi, Frank. Okay, Julie.” Wally said after a long moment of them being gone. He hadn’t even looked up from braiding.

“Wow.” You breathed. Okay. “Can we sit down?”

“Sure. You look very very tired. I would be too, I think.”

You let out the most satisfying sigh ever and sank to the floor. The cold linoleum was heavenly in contrast to the balmy air. With only being twelve apples tall, Wally could still easily reach the top of your head. You planted your hands on the floor and leaned your head back, resting it on your shoulders.

His progress didn’t shift at all. He kept at it, slow, careful, learning, folding your hair over and over again.

Now that you think about it, Wally’s never fooled with your hair before. He was more of a wardrobe guy. “How’s it going back there?”

“It is going much!”

You let out another dramatic sigh. “She worked me today, Wally. She really did.”

“I can tell. You looked nice though. And funny.” He went for that spot between your neck and your skull, making little scratching motions to bring the hair closer to him before starting to braid. You let your eyes slip shut. He got on his knees for a better angle.

Yet another sigh. You got off your hands completely, preferring to lean back into his lap. Unbothered, yet hindered, he took his hands away, gazing down.

“You got sweet little hands, man.” You iterated by taking one in your own. It was damp from your hair. His whole outfit, including him, was now dampened by your hair.

“Thank you. They’re mine.”

“They are.” You repeated, smiling. It was sadly taken away.

“Sorry. Julie told me to finish.”

You huffed lightheartedly. “Can you manage upside-down?”

“I can try.” He straightened his legs, placing each at your side.

So you rolled over, crossing your arms over his thighs (or the equivalent) and laying on them. Your forehead was comfy against his abdomen. Finally satisfied, your eyelids dropped.

He started working on your hair again, adapting to the new position quickly. You were lost in the motions once again before the record player, for the first time that night, caught your attention.

It was playing something slow, emotional. Not quite sultry, you think. Goodness no. Just… passionate. Wally was humming along. You could feel the tiny rumble coming from somewhere inside him as he did so. Every once in a while, he’d whisper a breathy strand of lyrics that had you… thinking.

Everyone in Home was about as shy as a golden retriever. Embraces like this were not uncommon. In the time you’ve existed here, you’ve been hugged, kissed, cuddled, coddled, and just plain handled more than you ever have in your entire life.

So why were you all of a sudden funny about it? It’s not like your position was scandalous. Could be misinterpreted among humans, but it was very very very difficult for puppets to be scandalous. You appreciated that. You’ll forget about these fuzzy feelings later, you reckon. Hopefully.

He must have finished, or was close to it, because the lovely little motions stopped and he had one braid between his fingers.

“It’s like a paintbrush.” He positioned the end to mimic the act of painting his hand. “You’re full of them.”

You smiled against his legs. Now that he didn’t have an objective, you lazily looped your arms around him, further crushing yourself into his middle. He folded his hands in your hair.

Wally didn’t feel the need to make conversation or small talk, or anything like that. You were fine, there was no pressure on you to do so either. He was content to stare holes in the back of your head. You imagined that he was painting you in his mind, picking out a shade for each thread of your hair, envisioning just the right stroke at just the right speed so he could fully capture the wonders of you. Maybe he’d even paint with your hair. That’d be a fun exercise.

You got bored of imagining and flipped over. He never let go of you, which translated to his hands lightly traveling to your cheeks. You were met with deep black vaults, barely outlined by white, connecting with your own. Startling to a stranger, slightly less startling to you.

With his hands on either side of your face, you couldn’t help but feel something other than fear. You reached up and poked where his nose would be. He returned the gesture by brushing his thumbs down the slopes of your nose. The record player continued softly.

“Sorry for getting you all wet.” His damp hands felt nice though. Like getting a facial. You wouldn’t be surprised if your skin was a tad shinier after this.

“It’s fine. You’re still warm.”

Your face sure felt warm.

It slowly dawned on you that this interaction was getting less and less friendly. In the best of ways. Would he even know what you were talking about if you brought it up? Probably not. You’d sound like an idiot if you were too direct.

“What’re we doing here, Walls?”

His smile barely widened, in a half-laugh kind of way. His thumbs moved to smooth your cheekbones. They ached from your smile.

“The funny things you’re thinking about… that’s what we’re doing.”

You were just about to ask what he meant.

“Muah.” He said, against your teeth, catching your open mouth just in time. You felt fuzz on your tongue. His departure somehow caught your bottom lip. It tapped back to your teeth unceremoniously. Over before you knew it.

Very not friendly, you realized.

“Wally!” You flicked him on the shoulder, playfully offended. “Some gentlemen you are.”

He giggled, mirth wrinkling his eyes and your own.

“Did I do good?”

You licked your lips unconsciously. “Yeah, yeah. That was fine.”

His hand found your chin, barely tugging at your lip. It didn’t even expose your teeth, just serving to drive you absolutely insane.

“Are you sure I did it right…?” He asked.

“You usually open your mouth.” You finally said, quietly. Your hands and fingers and nails found the back of his head, burrowing under the yarn of that stitched in hair-do.

“Oh. That’s it, then.” His volume matched your own. You were lowering him towards you. Of course he’d have his eyes open, wide and starry. You got ready to close yours. You had just the faintest idea of what you were about to do.

A commotion from the front door.

You meant to yank your hand out of his hair and act as natural as possible when your finger snagged and you ended up snatching his head to the side.

“Oh! N— Wally I am so sorry.” Poor guy looked completely bewildered.

You automatically glanced at the door to see Julie’s befuddled gaze that clearly asked ‘Am I interrupting something?’ She said nothing, but cracked a grin as you hastily untangled from his pomp and addressed her from his lap way too casually.

“So, how did it go!”

“Um, good! Good. A little rough at first. Chrysabellum has a pattern on her wings that we haven’t seen before…”

She was definitely asking you about this later. And you definitely weren’t going to know what to say.

I gave Hawthorne fake nails today. With no tutorial to help me, I expected to crash and burn.

I did not. They are lovely.

Here are some notes on what I did, in case you want to attempt this yourself:

Before attempting this, I highly reccommend watching a few youtube tutorials on how to sculpt polygel over a nail form. It helps if you have knowledge of how to form gel nails.

I purchased a polygel nail kit for $20 off Amazon. It came with a curing light, a nail file, a brush, a spatula, slip solution, and tubes of polygel. I highly recommend this. I used everything in the kit, and it is much more expensive to buy everything separately. The only complaints in the reviews were that you get too small of an amount of polygel and slip solution, but if you are using this for dolls, this shouldn't be a problem.

You may want to replace the slip solution with 72% alcohol. It works the same way, is probably better for your doll than slip solution that is made for humans, but I did use the slip solution in the kit.

The first thing I tried was making nail forms out of Scotch tape, but instead of cutting a hole for the nail like a traditional nail form (the hole would be too small) I chose to cover the nail and sculpt with the polygel on top of them, then try glueing them onto the nail afterward. This would probably work with more practice, but it was much more effective just to sculpt right on top of the nail without a form. With this method, you will not be able to make them very long, but they will be sturdy, stick well, and look pretty clean and smooth.

The only issue one might have is the way it looks from some angles, but I personally don't mind. I'll try and explain what I'm saying:

I sculpted these without a form, and as a result, from some angles, the nails can look heavy and round. I chalk this up to it being simply unrealistic to expect paper-thin sculpting on a pair of tiny hands.

Personally, I don't think this shape is a downside at all. I've seen a lot of long-nailed BJD hands that have the nails sort of... "molded" into the finger, probably for ease of casting?? But probably also because they won't snag on clothes and break. If I hadn't made the nails this shape, it'd be a lot easier to break them.

However, the reason I am embarking on this journey of doll manicuring is because I have a gyaru boy on the way, who I want to give long, ridiculous, sparkly pink nails, covered in gems. This formless method will not work for him. For this, I am going to make long tips out of plastic from straws, glue them on, and build the polygel on top. In order to reinforce it, however, I will be adding more polygel underneath, because I do *not* want these to break. This is definitely going to be "hands-off when taking off his shirt" situation.

Polygel... is sticky. I had to cure these nails multiple times. It's hard to get a small enough bead on the tip of the nail because polygel is meant to be applied in one large bead on a human nail. It takes a lot of slip solution to sculpt it, and using too much slip solution can make the curing go too sticky. It takes a little practice, but the nails look great regardless. Didn't even have to redo any.

My work process was as follows:

1. Sculpt the nails

2. Cure 30 seconds

3. Add another layer of gel to get them a bit longer and stronger

4. Cure 1 minute

5. Clean off the stickiness on top of the nails with alcohol or acetone

6. File the tops of the nails AND the bottoms (with respiratory protection PLEASE) and shape them how you like

7. Gel topcoat. Very important.

8. Cure 30 seconds.

After that, I just cleaned off whatever stickiness the polygel left behind with acetone.

This was my first attempt at this, but I always have trouble finding tutorials about this that I understand. I don't think I can fully be an authority on how to make these after one set, but I hope these notes help anyone looking to attempt this! All it took was a kit and about an hour, not even.

That Crybaby Witch!

you are here! - ch. ii

Word Count: 3.3k+ Tags: Meet Cute/First Friends

Art is by 1000kcal_ on Twitter!

No human being is born inherently evil, but no human being is born inherently good either.

Mina held the plastic wrapped veggie sandwich in her hands as she slipped out of the crowded lunchroom. Searching for somewhere quieter to enjoy her lunch. It was a shame she struggled to make friends like the others around her. Even when she witnessed the other girls popping out of the coffins to join the school’s population at Night Raven College… The excessive amount of boys was too terrifying. The ratio wasn’t equal in the slightest and the Headmage did not account for the possibility of a small collection of young ladies staying on campus.

And it wasn’t like she could easily explain the reasoning behind her phobia. “Too much of a bummer…” Mina grumbled as she made her way through the long empty halls of Night Raven College. She had already been here two weeks and she had yet to gather the courage to speak to the other girls staying in Ramshackle. And Mina couldn’t fathom making a male friend of her own free will. Well, except Mr. Handsome. She looked down at the pink puffball with a smile, watching him sway back and forth from each step she took. “You don’t mind spending time with me do you?” She asked and gently scooped him into her palm as the gold clasp attaching him to her bright pink school bag magically came undone. “Your Majesty, I would like nothing more.” His voice was rich and deep, which always soothed Mina despite her fear of the opposite sex. Maybe it was because he was her legal guardian? “You don’t have to call me that. I’m not a queen anymore. And I haven’t been since… Uhhh… Well, y’know.” She smiled awkwardly and the puffball remained motionless. “It would be rude of me to address you by name. Even with time passing… Even after changing your diapers-”

“Alright, alright…” She stopped him with her cheeks filling with red rouge and the tips of her ears began to burn. Mina looked away, listening to him chuckle as she continued to walk through the school’s halls. “I am only teasing, my kindest Mina.” He apologized sweetly as she ducked into the first classroom she spotted in hopes of eating alone with Mr. Handsome. But this new world wasn’t that kind.

There was one other person in the room. A male student with long, dark colored hair. He had his head resting on his folded arms, face down on the desk while softly snoring. He was sleeping in the farthest back row, which means Mina would place herself in the farthest front row. She had wanted to speak with Mr. Handsome during the short period of respite. But if there was another person present that wouldn’t be possible. She was already seen as a bizarre person in her old world. Mumbling to a small puffball and addressing him with a nickname… She looked as friendless as she actually was. Mr. Handsome told Mina that he wouldn’t engage in conversation if there were other people around. For the sake of Mina finally developing a social life.

If she didn’t start now, she would become a far more tragic adult. The blonde sat on the smooth wooden bench and slid down the row, laying Mr. Handsome on the table before placing her school bag beside her.

She pulled out her phone with a fresh new case for the week. Last week was a plain dreamy pink. This week was clear, with hot pink leopard print spots and gold lining the exposed area where her three cameras were. A necessary purchase from Sam’s shop. Next was her colorful dolphin themed notebook with a matching fluffy gel pen. After that was a heavy green book she had gotten from the library so she could study for Professor Trein’s upcoming quiz in magical history.

But today? It would be her phone stand as she watched videos and ate quietly with Mr. Handsome. It was a Halloween nail tutorial for today’s entertainment as Mina bit into her sandwich with a pleased smile. Sourdough bread, pesto, coleslaw, and red peppers. Mina sensed that her skin would start breaking out soon from the stress of the ‘I’m stranded in an entirely new universe’ situation. Which means, oily meat and sugar had to go for a while. She opened her water bottle with a soft sigh as she watched the tutorial showing how to make candy corn designs and little ghosts. But the young lady had grown quickly disinterested in what she was watching. Mina began to daydream about the fizzy deliciousness of pop rocks candy on her tongue. How she wished she could have a sweet lemony tea or a nerve jittering iced coffee. A delicious turkey and honey mustard sandwich with a small bowl of cotton candy grapes. She looked sadly at Mr. Handsome. Although in the keychain state, he looked just as distraught as she did over the lack of protein and sweets. “It’s all for the sake of my skin. One zit, and I’ll be condemned to online classes until we get back home.” Mina whispered to him sadly as she returned her focus to her phone screen. Even as the video demonstrated how to paint spiders on her nails, she was fantasizing about the taste of honey glazed lamb over rice and a plate of karaage with spicy mayonnaise as the dipping sauce.

But her thoughts of greasy goodness and sugary heavens were dashed by the sound of movement behind her. Mina couldn’t help but crane her neck back out of reflex. They say curiosity killed the cat. But Mina believes that it was satisfaction that brought it back. The male student that was once asleep against the wooden table had sat up with a low roar and a stretch of his jaw. Was he yawning? He glanced around the room with a string of lazy blinks before raising his muscular arms over his head to stretch. Only then did she realize he wasn’t entirely human. He had little brown ears protruding out of his messy dark hair. Crowley had explained to those who had popped out of the coffins that there weren’t just humans attending classes on the campus. Some were Fae, some were Mermen, and some were Beastmen.

This would be a beastman. His eyes were a lovely shade of summer green, his skin was bronzed by the sun and his wavy hair was a pleasant milk chocolate color that shone in the early afternoon light. Mina was sure she had seen him in passing at least once or twice. So this would be the third time the two of them have crossed paths, even if the male student didn’t notice. Mina hadn’t realized she was staring at him, soaking in his handsome features until his lovely summer green eyes had met her mismatched ones.

Their gazes locked, but Mina didn’t feel anxious. She felt embarrassed.

The blonde’s heart knocked against her ribs. Her eyes broke away first as she stared at her sandwich as though it would play the role of her savior. Mina wondered if maybe this was her cue to leave the room. But the thought crumbled away when she heard the student behind her slowly rise to his feet with a soft hum. “You a herbivore or somethin’?” His deep voice was requesting a response from Mina. She flinched, her hands pulled her sandwich towards her chest as a heat bloomed in her cheeks and spread to the tips of her ears. The blonde glanced back at the sound of leisure footsteps approaching from behind. “Ahm…” She trailed off anxiously, her eyes met the beastmans again. The anxiety had been replaced with bashfulness. As he came closer and closer with his gloved fingers brushing each table he passed, Mina was starting to forget what he asked. “Like… A vegetarian? No… I eat meat… Sometimes…” She mumbled awkwardly and glanced down at her sandwich in her hands.

Was he going to bully her?

Mina felt her stomach twist into a tight knot when the student sat on the end of the bench, leaving a healthy distance of three feet between them as the nail tutorial ended. “Why’d you pass this time? That lil’ sandwich isn’t going to fill you.” He sounded disappointed with her choice albeit this being their first interaction. Mina pouted and looked up at him, seeing his relaxed posture with his arm resting on the back of the bench. Her pout quickly faded as she turned up her nose instead. Her face was still hot.

“It’ll fill me just fine! And meat has too much oil, so I try not to eat it unless I cook it myself! My skin can’t handle it right now!” She defended her precious sandwich as the student slid an inch closer. Again; he looked disappointed in her response. “What did you eat for breakfast? Carrots?” He teased as Mina snapped her head in his direction. His gaze was intense, but his eyes were half lidded as he gave her a smirk. He looked amused.

Mina wasn’t sure why he was so interested in talking with her. Maybe… He was trying to be polite since she was sitting alone? “Absolutely not! A girl like me has to watch her figure!” She rested her hand against her chest with a shocked expression. “Toast with butter or a single fruit! That’s all you can afford to eat if you have time.” She stated this as a form of fact as the beastman’s smile was replaced with a concerned frown. “You’re a guy, you wouldn’t get it.” Mina shook her head as a small smile formed on her lips. This was the first time she’s spoken to someone other than Mr. Handsome since she’s come here. “Pretty girls have to sacrifice those things for the sake of a slim waist. Don’t you know the price of beauty is expensive?” She snickered as the beastman eliminated another inch of space.

“Not exactly. Don’t you have P.E in the morning with the other frosh? Runnin’ around on an empty stomach is going to get you hurt.” He warned with a small swish of his tail against the smooth wood of the bench. Mina quickly retracted her hand into a curled fist with her smile growing impish. Appearing as though she had been caught by the beastman. “Haha… About that…” Mina trailed off, placing her sandwich down on the plastic wrapper before pressing her pointer fingers together. Her long acrylic nails covered in rhinestones and baby pink paint shimmered as they crossed one another with a soft plastic clicking sound. “Soooo… A cute girl like me isn’t really made to do all that physical stuff… Usually I sit on the bleachers and watch everyone else. Coach Vargas said it’s okay for now! But…” She trailed off again as she peeked over at Mr. Handsome who seemed to be staring not at her, but the beastman beside her.

Mina was a master of using the ‘I don’t feel well’ or ‘I’m on my period!’ card when she needed to get out of running around and sweating. Ruining her hair and make up. Risking her precious nails being broken. She hated gym class the most. And the class was mixed gender. She didn’t want to run around with boys when she could easily sit on the bleachers and play on her phone. “You see… The P.E uniform won’t fit me. I just haven’t gotten the fabric to make my own.” She sighed as she looked over at the lion with her smile growing in hopes of him understanding her reasons. “It’s also hella uggo, soooooo I was gonna make my own.” She didn’t notice the beastman getting closer and closer as his grin re-appeared. “Poor thing. Missing breakfast and an’ early morning jog? Sounds lonely.” He purred as Mina looked away from him and at her darkening phone screen.

“It is a little bit but, sitting on my phone is better than getting gross and sweaty and having to re-apply my makeup. I want to tell the Headmage I have a serious condition that if he makes me take P.E I’ll die.” She joked as she relaxed against the bench with a frown forming. “The other girls seem to like it though. I’m kindof the odd-one-out.” Mina never truly thought about how lonely it was seeing the other girls try and figure out how to get a broom off of the ground or having to jog in a big circle. Or how they would talk to one another during the lessons. “It’s okay though!” She quickly shook her head and pushed a smile onto her face. “I never had friends in highschool before! So it’s waaaaaaay harder now that I’m one of the oldest girls in my class!” She beamed with sparkling eyes as the beastman stared in shock at her cheerful disposition. His expression made her feel worse.

“Please laugh or something!” The facade quickly shattered as tears welled up in her eyes. Threatening to spill over as her face filled with a frustrating red color. “I don’t want to be sad about it!” She sniffled and balled her hands into fists as the beastman started to relax, appearing even more worried now. “I wanna have so many friends! Everyone seems so nice but it’s seriously SO intimidating for me! I want to know if they like sweets, what colors they like, what kind of pajamas they wear! I want to have so many friends that my phone is always buzzing! Like on TV!” She couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down her face and she quickly reached into her school bag as she sniffled.

Mina pulled out a small pack of tissues and dabbed at her cheeks and her eyes. “I want to hold hands and go to cute cafes… I want to explore the school with someone, not just myself!” She whimpered as the tears continued, and when she looked up, the beastman was now inches away from her. His ears were flattened against his head as he looked down at her. “Well, don’t cry. School only started a few weeks ago.” His deep voice was calming, leaving Mina with a different internal conflict. She still didn’t feel afraid of him. Intimidated, but not what she usually felt when she interacted with the opposite sex. Maybe it was because he was talking with her? “M’sorry. I cry super easily. This isn’t serious but I have waterworks like so bad.” She could see he was concerned as she turned to properly face him, her exposed knee was only millimeters from brushing against his thigh. “How do you feel now?” He asked as Mina gave a small shrug in response.

She wanted to blame herself for the lack of friends. But since she had zero in her world, making them in a new one almost felt pointless. “I don’t think the other girls will want to be my friend.” She looked sadly at the crumpled tissue in her hands. She hadn’t realized she was venting to the beastman about her dilemma until she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. “Girls need to make friends! But I’m nineteen and I don’t have a single bestie!” She sniffled sadly as the beastman’s eyes widened. “Well, don’t cry anymore,” his ears flattened against his head as Mina hurriedly pulled another tissue out of the plastic wrapping. “It is pretty sad. But all you have to do is take the first step. Not everyone will like you. That’s just how the world works. But I’m sure someone will want to be your friend.” He assured her, watching as she quickly wiped her tears away a second time with a small sniffle. “Think about it. In a few months, you’ll have so many people to talk to that you'll forget you were ever alone.” His green eyes studied how she perked up and how she stuffed her tissues into her school bag. Replacing them with a small leopard printed makeup bag. “... I’m sure you’ll make tons of friends seeing how prepared you are.” He chuckled as Mina puffed up her cheeks, flushed from the overwhelming emotions. “I just cry a lot. It’s healthy.” She huffed as the beastman nodded. “Whatever you say.”

He leaned over the table, resting his chin in the palm of his hand as she studied herself in her phone camera. Mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss, blush and highlighter. “Is it hard to do that stuff with your nails?” The beastman spoke up, seeing Mina’s eyes break away from the camera before quickly returning to touching-up her makeup. “Not really. People think so since they don’t have long nails like mine.” She explained and the bashful feeling returned. People don’t usually ask about her nails.

“They’re pretty. Do you do them yourself?” Mina almost dropped her lip gloss as she turned to look at the beastman who was patiently waiting for her response. “You like my nails? You think they’re pretty?” She asked hopefully as a warmth bloomed in her chest. Her eyes began to fill with excitement as the beastman nodded. “I think they’re very pretty. They suit you. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it.” His soft smile looked genuine as Mina’s smile widened and she presented her hands to the beastman proudly. “I just did them this weekend! I wanted something plain so I did my fave shade of glittery pink!~! Then I did an accent nail,” she wiggled her ring finger during her explanation. “So I just gave it a light coat, added glue, and just packed on a ton of gems so I could sparkle through the rest of the week! I really like how they turned out!” She cheered happily as the beastman nodded along.

Mina liked that he was a listener. She always feared being too talkative. It could be he was just being polite, but even then… She appreciated it a lot. “Um… Can I ask you something?” Mina swallowed down her anxiety as the beastman nodded. “Shoot.” He was starting to seem less and less intimidating to Mina. She wanted to see him more. She wanted to talk with him more. The blonde reached for her phone, holding it tightly in her hands before opening her empty contacts folder and holding it out to the beastman. Her heart started to race again as her words caught in her throat. Mina wants to try. She wants to take that first step. “Will…” She trailed off as her face burned with bashfulness. Her fingers squeezed around her phone before she lifted her mismatched eyes to meet the beastman’s summer green ones. “Will you be my first friend?” Mina asked as the student’s eyes widened in surprise. But the expression melted into one of satisfaction. From an outside perspective it looked smug, but to Mina he truly looked happy.

“Sure.” He chuckled softly and gently took her phone from her hands, his larger fingers brushing against hers for only a second. The blonde felt her chest swell with excitement as she watched Leona tap away at her phone before returning it to her.

Just as the bell rang to end their lunch time. “I’ll walk you to your class, you can tell me all about what other friends you want to make.” He teased as Mina grabbed her bag and clipped Mr. Handsome back onto the strap. “They’ll mostly be girls! Unless you’ll let me braid ribbons in your hair too?” She giggled and slid off of the wooden bench to stand beside Leona with her phone hugged against her chest.

Her first friend ended up being a guy…

For once, Mina felt hopeful for the future.

YES lovely biab is completely possible to do at home !! i’ve been doing my own nails at home now for about year since it’s cheaper than going to the nail salon every 3-4 weeks + it’s sooo fun and therapeutic <3

Omg do you think so?? Would it be too much to ask to ask how you do it? I’m not saying give me a full tutorial but is it something I can get a kit for? I know you have to be careful with stuff like that because you can give yourself a gel allergy but I’ve been seeing all this beautiful nail art on TikTok and I don’t really think I would do well with acrylic nails but I’d still really like to grow my own nails a little longer and have them be a slimmer shape

Beauty on the Budget!

According to the theory, human beauty is not only the outer beauty of the physical appearance but also the inner beauty of a person. Inner beauty is in terms of moral or virtuous character traits. Beauty blogging is related to makeup, hair treatment and much more related to physical appearance. It may include product reviews, article posts, makeup tutorials, your story related to makeup, etc.

For example- I have been using PLUM NIGHT GEL for the last month. And I loved that product. You guys can go and buy that from Amazon.

Best Beauty products that I love- Nyka lipstick ( coffee shade) Plum Night gel Swiss beauty eye shadow Mamaearth facewash Lakme Sunscreen

Future outlooks of beauty- Right from skincare, makeup and nails, the beauty industry has grown and evolved over the years. The beauty industry has changed by Genz's enthusiasm towards skincare, makeup products, etc. It is increasing the competition amongst all the beauty brands to work actively and get on the top.

I started doing my nails with regular polish because I wanted to take a break from gel polish (I used those for 4 years) and girlllll it looks horrible 🥴 No matter how many tutorials I watch they still come out patchy and weird looking. Any tips? Literally nothing works for me :/

i'm sorry love i do not!! i'm awful at painting my nails, i have a self-inflicted ban from doing it because every. single. time. i touch them before they're dry and i smudge them and then i try to fix the smudge but it just makes it look goopy and gross so then i try getting some of it off and then some of the good polish rubs off too and then i just take it all off 😭 i'm hoping someone comes through for you in the comments, though!!

#and if anyone wants to paint my nails for me... <33 #mei's mail

TO THE SISSY GIRL,

You're doing great embracing the girl you wanna become. I'm proud of you! Look at all the work you put into yourself. Maybe you're just getting started and need some help or maybe you've been doing this awhile and need a boost. Either way let's talk girl shit!

So you wanna play with make up! It's exciting, it's fun, it's expensive as fuck. Start off with the cheap shit especially if you only do your face a few times a month, hell I do a super basic face no conture or highlight or anything like that and my face still runs me almost 100$ so practice with the cheap shit! Get good brushes though! Also don't be upset when the make up trend you try doesn't look right the first few times, it takes practice to get a great face of make up. Don't let that discourage you from having fun. Make up is meant to be fun otherwise you couldn't buy everything in a shade of glitter. Also watch tutorials and read how tos! It helps. Never trust a liquid liner those bitches lie.

You know what else lies, women's clothing sizes! It's rare that a store cuts the size the same! It's infuriating and fucking rude lmao so know your measurements by inches/cm however your place measures and still be prepared to fuck up it happens. Thrift or shop by clearance, paying full price is a scam. Also let's not share under garments from our s/o, sister, mother, or roommate without their permission. That's extremely rude! Bras are far too expensive for you to be sneaking. Pick up your own!

For shoes most often you'll want to size up by 2 sizes. That's a little rough guestimate about how to fit into a pair of women's shoes but again women's sizes are wonky and witchery. For myself I can fluctuate between 3 sizes depending on the brand and make of the shoe. Again thrifting is another good possibility for shoe shopping just look into how to clean the shoe to make sure you're not picking up germs.

For your nails if you're that kinda girl like I am! Just be aware that the glue from press on nails can fuck your nails up especially if you're wearing them for a few hours and then popping them off after. Try and find a nail glue remover to help loosen the glue from the natural nail. As for painting your nails be mindful of what type of polish you're using. Some gels need a base coat and a uv light to harden otherwise it'll stay wet and tacky feeling. We don't like that. You also want a mid price nail polish something in the 3-5$ range.

For when you get the urge to purge you have a few options! You can always pack up and put away what you have. Out of sight out of mind. You put a lot of money into your collection and you shouldn't throw it out because you get bad thoughts once in awhile. Another option is donation. Bag everything up and drop it off at a local thrift shop. It can be anonymous if you leave the bags in the donations bin before/after closing. Another option is selling things online, though that takes a lot of mental bandwidth and time. However, just do not throw things out. That's wasteful and you'll eventually come to regret it.

If there's anything else you wanna talk about that'll help you on your sissy journey let me know, we'll talk.

Remember we are striving to advocate for and promote healthy and happy fetish based relationships. Kinks should always be acted out in a safe, sane, and consensual manner. As always the inbox is open for questions, comments, and conversation. Don't hesitate to reach out!
