DUSK WARDEN
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Im super proud of how this piece came out, especially as it's my first ever sculpture!
The concept is as follows: The dusk warden is a gentle protector, but it's face is off-putting so it wears a mask so as not to scare anyone. Despite this, the true face is far more interesting, and mask or no mask the creature has just as sweet a personality!

’I pitched a lot of ideas to Oda in our first meeting. One was about how to introduce Zoro in an action based scene to show off what he can do before we meet him in Shells Town. In an old SBS (fan Q&A) Oda mentioned that Zoro was previously recruited by Mr. 7 of Baroque Works and killed him in combat. This was exactly what I was looking for: something within canon while never actually shown in the manga itself. Oda turned to one of his editors and said: “Did I say that?”
The next day I was presented with this drawing. The only time Mr. 7 has been fully drawn by Oda. He said he was impressed by my knowledge of his world and he liked the idea. Holding onto this felt like I was carrying the Holy Grail. The first of many great conversations and interactions with the man himself. Someone I’m honored to call a collaborator and a friend.‘

Couldn't find any matte topcoat in stores so I d.i.y.ed it. If anyone is interested in a quick matte nail hack: a scoop of baby powder on any topcoat while it's still tacky! Once dry, wash off and Tadaaaa!!! Actually really like how this look came out so I might be trying more matte looks in the future!

That pic is sooo giving Thom energy. If you took away the tats, maybe even trevor energy. Trev and Thom seem loke nail polish dudes.
can’t describe the kombucha girl “well… no i mean. mmmm. maybe… wellllll 😳” moment i just had thinking about trevor in nail polish. the equal but opposite energy of them,,, thom is a chipped nail polish natural nail girl and trevor is 1000% extensions and an almond manicure every two weeks
also because i’m eight hours into this shift and i’m bored you get a moodboard of all the nail ideas trevor brings to the salon when he and alex turcotte have their monthly nail sesh 💅:

floral pastel nails.
this time is pastel series of colors, with flowery and bright designs in general. it’s simple but just so pretty and it does make me happy. did matte finish for my toe nails, it does give a different vibe with a matte finish instead of shiny finish.
more happy days ahead.

8 Straightforward Ways To Banish Dry, Fix Brittle Nails For Good
Jun 29, 2022 / Post by by Darshana Rathi
Conditioner isn’t just for your hair—a little extra TLC will take your nails a long way.
Having healthy, strong nails is powerful, no matter what the nail colors you wear, whether you love nude nail colors or go polish-free. Healthy nails (and even the results of good nail cuticle care) are one of those less-visible morale boosters, like wearing a fancy pair of underwear just because or splurging on amazing socks to wear under your boots.
Whether your nail care is a form of self-care, an indulgence, or just regular maintenance, keeping your nails in tip-top shape is a valuable investment. And here’s the good news: Healthy nails need an investment of time, not money.
The best route to stronger, longer nails is mostly through simple lifestyle habits, not pricy nail tools. But getting healthy nails also means kicking some bad habits, such as using your nails as a built-in pocket knife. Follow these steps, and you’ll have stronger, longer nails before you know it.
1. Moisturize your nails
Moisturizing is a well-known mystery to healthy skin, but it’s often overlooked in nail care. While dry, brittle nails can be the result of many aspects, they’re ultimately a cry for moisture, so consider good moisture the foundation of your nail care routine. When applying hand lotion, give your nails a little extra concentration. There are plenty of moisturizing nail products on the market, but using moisturizer is only half the battle—there’s more to strong nails than a fancy cream or serum.
Tumblr media
2. Leave your cuticles alone
It’s common practice to cut, push back, or try to get rid of cuticles altogether, but cuticles are not the adversary. The cuticle is “the nail’s natural protective seal,” according to certified dermatologists and nail experts. Messing with your cuticles can do far more harm than good—even if a nail technician is the one doing the handiwork. A compromised cuticle can leave the nails helpless and at risk of infection.
Cosmetic dermatologists agree that poorly kept cuticles can have a domino effect. When your cuticles get dry or injured it can damage the nail bed and affect the way your nails are growing out. They suggest moisturizing the cuticles with cream or cuticle oil to help protect and strengthen your nails.
3. Avoid contact with water
Don’t stop washing your hands or shower with gloves on but do pay attention to ways you can reduce the time your nails spend in contact with water because excessive water contact can weaken nail structure. (Wet hair is especially vulnerable, and the same caution-when-wet approach you take to handling wet locks can apply to nail care, too.) For example, consider wearing gloves while doing the dishes or other wet work.
Do you know how soft and bendy nails get after a long bath? Consider this: The nail is like a sponge. It is 1,000 times more absorptive of water than the skin, for example, and so water can easily diffuse into the nail. Extreme water exposure can put considerable strain on delicate nail cells (called onycholysis), which can lead to brittleness, peeling, and breakage.
This is also why absorbing nails before a manicure is a bad practice. Not only does this make your nails more vulnerable to infection, but it also doesn’t allow nail polish to adhere as well or last as long.
Tumblr media
4. Be gentle
The best nail care is gentle care. For starters, cosmetic dermatologists are against the habit of invasively digging under your nails. Sometimes someones take the pointy end of a nail file and dig underneath their nails to get the dirt out. You don’t want to do that, because it can separate the nail plate from the underlying bed, and then you can develop a bacterial fungal infection.
For similar reasons, you should resist the urge to use your nails as replacement tools—no matter how convenient it may be. (There are plenty of other creative ways to open a can of soda.) And if you do indulge in an acrylic or gel manicure—which you should only do sparingly—proper removal is important. When you peel [acrylic or gel nails] off, you’re peeling layers of the nail, the nail plate, and that’s going to weaken your nails—so that’s a no-no.
5. Treat your nails like you treat your hair
It’s the new golden rule. Hair and nails are both comprised of keratin proteins, so it makes sense that many of the same rules for treatment apply. Both hair and nails can become dry and damaged from over-processing. Frequent polish removal, gels, and acrylics do to nails what dyes, chemicals, and warmness application do to hair. Just as hydration can help repair hair issues such as frizz and split ends, it can help improve dry and brittle nails. There’s no nail care equivalent to second-day hair, but operating as though there are hard and fast rules for how to wash, care for, and use your nails can help keep them in the same good shape as your hair.
It bears repeating: Hydration is the foundation. For healthy, growing nails, you should condition your cuticles the same way you would your hair.
Tumblr media
6. Watch the weather
Winter can be a rough time for skin, hair, and nails alike. Not only can cool, dry climate cause nails to get extra brittle, but the drastic swings in temperature from going outdoors to indoors can cause additional damage. The shift from a heated home or office to the chilly open air can cause nail cells to contract and expand repetitively, resulting in a weakening between the cells, leading to breakage. For both your hands and nails, it's wise to wear gloves in the winter and to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
7. Rethink your products
Instead of those old-fashioned emery boards that cause microscopic tears in the nail, opt for a glass or crystal nail file.
It would be best to avoid nail polish remover altogether in the most ideal scenario. The best alternative is to use non-acetone removers that contain hydrating oils and ingredients instead of giving up the joy of a nice manicure.
Nail brush: Instead of digging under your nails with tools such as a filer, use a gentle nail brush to clean out the dirt. Or, for a resourceful alternative, use an extra toothbrush you have lying around.
Nail growth products: Go ahead and pass on these. So many of the so-called nail treatment or nail growth products on the market are in reality clear nail polishes with marketing additives that have no scientific validity. Just stick to basic nail care products.
8. Be patient with nail growth
You probably know the victory of growing your nails past your fingertips if you're a chronic nail-biter. Healthy habits plus patience pay off in nail care. But the primary focus should be on figuring out how to strengthen your nails, not solving the puzzle of how to grow nails fast. Stronger nails can lead to longer nails if you practice good nail care, but it all takes time. If you battle brittle nails and constant breakage, it’s smart to keep your nails clipped short until they regain strength; then they’ll have the foundation they need to grow longer.

drug dealer!mikasa and her hood princess gf headcanons
📝: don’t y’all judge me but this been in my head all day and it’s not going nowhere so I’m sharing the delusion.
mentions of heavy drugs, violence and weapons, robbery and setups, smut warning, tribbing, gunplay, fingering, car sex, Mika being a freak
drug dealer!mikasa, who you first met while working at a gas station was so infatuated the moment she laid eyes on you. Always frequenting on your scheduled days and making more visits than the average customer.
drug dealer!mikasa, who always looked fine as hell, regardless of how she was presenting that day. Whether she in a pair of baggy joggers, band t-shirt and a pair of Nikes or tight fitting two piece skirt and tube top that revealed all of the tattoos littering her toned body. Nothing but designer and expensive shit touched her skin.
drug dealer!mikasa appeared cool as a fan but every time she entered that store, she wondered how she was going to approach a bad bitch like you..loving your various hairstyles that you switched out weekly and duck bill nails. Not to mention the gold hoops dangling from your ears, clavicle piercings and tattoos.
“Who done your arm piece? It’s beautiful.” “From the shop on 104th. The tall dude with the long hair? Him.”
drug dealer!mikasa only smirked when you brought him up because she knew him very well. “That’s my boy Eren. We used to work together.” Failing to mention that said work involved a little something on the illegal side. Something she could never give up as easily.
drug dealer!mikasa, who drove a brand new matte black Audi R8 or Benz Truck when you saw her and wore jewelry that could pay your rent always gave a vague answer when you asked her what she done for a living.
“Shit, I’m tryna get like you, pookah. What you do for work?” “Family business. Nothing major.”
drug dealer!mikasa, who lived with her uncle, a well known club owner and kingpin attended the university as a business student, put her studies to good use selling all types of drugs to her peers; from the star football player to the stuck up sorority girls. It brought her joy to see those bitches tweaking on her supply.
drug dealer!mikasa, who mainly hung out on your side of town would offer to smoke you out after your shifts as you two sat in her car. Talking about random shit and having a good time. It was one night when the two of you were chilling when you decided to ask her once more what she done while she was high.
“I already told you, I’m in the family business.” uttering as you caught a glimpse of the baby Glock tucked between her console and a dime bag right beside it.
drug dealer!mikasa knew she couldn’t keep her secret any longer and seeing the excitement in your eyes at the prospect of her being a dealer, began to spend a lot more time with you and a whole lot more money! Buying you gifts, taking you out and spending racks at the strip club with you.
drug dealer!mikasa loved having you by her side when she made her drops. Knowing that you weren’t some boujie bitch who’d be scared. Sitting pretty in her passenger seat and holding her pistol. Not to mention that having a sidekick made it easier to hit a lick. Setting men up from her uncle’s club who had been harassing girls and robbing them blind.
“That dude again? Don’t worry, we’ll take care of him. Right, baby?” “Of course, this gon’ be fun.”
drug dealer!mikasa, who didn’t even need drugs after the high of watching you get these assholes down to their underwear and then coming in for the drop. Getting turned on by watching you count your money up while the guy cried in the corner. Just having to fuck you crazy afterwards.
“Yeah, suck on that gun like you did him, baby.” That mouth is so fucking pretty..” shoving her barrel between your lips as she fingered you in the front seat. Knowing how much wetter it got that little plump pussy.
drug dealer!mikasa loved when you fed each other percs because the sex was ten times more intense. From letting your tongue piercings clash in sloppy kisses as you scissored to riding a double sided dildo for almost an hour; going back and forth to see who could come the most. Leaving the bed drenched in your puddles of squirt and silky cream.
drug dealer!mikasa dicked you down better than any man with that thick eight inch strap on. Pounding you from behind and slapping your thick ass with each stroke.
“You fucking the shit out this pussy!…oooh..” “Then come for me, gorgeous. Give me that shit.”
drug dealer!mikasa ate you out and stimulated herself with a vibrator until the two of you finally tapped out and came down from that high.
drug dealer!mikasa had never met a girl like you, knew she’d never be able to fuck with anyone else after getting a taste of you.
