i went into my nail appointment planning to get some real goth-ass black gels and walked out with neon orange matte, ask me anything* *I don't understand how gel nails work, I just sit and do what they tell me

They cure your polish with a UV light. It's basically a tanning bed for your hands. Always apply sunscreen before you get gels! Neon orange can be so goth. Rock it.

I got my first matte finish polish and I don't like it? It's not matte enough. I feel like only certain colors look good matte and the color I chose is not one of them. It could also be a literal lifetime of glossy finish has my brain hard-wired.

Not matte enough.

Left hand with pink matte nail polish - not matte enough- with confetti decoration on the index/accent nail.
