Bronze nails (with Moscow and Wampus) -- July 11, 2026

ref# lists: my collection and etooz box of polish

79 Finger Paints - Surreal Sunset

41 ILNP - Pyro

79 Finger Paints "Surreal Sunset" is a dark brown with a dark rose shimmer. The base is a gray jelly, but it doesn't take much to build it up. An oxidized bronze sort of vibe. (I couldn't think of a better name for this combo.)

41 ILNP Pyro also has a jelly base but needs more coats to build up. The steel blue of the jelly pairs nicely with the gold, bronze, and red shimmers. Took 3 coats to build up but would need another for full coverage. I like seeing the jelly at the edges, where I didn't apply it evenly.

Moscow and Wampus, in peaceful proximity -- July 11, 2026

These litter mates used to snuggle together as kittens. As they grew up, they got territorial and had fights. To have them so close and still be chill is a blessing.

Powerman 5000 - "Black Lipstick"

Going through "old" songs on my "batch listen playlist" tonight. This is #96 on the list, out of like 582. I definitely first found it before 2022, but that's all I got for reference. Maybe 2019?

I def need to delete a few songs on there, now that I've purchased them (eg Meg Myers and Sevdeliza).

My plan now is to go with Finger Paints "Surreal Sunset" (79), because I like the way the brush handle feels in my hand. Tempted to put ILNP "Pyro" (41) beside it, as they both have a bronze shimmer.

I'm listening to my old "batch listen playlist" songs, from early-ish in the list. God, I have such good taste in music. I know I'm incredibly biased, though. These are the songs that I haven't wanted to get rid of, as I cull through the list. They've been there for like 5+ years.

I stg, my youtube music listening habits died after I discovered ST and started volunteering at the library. I feel far less empty inside now, thankfully.

This huge box of nail polish also gives me goals for life, haha.

I'm suddenly in the mood for solid colors, minimal shimmer, and no glitter. Might just go with a light pink, "ballet slippers" by Essie. I've already worn "mademoiselle", which is just a tiny bit darker. Maybe one accent nail?
