Nelly always made sure to paint her entire fingernail so people would know that she wasn't like other girls. She was crazy.

#the history of nail polish is mad interesting ngl #but yeah before the 1940s painting your whole nail was an act of rebellion #you were supposed to leave a half-moon spot blank on your tips and cuticles #but Nelly didn't have time for that so she was just ahead of the game #10/10 feminism moment #she's such a queen for this #anybody who doesn't read my tags is gonna be REALLY lost on this one #also you were only supposed to do natural tones and muted/rich reds #but you know damn well nelly was painting her nails whatever fucking color she wanted #ugh her mind #failure: a love story #failure a love story #nelly fail #autism #adhd #fashion history
