this is the best thing I have ever found at costco

another set inspired by Crashlands 2! CORAA was one of my fave characters to write — love channeling my inner snarky chaos femme 😘💖 GUY-D was also quite fun to write. his face is so silly and the little 'ahrm hrm' sound he makes in game is hilarious 😁

right hand with nails in a short rounded shape painted with different designs on each nail. from thumb to pinky — silver background with a dark purple square and a neon hot pink 'eye' in the center; pointer to ring finger painted with a dark purple background and neon yellow accents to form a little face with a mustache when viewed upside down; neon green with a neon yellow pentagon design

same right hand, now palm up and fingers curled inwards. the three fingers in the middle now make a little mustached face when next to each other

a tribute to Crashlands 2 with this set since it comes out THIS WEEK! I'm so excited for this game to finally be out in the world! there are a million things I wish I kind of did a bit differently (much like making a game lmao), but ultimately I'm pretty happy with how this turned out 💖

left hand with nails in a short rounded shape painted with a shimmery burgundy lacquer with a golden stripe streaking across all the fingers, accented with a shifty pink-orange and small silver stars

I didn't do it on purpose but this holographic set ended up matching the colors of a set of six daggers one of my DnD characters has, a pair each of black, gold, and silver. hers are called the Reminders — each knife a lesson she's supposed to remember ⚔️

this past week was very crunchy and my brain is sapped, so I kept it simple. in the shade, this color (Mooncat's Lust for Vengeance) looks almost sweet. and then the light hits it and you get a lovely and sinister (complimentary) green and copper flash. quickly becoming one of my faves
