My alter ego is out to play, and she’s rocking these “Raunchy Red” nails from Death Valley Nails. 💅 She’s confident, she’s fierce, and she’s not afraid to get what she wants! ❤️‍🔥 These nails are the perfect for unleashing your inner vixen. #nailpolish #nailpolishhasnogender #nailpolishisforeveryone

Death Valley Nails’ 2025 Valentine’s release got me thinking about some of their past Valentine’s gems, and I had to pull out “Till Death Do Us Part” from 2024. 💖 This jelly thermal is hot – it shifts from black to a pinky mauve, and the micro pink flecks, holo glitter, and shards are perfection. 😍

👋🏻 I’m Brad & I love to paint my nails! I rediscovered my love for swimming. I’m a gay dad with a lovely husband and 7yo transracial adoptive daughter. I was dx’d with Crohn’s disease in ‘22. These are some intersections you’ll see throughout my content. #nailpolishisforeveryone #nailpolish #guynails

A Black child’s hand lying atop a Caucasian adult hand. Both hands have their nails painted in an aqua shimmer nail polish. The adult hand has a gray sweater sleeve while the child’s hand has a lime green winter coat sleeve with triangle patterns on it. The background is a warm gray tone that is wet concrete.

Their nails are painted light blue, light green and white shimmer and they are holding their three middle fingers up to their chin smiling.
