So I was out in Toronto this past weekend and decided to celebrate as I was able to actually grow my nails a decent length. rather than put on false nails I was excited about going to a nail salon and just getting them painted. I was coming back home on Sunday so I just wanted to have them use regular polish.
So I found a salon that was rated really well and went there and met a lovely tech and the facility was super clean. We discussed whether I just wanted them filed and what shape and what color for which I decided French and then zoned out as she worked on my hands, and at some point in time she tap my finger to put under the UV light robotically. I just put my hand on today and put it underneath the blue light and she was working on my other hand and then she like a tapped that other hand to put that one under the light for which I just realized you don't need it , the UV light for regular polish. My glands went right to the bottom and I saw the three letter word… "gel". I am mediately, realized that she had not understood that I wanted regular polish and continue to lift up my hands for other coats of polish in the finishing the French touch while I was trying to think about how I was going to ever get this polish off I could not admire the shininess and the finish, and the excellent job that she had done.
I was so excited because they look so good but also scared about thinking how I would take them off, but I figured I'd deal with that on Sunday and just enjoy the look. I looked online and saw that I could take them up by sucking my fingers in an acetone but decided that I would just have the same salon. Take them off a short two days later. I almost cried when she was taking them off as I love them, and so wish that she could just wear them home.
I know we all struggle when we have to remove clothing associated with other cells, but is there anything else that has a special place in your heart that when you need to change back it hurts. for me my lovely, glossy French tip nails with some thing that made me sad for the next few days.
Oh gosh, girl. I've never had mine professionally done, but I don't even like removing the stick-ons, so I can only imagine! At least you got some enjoyment out of them!
I feel your pain 😞. That is why when I took the plunge and had my nails done I had them done in my college colors. I figured that way I could keep them in male mode. Now everyone sees me with my colorful nails all the time
Was an early step in coming out. You can see the first time doing them in my profile.

I love having my nails done. I'm looking forward to the day when I'm 100% full time and I can keep my nails long and polished all of the time. Taking my nail polish off for me is a feeling of surrender to the forces that keep me from full authenticity.
