Painting fingernails is boring. Painting a picture is more like it. I like using French dye to paint on silk, but you need a frame to hold the silk above the table. Oil paint is most fun but it stinks. Acrylics dry so fast you can't work them, you have to be accurate each stroke. The challenges make it exciting. But paint on fingernails is boring.

Well, first, I'm not painting my fingernails. I'm painting my toenails. And I appreciate you pointing out how I spend my time as boring. :D



And for the record. I paint canvas too.

Nail polish originated in China, dating back to 3000 BC. Around 600 BC during the Zhou Dynasty, the royal house had a preference for the colors gold and silver. However, it would eventually transition to red and black. During the Ming Dynasty, nail polish was often made from a mixture of egg whites, beeswax, Arabic gum and flower petals to create a pigment that they would soak their nails in for hours to reach a desirable effect.
