chaotic neutral: my favorite unexpected neutral nail colors

 

 

I love nail polish. I own an obscenely large amount of it. I feel incomplete without it. But I hate physically painting my nails.

They were like beautiful unicorns, those lesbians, for you had to search to find them. Oh, yes. You had to dig around. I had gone a full eight years without knowing they were out there, hidden away in luxurious penthouse apartments. But now I knew, and on the car ride home gazed out the window at Lake Shore Drive and all its gorgeous aspirational housing where the lesbians were, where the lives were happy.

I’m going to be one, I thought. I’m going to try.
