I really like to change up colors but I think my favorite color is pink. I have tried blue, purple, red, black and others but I still go back to any shade of pink as the one I like the most.

Love,

I am a fan of the lighter and more natural colors, I like to think that unpolished is a beautiful look if the nails are healthy and shinny.

But for colors - I go with earth tones - I really like a sort of a tan color that was popular back in the 80s it was called some other name after all tan and beige are such boring names - I think it was sandalwood.

Just a bit on the plain side.

Love ya,

Sally

Simple clear gloss. I am such a different a woman than my wife and I think it is one of the reasons we have been doing as well as we have adjusting to my transsexualism.

I like clear nail polish and active length nails

She likes red talons

I spend 15 minutes putting on my makeup so I look like I don't have any on

She spends 15 minutes to look like she just stepped out of Cosmo

I like cotton bikinis

She likes silky panties

She wears frilly, lacey tops

I wear Henleys and button downs

I wear my hair dead straight parted on the side

She has a head full of curls

I like skinny jeans

She likes them baggy

I'm a flat-chested bean pole

She's curvy & petite

I eat like a horse

She watches me eat like a horse

But we both shopaholics, like pizza & beer and have this thing for boots. I just wish my size 11 feet could fit in her 7's...

I wear a nail hardner ....

It's clear, but quite shiny.

It seems as though my nails could get longer before HRT....they are much more brittle now.

HRT leaches calcium....DANG!

And when I wear a color, I like the lighter pinks....

My natural nails peel, chip or just break if they get long enough to look nice, before i went full time i wore clear or a nude color but when i went full time i got acrylics and i love them, i try to keep them at a sport length because i am in several bowling leagues... but getting back to your color question i like most colors, browns, reds and blues are my favorites, my SO likes blue so i get blues once in a while as a surprise.

Paula is a big fan of acrylics! Good as they work for her! I used acrylics during theyears i THOUGHT I might be a crossdresser. They can be removed after the weekend. They are designed for a week I think - some might get two weeks out of them. I was so active I had to use a super-glue to keep them on. That really destroys your nails!

So when I went full time I went natural. I could keep my nails pretty and looking good - especially the left hand (I am right handed). I thought it would be an easy thing to do - wow.

Then the HRT started working. Estrogen can leech your calcioum! It also keeps supplimental calcium from being absorbed - yikes! My nails SHATTER now.

So I have been like Dee Jay - with clear nail hardener. I was STILL having problems. My nails were sorter than when I was presenting male all thos years! NOT GOOD!

So I expected to have to switch to acrylics. Well - kinda 'iffy' when presenting male at work (have to - everytime I would come out I got fired) So I was trying desparate means!

I discoverd Sally Hausen 'diamond coat!' Its wonderful! I fix my cuticles, smoth the nails with one of those seven grade nail files, and put on one coat after anothe (1 hour drying between - do it while watching a movie on tv). In a weekend I can get o0n ten good coats! I then use a 'dull' coat (model airplane paint) and they look natural and un-shiney! And they don't break! yeaaaaa

But every two weeks the nail grows out a bit - you have to redo. I just buff down the raised part near the cuticle - don't worry about the polish - keep it on - and reapply. Its almost like a gel coat - and looks natural.

BUT

Color!

Seasonal! I love the pinks and pale pastels in the spring and summer. I switch to brighter reds in the fall. Then when it gets cold - the heavy burgandy and beet red colors! And it is NOT required your hands and feet match - although that sometimes works too. I wear colors on the weekends.

FEMININE! And it helps you pass completely if you are one of us t-girls that are still a bit androgynous. 'Men don't wear polish - has to be a woman" subconscious thoughts of others.

Hope this helps!

OH OH OH

Taking it off! I like those tubs with the foam inside - full of remover!. The non- acetone are supposedly better for you but I cannot get them to work quickly! And the tubs are refillable. I also use those make-up removal pads after - the remoisturize the nails and the cticles.

Alos use hand cream before you go to bed - keeps your hands soft and pretty. Its easier to lacquer your nails when the hands are healthy!

I like reds or hot pinks mostly, every now and then a pale frosty pink. I always put 2 coats of clear on top so I really get a high gloss shine for about a week.

I keep my toes polished all the time they are a nice red right now, my fingers I use a clear on all the time. I was having a problem of them splitting so I had a acrylic over lay put on so they don't break and allow them to get longer. There is a new gel out that uses UV light to harden,and looks natural, that I want to try.

Well right now I can't have my nails polished because I have kitchen lab 3 days a week at school (it is a safety and sanitation thing) nor can I have long nails. I do keep my toenails painted though. When I can paint my nails it really depends on my mood. I have worn everything from blue to pink to red to silver to gold and all colors in between. I really like the metallic colors though or the ones that are called "jewelled" that are kind of glittery.

I have a couple of nail varnishes but i'm not sure i like them very much, I like the idea of doing my nails but then it always seems a bit much. I also feel like I have to stay away from bright red nails because it seems so stereotypical transvestite

There are several types of acrylics, one they out a plastic tip on then cover the whole nail with acrylic, these are usually for short term wear, parties, holidays, they usually do not last long, the other is an acrylic overlay, there is a form placed under your existing fingernail and acrylic is applied over the whole nail, i get a fill every 2 - 3 weeks, they can stay on indefinitely but there are those that have said after 6 months remove them to give your natural nails a breather.

Right now I am going with my favorite color on my toes. I usually just stick with one color until the nails grows out a little bit. Then I change the color to something else. I think I might just be brave and get it done next time at the nail salon. I might even ask them to put a flower on the big toes. I can say this on the site but doing it is another thing. At least I can hope to do it.

Love,

Sarah F

Since I always wear tennis shoes or converse-rip-offs, I don't really see a point to painting my toes- and I don't really have a desire to. As for my nails on my hands, I used to go for purple or other cool colors but now I don't do much of anything. When I decide to paint my nails (other than trying to care for them if they're chipping and weak- I put coats of strengthener and main n' tail hoofmaker on them), I usually go for black or chrome. I LOVE CHROME nail polish- but it's so bloody hard to find! T.T Black and silver/chrome match my steel jewelry- and I really like the colors too.

Hi Sarah,

Admittedly, I have way too many bottles of nail polish :D

My favorites vary according to mood. Right now my two favs are pink chiffon, and cherrie red.

I have gone through phases where the more lavender colors were my favs.

HUGS

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
