After they are a little dry try putting them in the freezer or under cold running water. Drying nail polish is a simple chemical reaction, reduce the temperature and it rapidly turns solid.

Thanks for the tip! A friend also suggested a hairdryer with a cool button could work as well.

I got new glasses (on order) and started wearing contacts.

I got my blood work results back and they are good - very good  :-)

Sally Hanson makes some new gel polish that is great. The top coat hardens quick & it lasts much longer than any normal polish. 2 coats of polish then top coat. It's great polish.

Remember to use an undercoat. The gels can stain your nails otherwise

I like the way they look. I went with subtle but shimmering.

Hi Girls

What made me happy is seeing One of my best friends start to get back on her feet after a horrible weekend. There is two of us here that will alway go out of our way to help her and she found out who her true friends are. There is other's that helped too but just thought I say that. I have found and made a lot of friend here and It can be a very friendly place with lots of good advice.

I had a fantastic brunch with a couple of transgender activists and entrepreneurs. Thanks to Nikki Araguz Loyd and Angelica Ross for sharing part of their day with me. I hope that someday I can be as much of an asset to our community as these two ladies are.

I had a very definite male fail at the bank this weekend .I went into the bank to retrieve some money from an old savings account the Teller took my card swiped it and said Sorry Madam I cannot let You have this Money it's in the name of ******** my old male name .I explained that I was transitioning and showed him my old identification and he apologised and Said please take this as a compliment as I can see no male in You at all .I have to admit I left the bank on wings of happiness .I most definitely took it as a compliment and it made my Day

So true, always use a base coat. Your nails look nice. Biotin 10,000 mcg per day will help. Any polish will stain your nails, so always a clear base coat & it makes doing a new mani so easy. Oh & try to only use none acetone remover, it's better for your cuticles & not as harsh as nasty acetone. Good luck young girl, you look very pretty.

Yesterday work was very difficult but two things made it shine. For one, as I walked up to our work area a coworker handed me the reading glasses I had lost the day before. They aren't expensive, but they're new. Also, I had half a dozen "excuse me, miss" or "ma'am"s and not a single "sir" or "young man". Got that one last week from a woman who must have been 20 years younger than me.

Picked up my Thai Visa today!

GCS Surgery Paid In Full today!  (A part of my life's work)

Hard to top that in one day!

Hugz! 

I had an appointment today for laser hair removal for my facial hair (for now!). Seems like my hair and skin type is fine for the treatment (the odd grey or ginger one will have electrolysis) and i thought the price was great so I'll be beginning in the next month

Got to meet Jen Richards this evening. She's very funny and very pretty!

Nice 2 hour weekly session with my new electrolysis lady today. She does a great job & very few areas to clean up. Her blend system stings some but not much. I'm very happy I found her after a year or 2 with a previous electro lady that had older much more painful equipment. Happy Dance!!

Chrissy lasers do not do much, sorry hun.

Yay someone posted to this so I can find the thread.

I saw a therapist today, and for the first time ever I uttered, out loud, to another human being, that I am a woman.

I saw in the mirror, later, with my first ever purchased for myself women's clothing and wig, my reflection that was me. Suzi. I am alive!

Welcome to the world Suzi 😄
That first time you see yourself is amazing and it just gets better from there.

Had my retinopathy today, was worried because the letter said they saw something last time so had to go to a bigger hospital for a better machine. Having just seen the pics and scans with them it looks all ok for now. Parking was a nightmare though and priced by Dick Turpin. Now to get the Doctor to start getting started with the Gender stuff.

PS one from the weekend, My son caught me checking out the shoes in shoezone, and looked at me and said"i know Daddy", as there where others present i didn't press him on it but on the way home to his mothers i asked him what he ment. He told me that he'd seen my girl stuff and understood. So we talked about it some more and i asked him what he thought about it. He just looked at me and said" i don't care daddy, you are still you".

Children can be so awesome like this, before I came out my little cousin Rhoan, who is only 3, and I were playing together before dinner and he turns to me and says "You're not really a boy are you?" And I say no and he just hugs me 😂

Hugs to everyone,
Sarah

A friend of mine messaged me today. She thinks a friend of hers might be trans! They are only 16 and show a lot of signs. I'm not jumping to any conclusions, and I advised discretion.

But I'm so happy I might be able to help somone! Like I'm sure many of us always wanted to have but never did.
