You might have noticed a lot of nail bloggers wearing purple today, making a stand about bullying in the nail polish community. I’m fortunate not have been the subject of bullying in the world of nail polish, yet. I have, however, experienced persistent and life-altering bullying in my life.
Emily de Molly ‘It’s Complicated’
A lot of people say that a bully is a bully because they’re cowards, or insecure. It’s probably often the case, but personally I have never understood the need to drag others down with me. If I feel like crap, or insecure or cowardly I’d much rather do what I can to make those around me feel better, because if you don’t have happy people around you you’re not likely to feel any better yourself. But maybe I just don’t think normally.
I could harp on, but you know what, no matter the motivation behind bullying it doesn’t change the fact that it’s shit and it hurts. Don’t do it, think a little before you speak/tweet and try a little kindness instead.

Emily de Molly ‘It’s Complicated’
This was three coats (you’ll likely need this many for opacity), the formula is great too. This is one of a few Emily de Molly’s I got a few months ago and it is only due to a huge polish back-log that it’s taken this long to post the first one. Now, I do generally dislike milky polishes, but I think this might be the turning point polish! Definitely getting me some more EdM’s.
Oh and I have so much faith that we can shun bullying trolls from the nail polish community that these images are merely cropped – no colour balance, no lighting tweaks, none of that. I know we can all see the good in everyone’s work and hey, if you’ve got nothing good to say, shut the f**k up.
