#no gel or shellac

[ruiniel]

Currently brain-dead so following in the wake of the previous ask, any favorite color(s) for nail polish?

Aw ty for indulging me! Depends on mood/season/nail length(you'll catch me with short cropped nails and 0 polish or a manicure depending on the spoons available).

I love nude tones and an all time favorite is the French manicure.

But also dark colors, like plum or deep red, or dark green. The metallic gloss too, like a gray or a dark blue (contrasts with my cold skin tone).

But now! Experimented with something called 'mermaid fin', which I like way more than I thought I would dhejdhsje

feeling like it's not hair gel we need to destroy but perhaps Shellac and/or Elmer's® Rubber Cement

[sarcophagid]

mushitarou fully saturates his hair with gel every morning and it forms a protective resinlike layer to protect his cranium similar to a shellac bug. this is how he survived the car bomb you see

The most random ask yet probably so

When I was but a youngin trying to figure out my hair, I used to use and OBSCENE amount of setting hair spray/gel on my middle part. I shit you not it was to the point my hair was absolutely STIFF. Like it would be windy af and I'd be walking past people with their hair flying all over the place and mine was just. Rigid. It was literally like a shell.

Well anyway, I have a choice between two characters to project this random life experience onto, and I request your input as the final verdit:

who would be more likely to go through such a phase of grossly overusing hair gel/hair spray: Gidget or Orlam?

LOL????

hmmm I'll have to go with Gidget as I don't picture Orlam as ever using anything like that, but Gidget I could see often just being so annoyed with their hair in general that they just shellac it up so it stops bothering them as much lol

The formula to determine standard office temperature was developed in the 1960s around the metabolic resting rate of the average man. But a recent Dutch study found that the metabolic rate of young adult females performing light office work is significantly lower than the standard values for men doing the same activity. In fact, the formula may overestimate female metabolic rate by as much as 35%, meaning that current offices are on average five degrees too cold for women. This leads to the odd sight of female office workers wrapped in blankets in the summer, while their male colleagues wander around in shorts.

Not only is this situation inequitable, it is bad business sense: an uncomfortable workforce is an unproductive workforce. But workplace data gaps lead to a lot worse than simple discomfort and inefficiency. Over the past 100 years, workplaces have, on the whole, got considerably safer. In the early 1900s, about 4,400 people in the UK died at work every year. By 2016, that figure had fallen to 135. But while serious injuries at work have been decreasing for men, there is evidence that they have been increasing among women. The gender data gap is again implicated, with occupational research traditionally focused on male-dominated industries.

Every year, 8,000 people in the UK die from work-related cancers. And although most research in this area has been done on men, it’s far from clear that men are the most affected. Over the past 50 years, breast cancer rates in the industrialised world have risen significantly – but a failure to research female bodies, occupations and environments means that the data for exactly what is behind this rise is lacking. “We know everything about dust disease in miners,” Rory O’Neill, professor of occupational and environmental policy research at the University of Stirling, tells me. “You can’t say the same for exposures, physical or chemical, in ‘women’s work’.”

Cancer is a long-latency disease, O’Neill says, so even if we started the studies now, it would take a working generation before we had any usable data. But we aren’t starting the studies now. Instead,we continue to rely on data from studies done on men as if they apply to women. Specifically, Caucasian men aged 25 to 30, who weigh 70kg. This is “Reference Man” and his superpower is being able to represent humanity as a whole. Of course, he does not.

Men and women have different immune systems and hormones, which can play a role in how chemicals are absorbed. Women tend to be smaller than men and have thinner skin, both of which can lower the level of toxins they can be safely exposed to. This lower tolerance threshold is compounded by women’s higher percentage of body fat, in which some chemicals can accumulate. Chemicals are still usually tested in isolation, and on the basis of a single exposure. But this is not how women tend to encounter them.

In nail salons, where the workforce is almost exclusively female (and often migrant), workers will be exposed on a daily basis to a huge range of chemicals that are “routinely found in the polishes, removers, gels, shellacs, disinfectants and adhesives that are staples of their work”, according to the Canadian researcher Anne Rochon Ford. Many of these chemicals have been linked to cancer, miscarriages and lung diseases. Some may alter the body’s normal hormonal functions. If these women then go home and begin a second unpaid shift cleaning their home, they will be exposed to different chemicals that are ubiquitous in common products. The effects of these mixing together are largely unknown.

Most of the research on chemicals has focused on their absorption through the skin. But many of the ones used in nail salons are extremely volatile, which means that they evaporate at room temperature and can be inhaled – along with the considerable amounts of dust produced when acrylic nails are filed. The research on how this may impact on workers is virtually nonexistent.

Part of the failure to see the risks in traditionally female-dominated industries is because often these jobs are an extension of what women do in the home (although at a more onerous scale). But the data gap when it comes to women in the workplace doesn’t only arise in female-dominated industries.

Little data exists on injuries to women in construction, but the New York Committee for Occupational Safety & Health (NYCOSH) points to a US study of union carpenters that found women had higher rates of sprains, strains and nerve conditions of the wrist and forearm than men. Given the lack of data, it’s hard to be sure exactly why this is, but it’s a safe bet to attribute at least some of the blame to “standard” construction site equipment being designed around the male body.

Wendy Davis, ex-director of the Women’s Design Service in the UK, questions the standard size of a bag of cement. It’s a comfortable weight for a man to lift – but it doesn’t actually have to be that size, she points out. “If they were a bit smaller, then women could lift them.” Davis also takes issue with the standard brick size. “I’ve got photographs of my [adult] daughter holding a brick. She can’t get her hand round it. But [her husband] Danny’s hand fits perfectly comfortably. Why does a brick have to be that size?” She also notes that the typical A1 architect’s portfolio fits nicely under most men’s arms while most women’s arms don’t reach round it.

NYCOSH similarly notes that “standard hand tools like wrenches tend to be too large for women’s hands to grip tightly”.

In the UK, employers are legally required to provide well-maintained personal protective equipment (PPE) – anything from goggles to full body suits – to workers who need it, free of charge. But most PPE is based on the sizes and characteristics of male populations from Europe and the US. The TUC found that employers often think that when it comes to female workers all they need to do to comply with this legal requirement is to buy smaller sizes.

Differences in chests, hips and thighs can affect the way the straps fit on safety harnesses. The use of a “standard” US male face shape for dust, hazard and eye masks means they don’t fit most women (as well as a lot of black and minority ethnic men). A 2017 TUC report found that the problem with ill-fitting PPE was worst in the emergency services, where only 5% of women said that their PPE never hampered their work, with body armour, stab vests, hi-vis vests and jackets all highlighted as unsuitable.

When it comes to frontline workers, poorly fitting PPE can prove fatal. In 1997, a British female police officer was stabbed and killed while using a hydraulic ram to enter a flat. She had removed her body armour because it was too difficult to use the ram while wearing it. Two years later, a female police officer revealed that she had had to have breast-reduction surgery because of the health effects of wearing her body armour. After this case was reported, another 700 officers in the same force came forward to complain about the standard-issue protective vest.

But although the complaints have been coming regularly over the past 20 years, little seems to have been done. British female police officers report being bruised by their kit belts; a number have had to have physiotherapy because of the way stab vests sit on their body; many complain there is no space for their breasts. This is not only uncomfortable, it also results in stab vests coming up too short, leaving women unprotected.

I love your nails! Are they natural or like gel / shellac press ons?

Thank you :) they are natural, I just paint them with nail polish! 💅

[fairytail-whathesays]

Who has the Fluffiest hair in the guild. Like Grade A would just sit there and pat ur head for hours kinda thing.

Why, Laxus, of course.

The forbidden fluffiest hair. God's cruelest prank, putting hair that soft and fluffy on a guy that would bite off any hand that got near enough to it. You'd have an easier time yoinking the golden fleece than running your fingers through his hair. Alas.

After that, though, probably Elfman or Natsu. I'd say Wakaba, but a pompadour like that is undoubtedly held up by a shellac of gel.

[sixteenthtry]

What do you think of Shellac?

Are we talking about the gel polish, the sealer or the rock band?

Hi Liv!!

Could you give us tips on how you maintain your nails please? Do you get them done?

I do literally nothing to maintain them, but I get a shellac/UV gel manicure every 6-8 weeks!! they are my natural nails (no extensions) and it's very rarely anything other than a solid colour mani—this time was just a bit fancy bc i was a bridesmaid a few weeks ago hehe

my cuticles are always very dry because i'm a compulsive hand-washer, so I do use like hand cream on a semi-regular basis (especially as the seasons change!!)
