When you can't stop singing, "I'm bored in the house and I'm in the house bored."
I got this thing at the start of quarantine when I didn’t have a job and desperately needed a hobby. And let me tell you, it did wonders for my anxiety.

"I'm not a fan of regular polish (mainly because I'm just too impatient to let it dry), and I definitely don't have the skills to even attempt acrylic nails.
